Yes. Information that we want to know are all found in the internet because of the free educational resources you've mentioned.
For a better research, which can help us in school, let's take advantage of the same.
Great!

Moodle is a free learning management system that enables you to create powerful, flexible, and engaging online learning experiences. I use the phrase "online learning experiences" instead of "online courses" deliberately. The phrase "online course" often connotes a sequential series of web pages, some images, maybe a few animations, and a quiz put online. There might be some email or bulletin board communication between the teacher and students. However, online learning can be much more engaging than that.
To know more you can read the book http://moodlebook.packtpub.com/
Here is a sample chapter:
Chapter 1: Introduction
Who is This Book For?
A Plan for Creating Your Learning Site
Step-By-Step: Using Each Chapter
Step 1: Learn About the Moodle Experience (Chapter 1)
Step 2: Install and Configure Moodle (Chapter 2)
Step 3: Create the Framework for Your Learning Site (Chapter 3)
Step 4: Add Basic Course Material (Chapter 4)
Step 5: Make Your Courses Interactive (Chapter 5)
Step 6: Make Your Course Social (Chapter 6)
Step 7: Create a Welcome for New and Existing Students (Chapter 7)
Step 8: Use Teacher's Tools to Deliver and Administer Courses (Chapter 8)
Step 9: Extend Moodle (Chapter 9)

Chapter 2: Installing and Configuring Moodle
The title of this chapter makes it sound as if it applies only to the person who installs Moodle. If your system administrator or webmaster has installed Moodle for you, you might be tempted to skip this chapter. Don't!
Many of the configuration choices that are made during the installation process affect the student and teacher experience in Moodle. These are found on the Variables and Site Settings pages, which will be covered later in this chapter. This chapter's focus is on helping you create the user experience you want by making the right configuration choices. While someone else may have installed Moodle and made these configuration choices for you, you can always go back and change them.
