It is used for all this and much more because it is easy to access, and it is a community project that all students in a class(school/club can use).

-What is a general public license? It's acronym is GPL and it is a license that an open source software has and allows it and its source code to be copied, distributed and modified for free. It is usually used with GNU.

-How do you use moodle? I use moosdle as an extra tool in my learning. I use it whenever we have assignments posted there and also to study for tests since there are additional webpages and videos that help. I also use the calendar to stay organized.

-Assess Moodle, give it a rating. I think that moodle is a great tool to use in education. If I had to give it a rating it would probably be 8.5/10. It is excellent if you forget books or to remind you of assignments. Also, we don't need to carry heavy backpacks because of it. Even though sometimes there are problems with either enrolling students or that certain documents aren't always visible to everyone, it is definetly something I would recomend that every school get since it makes learning easier and more accessible.
