What the Doodle is "Moodle"?

Recently I was made aware of "Moodle," which is a
"free, open-source course management system for online learning". I've never used Moodle, and in fact had never even heard of it until about a week or so ago. Have any of you used it before? It is similar to ANGEL or Blackboard or WebCT? Have you had success with it? Would you recommend it? Will I love it as much as I love Zotero? Do tell!

I have not used it, but I have colleagues at MSU who are "anti-ANGEL" who use it frequently. I know very little about it and would not be comfortable posting course materials unless I knew more about how those materials were protected.

My guess is that it's similar to ANGEL, Blackboard, etc.

Personally, I like ANGEL even with the occasional headaches and will continue to use it. I also appreciate the free support for ANGEL provided by MSU, which would not occur with Moodle (but perhaps they offer their own??).
