Moodle’s journey is rooted in the philosophy of "social constructionism"—the idea that people learn best through collaborative creation. Originally an open-source project by Martin Dougiamas, Moodle Cloud was created to provide a low-barrier, hosted version of the platform, allowing educators to launch a professional learning environment in minutes without needing technical expertise or local servers.
The Moodle narrative is one of global community and freedom. As an open-source-first platform, it has become the most widely used LMS on the planet, supported by a vast network of developers and partners. Their story is about democratizing education, ensuring that even the smallest organizations have access to powerful, customizable learning tools.
Educators using Moodle Cloud often gamify their courses by integrating activities from Kahoot or leverage the language-learning capabilities of Duolingo for Schools.
