Poodle
Poodle (Portable Moodle) is a software tool designed to allow for the delivery of Moodle content offline.
Moodle is designed to offer an online environment for learning and collaboration between teachers and students. Many different education institutions have created content for classes and instruction in the Moodle platform. The Poodle is a way to bring some of that content to those who are in low-bandwidth and no-bandwidth areas.
One expected benefit of the Poodle software project is that educational institutes can expand their training to offline students in a format they are familiar with. Learners no longer need to find a computer with an internet connection, but only a computer.
Description
Poodle is a PortableApps based program. It uses Firefox, Portable Edition and a portable web server to deliver an offline Moodle experience. It is primarily designed to be used on a removable writable media (USB flash drive).
