| For example: educational courses and training programs.

|-
|01:07
| It also helps us to manage our '''courses. '''

|-
|01:11
|We can create and '''edit''' content, give access to students, grade their submissions etc.

|-
|01:21
|  '''Moodle''' is a responsive, free and open source software.

|-
|01:27
| It is one of the most popular '''LMS''' used globally by educational institutes.

|-
|01:33
| Its security controls keep our data safe and protected.

|-
|01:39
|  It has some very powerful features that empower both teachers and learners. 

|-
|01:47
| '''Moodle''' also provides detailed documentation which makes it easy to use.

|-
|01:54

|-
|02:06

|-
