Moodle is a very nice tool for online pedagogic usage. It's a free, Open Source software package for helping educators create effective online learning communities.


"You can download and use it on any computer you have handy (including webhosts), yet it can scale from a single-teacher site to a 50,000-student University. This site itself is created using Moodle, so check out the Moodle Demonstration Courses or read the latest Moodle Buzz".
"Moodle has a large and diverse user community with over 150,000 registered users on this site alone, speaking over 75 languages in over 160 countries (we have more statistics here). The best place to start is Using Moodle, which is where the main international discussions are held in English, but we have a variety of groups discussing other topics and in other languages."
It has lots of plugins and modules, for ex.: AIM, translator, analog clock block, audio recorder to making mp3 files, and all. And it has very nice themes to make the learning more entertaining.
