While certainly hugely popular around the world, Moodle is just one of the many content/learning management systems with similar features that are used by most educational environments now. Regardless of the brand and functions, the use of such systems is increasing at a rapid pace in education, businesses and other organisations.
By learning about and using Moodle, both you and your students will build a range of highly transferable skills. Most importantly, you will build a way of thinking and the confidence to harness and use the power of increasingly ubiquitous digital technology in a merger with the timeless task of education – safely, manageably, one module at a time. And if the college were to decide to change from Moodle to something else (and why would they want to do such thing? ;-)) it will take you much less time to learn the tricks of a new, similar software. More importantly, you will know how to put it to good use.
