Moodle buzz

OEB: What was the clincher for you to choose Moodle, then?

Graeb-Konneker: At Shell, we have a learning strategy that has been developed over a number of years, starting with the use of another VLE in 2001. Today, Moodle is just one of half a dozen applications that we use in learning and knowledge management. However, it is a valuable add-on to the tools we already have because it is strong in one specific aspect. We want knowledge workers; we want people to be able to contribute, so you need to have a functionality that engages users and allows them to submit, influence, manipulate and drive the knowledge that is in the system. In many ways, Moodle comes very close to that because it supports a constructivist learning mode. It is no big surprise that this was a good fit.
