Abstract
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Sultan Qaboos University adopts the system of uniform testing and grading for all its multi-section courses. Moodle is used as a Course Management System. Courses such as pre-calculus have as many as 20 to 25 sections of 40 to 45 students per section per semester. Handling all of these sections and students constitute a real challenge. We will explore how we handled the situation. In particular we will shed light on the pros and cons of running a management system for such large population of students and instructors alike. Furthermore we will discuss the use of mathematical tools such as graphing devices, dynamic HTML and simple computer algebra system embedded in Moodle to enhance the understanding of mathematics and make it fun for students to learn and explore new concepts.
