What is Moodle LMS?
Moodle is the world’s most trusted online learning solution. The heart of the Moodle ecosystem is Moodle LMS, the open source learning management system with inherent security and privacy features used by hundreds of millions of learners worldwide. Developed in conjunction with Moodle’s loyal community, Moodle LMS allows educators in any sector to create safe, accessible, flexible and highly engaging online spaces for their learners. The learning and development functionalities of Moodle LMS has given birth to a range of ancillary Moodle products and services including Moodle Workplace, the customisable platform transforming workplace learning, MoodleCloud hosting solutions and a network of Certified Service Providers delivering expertise in hosting, customisation, support and training. Our vision for a more equitable and accessible approach to education is supported by Moodle Academy, Moodle’s online learning institution and MoodleNet, a place to share and curate open education resources. Collectively, we strive toward our mission to empower educators to improve our world.
Overview of Moodle LMS benefits
Support for all types of online learning
From fully online learning to a blended approach, from self-paced courses to collaborative learning, from school pupils to corporate learning: online learning is different everywhere. And because Moodle is developed by our global community, coming from all sectors and all parts of the world, it supports all types of learning processes and views of online education.
Support learning from any device
With our Moodle App, your learners can access all your content, submit activities and complete assignments from their mobile devices. Mobile notifications help to always keep them in the loop.
Accessibility
We strive to make Moodle inclusive and accessible for ALL. As part of this we perform accessibility audits and develop in line with common accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1). Our integrated text accessibility checking tools help you build courses and content with full support for all learners.
Trust our security
We take security very seriously. As an open source project, we have a large group of people looking at our source code and collaborating on making it more secure through well-established processes. Fixes are reported globally and applied to past releases to make sure they reach as many sites as possible.
Protect your privacy
Our world-leading privacy compliance features allow you to configure your Moodle site to meet your local privacy legislation requirements, including some of the best GDPR compliance on any education platform.
