Moodle - How do you like it?

I have been asked to start working with this system to provide some e-learning to undergraduate students taking hospitality courses and I would like to know about other people's experience. Have you used it? Did you like it? Any suggestions?
Thank you

Well, Moodle is really a good tool to build an e-learning platform. I like it.

I know people who have taken college classes using http://www.elluminate.com/ and enjoyed them. Are you thinking about live classes?

I have started using in my upper level Tech class. But..... I am starting small with forums and small assignments.

I'm teaching grade 5 and have explored the possibility of Moodle with my class. I was turned off by the way moodle looks and navigates (for 10 year olds, this is important!). Also, our tech department is very reluctant to add 3rd party applications and so we were restricted from the true possibilities of Moodle.

Instead, I have been making use of Google Apps for schools (http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/edu/index.html) which makes use of Google's tools of gmail, documents, calendar, start page and sites). It is very easy for the kids to use and very effective for a lot of our language learning.
