Development[change | change source]
Moodle has continued to evolve since 1999 (since 2001 with the current architecture). It has been translated into over 100 different languages and is accessible in many countries worldwide.[5] Institutions can add as many Moodle servers as needed without having to pay license fees. The Open University of the UK currently uses a Moodle installation for their 200,000 users[6] while the UK government uses a Moodle installation for their Civil Service Learning platform serving half a million employees.[7]
