Moodle out-performs other LMS in Top 100 Tools for Learning Poll

Moodle has been voted the #1 Course Management System in the yearly “Top 100 Tools for Learning 2012” poll held by the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies, and came 11th overall in all categories.

C4LPT has is defined a Tool as “Any tool that you could use to create or deliver learning content /solutions for others, or a tool you use for your own personal learning.”

The votes come from a mix of backgrounds, with 582 votes this year – each selecting their top 10 tools. So it is not surprising that the top 100 is dominated by tools that can be used personally/professionally 82 out of 100 – not many people would have their own personal Moodle site for their own usage!

Below is the extracted list of those which were not deemed for personal/professional development usage were as follows:

So as you can see only three course management systems made it into the top 100 Tools list, however for the last six years, Moodle has stayed in and around the 10th position which with the increasing amount of personal type apps that are used for learning is a massive achievement.

The last 6 years positions were:

• Top 100 Tools 2012: 11
• Top 100 Tools 2011: 8
• Top 100 Tools 2010: 10
• Top 100 Tools 2009: 14
• Top 100 Tools 2008: 9
• Top 100 Tools 2007: 12
