Moodle Cloud Overview and Signup Tutorial for MoodleCloud

An overview and signup of the MoodleCloud LMS service. Moodle launched Moodle Cloud, which allows you to deploy a Moodle LMS for free without installation or hosting fees. It's easy to set up and only takes a few minutes. This is great news for people that want to dive into eLearning but don’t have a large budget. It's easy to set up, create courses and have students start learning.

Jeff Long shares an overview of why Moodle offers Moodle Cloud and
the pros and cons of using the service.

Reasons why Moodle created Moodle Cloud:
- Not everyone is tech savvy and wants and easy way to create an LMS
- While many pieces of Moodle are easy, installing software on a server, managing it, upgrades and maintenance aren’t for everyone
- This is geared towards small schools, companies or entrepreneurs that have small courses with a small audience with no budget
- They update the software for you to the latest version which allows all the safety security patches, features and flexibility available
- It’s responsive out of the box
- It includes a free version of BigBlueButton their solution for full online conferencing, including video, audio, whiteboards and desktop sharing.

What Moodle Cloud Includes:
- 50 users maximum
- 200Mb disk space
- But, you can host your large files with Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud or others
- You can host your videos with Youtube and it will automatically embed
- Core themes and plugins only
- One site per phone number
- In MoodleCloud the free BigBlueButton sessions are limited to 6 people, with no recordings, but we hope you’ll find this perfect for small classes and even study groups. You can add a conferencing session to your course just like any other class activity.
