Why wouldn't you pick Moodle?

There's no reason that I can think of, especially with the improved Moodle version 2.0 to be released shortly.  However, perhaps you have a need that's more than Moodle can meet at this time.  If you're considering the use of Moodle as a course management system (CMS) or, as I prefer to call it, a learning management system (LMS), then you have likely done some research already and have concluded that Moodle will be a good fit to meet your need.  Congratulations!  You will save yourself lots of money by eliminating the purchase of CMS/LMS software.  You will need a server or access to a server that houses Moodle.  There are lots of great web sites that can assist you in your efforts.  Choosing the correct one for you depends on your need.  Some sites will even offer you free web hosting in some instances.  Finally, if you want a formal and superb authentic learning experience for obtaining knowledge about Moodle, check out Integrating Technology for some great opportunities to learn.

All the best to you!
