Wondering how to give your students an online learning
experience? Use Moodle, a tool available at no cost from the

and manage an online extension of your classroom. Moodle allows
you to create a password protected site where you can create
online assignments, have students upload documents, facilitate
online discussion, take quizzes, and more. Most of what you
would traditionally "hand out" to students can be made available
online for them to access. Using Moodle is free and easy!
