I love that Moodle allows users to install and customize the program as needed. I enjoy fiddling with settings and installing the software. I like the feeling of successfully meeting those challenges. Not all teachers do though.  I certainly understand that. 

Moodle now offers free cloud hosting for all teachers. Moodle will take care of the installation and updates. They will provide free use for teacher’s individual classes ( up to 50 users). 

Key features include:

  • Free hosting (supported by advertising)
  • Instant signup via mobile phone
  • ull version of Moodle with minimal limitations
  • Up to 200 MB disk space 
  • Unlimited courses, unlimited database size
  • Integrated with BigBlueButton for free videoconferencing (supports up to 6 users with full video, audio, whiteboarding and presentation capabilities)
  • Ability to personalize and customize a Moodle site
  • Available in more than 100 languages with multilingual capability
  • Full support enabled for the Moodle Mobile app.

This is terrific news for teachers wanting to get started with blended learning but lacking support or the interest in the technology.
