    Welcome to Moodling!

    Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment

    Moodle is a free learning management system that enable you to create powerful, flexible, and engaging online experience. It is designed to support a style of learning called social constructionism. This style of learning is interactive. The social constructionism philosophy believes that people learn best when they interact with the learning materials, construct new material from others, and interact with other students about the materials.
