Moodle is modular in design and construction and can readily be extended by creating plugins for specific new functionality. Many third party plugins are freely available making use of this infrastructure. PHP can be used to author and contribute to new modules. Moodle’s development has been assisted by the work of open-source programmers. This has contributed towards its rapid development and rapid bug fixes. |
