How it works
Because Moodle is open source, schools control their data and can adapt the platform to their exact needs, from a small training site to a national university system. The plugin directory adds everything from video conferencing to plagiarism checking, and the community is large enough that most problems already have an answer.
The software itself is free to download and use, which is why it is popular in public education and developing countries. Schools that do not want to host it themselves can use MoodleCloud, a hosted service with a subscription. Moodle is the right choice when control and cost matter more than a polished out-of-the-box design.
