Moodle is a kind of VLE and it is now widely used all over the world by schools, institutes, universities, companies, independent educators, and home schooling parents. It has great potential for creating a successful e-learning experience by providing an abundance of excellent tools that can be used to enhance conventional classroom instruction in any VLE system. Moodle can scale from a single-teacher site to a more than 50-thousand-student University.
This chapter has made a comparative study between Moodle and other VLE systems, and this was based on two kinds of comparison. The first phase was based on the features and capabilities of VLE tools, and the second one was based on the technical aspects of VLE systems. From this study, we aimed to discover the best and most suitable choice of VLE systems that would meet the requirements of Qassim Un iversity. In this, our initial assessment, we have succeeded in finding that optimal VLE platform, and it is Moodle.
This chapter has presented the work that has been done to date. The future work is to work hard within Moodle and to test it with a sample by using departments in some colleges at Qassim University in order to discover all possible problems t hat could occur when using it. Initially, there will be a survey for obtaining information directly from different sources, including participants who are in a position to provide such information. Many variables will be considered at this point and the study will attempt to identify the relationships among such variables.
