UR Courses is based on
Moodle, a course management
system (CMS) - an Open Source software package designed using
sound pedagogical principles, to help educators create effective
on-line learning communities.
What does Moodle mean? The word Moodle was originally an acronym
for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, which is
mostly useful to programmers and education theorists.
It's also a verb that describes the process of lazily meandering
through something, doing things as it occurs to you to do them, an
enjoyable tinkering that often leads to insight and creativity. As
such it applies both to the way Moodle was developed, and to the
way a student or teacher might approach studying or teaching an
online course.
