Is Moodle a 'doable' alternative to expensive primary VLEs? Yes, in my opinion.
Moodle is a free source e-learning platform, which allows users to access all kinds of resources (courses), interact with each other, complete tasks that have been set for them and feedback to tutors. In principle is sounds very good.
