Abstract

As Moodle (and similar online teaching tools) move into their second decade, it is important to learn how they have caught on among teachers and students. This research attempts to answer the question: Do students and teachers use Moodle to the maximum? A two-part questionnaire was designed to probe student and teacher use of Moodle. Results show that neither students nor teachers take full advantage of what Moodle has to offer.
