According to the comparison study above, we have chosen Moodle as the suitable platform for this project. In this section, we will present the literature on Moodle including its architecture, benefits and limitations and tools, as well as we will mention more reasons for choosing this platform. Moodle is the most user-friendly and flexible free open-source courseware products available all over the world. Moodle is a VLE that lets teachers provide and share documents, assignments, quizzes, forums, chats, etc. with students in an easy-to-learn and user-friendly interface (Dougiamas, 2011; Cole, 2005 and Wharekura-tini, 2004).
Moodle is CMS designed to help educators who want to create quality online courses. It has excellent documentation, strong support for security and administration, and is evolving towards Information Management System/Shareable Content Object Reference Model (IMS/SCORM) standards (Zenha-Rela, et al., 2006 and Cole, 2005). Moodle has a strong development and large user community and users can download and use it on any computer they have at hand (Berry, 2005; Brandl, 2005 and Al-Ajlan, et al., 2008).
