Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a software package
designed to help educators create quality online courses. Such
e-learning systems are sometimes also called Learning Management
Systems (LMS) or Virtual Learning Environments (VLE).

Moodle is Open Source software: which means it is not only completely
free to download and use but also free to modify and distribute (under
the GNU General Public License). Moodle runs without modification on
Unix, Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, Netware and any other system that
supports PHP, including most webhost providers. Data is stored in a
single database: MySQL and PostgreSQL are best supported, but it can
also be used with Oracle, Access, Interbase, ODBC and others.

Moodle contains over 25 language translations, including: Arabic,
Catalan, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English (UK and US versions), Finnish,
French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese,
Romanian, Slovak, Spanish (Spain, Mexico, Argentina and Caribbean
versions), Swedish, Thai and Turkish.
