Moodle

Online classroom software

Moodle is a free, open-source learning management system used by schools and universities to host online courses.

Teachers post materials, assignments, and quizzes; students submit work and participate in forums.

The name blends "modular" and "object-oriented dynamic learning environment." Check Moodle for this week's readings.
