Preface

Since its launch in 2002, Moodle has become the benchmark that every learning management system is measured against. It has won a wide range of international accolades and established itself as an ecosystem for a large number of educational tools and services.

Moodle 3 Administration, Third Edition is a complete, practical guide for administering Moodle sites. It covers setting up Moodle, configuration, and day-to-day administrative tasks as well as advanced options to customize and extend Moodle.

The author, who has been at the cutting edge of Moodle administration since its advent, has adopted a problem-solution approach to bring the content in line with your day-to-day operations. The practical examples will help you to set up Moodle for large organizations and small courses alike.

This is a one-stop reference for tasks that you will come across when administering a Moodle site of any shape or size. It not only covers core Moodle functionality, but also third-party tools and add-ons that will increase your flexibility and efficiency even further when dealing with administrative duties.

Why another book on Moodle administration? Since the second edition of the title in 2011, the system has been modified and extended significantly to cover all the relevant new functionality in Moodle 3.
