This is where Kiwis to go to learn
about how to use Moodle in New Zealand.
Moodle is an online Learning Mangement System or LMS. It is also known as a Virtual Learning Environment or VLE.

Moodle is the fastest growing system for delivering educational and training material online. It's success comes from the collaborative effort of thousands of people worldwide. This site has collected resources from around the world, and we have added some of our own, to make it easy for you to come to become competent in delivering e-Learning courses with Moodle.
