Abstract

Since 2005-06 Moodle has been used institutionally as an open source e-learning platform both in a blended and face-to-face environment at the Universidad de Extremadura (Spain). It has become an essential tool for accessing material created by teachers. It is also an instrument to reach information and
resources on the Internet. This article shows the conclusions obtained after analysing the effectiveness of Moodle in the context of the English language courses conducted at the Centro Universitario de Mérida in a face-to-face teaching environment (English in Computing, English in Land-Surveying and Technical
English in Industrial Design) and in a blended-learning format (Information and Communication Technologies Applied to the Language Learning and English Online).
