Realise the value of your Moodle LMS

19 March 2021 by Catalyst

Want to realise the value of your Moodle LMS? Moodle is a world-class, highly flexible, open source online learning management system (LMS) that is free to access and use. However, its true flexibility and value (particularly versus proprietary LMS) can be realised by leveraging the expertise of a Moodle Certified Partner.

Moodle partner services 

Moodle certified partners offer a range of IT services to support organisations that use Moodle LMS: 

Hosting / Fully Managed Service

Having a reliable, high availability Enterprise LMS is paramount to supporting an online community of students and educators. Fully managed cloud hosting provides the peace of mind that your LMS has the load capacity to flex with the growing requirements of your business. Your Moodle should be an education instrument, not a technical responsibility.

Having all your applications connected means that data from one system can be accessed by another one, to achieve streamlined communication across internal and external functions and audiences.

Automated provisioning of students and enrolments as well as best practice Single Sign On (SSO) across your education appliction suites is the expectation for your student cohort.

Moodle certified partners have tried and tested knowledge of the architectural principals required to integrate Moodle with your other core applications.  

Optimisation, Extensions and Customisation 

Moodle was built to be optimised, extended and customised. The “M” in Moodle stands for “Modular.” This is what gives you the power and freedom to make Moodle do anything you need.

Open source software is widely regarded as providing organisations the freedom to innovate, as it gives free access to the source code. What this means is that expert partners, like Catalyst, can deliver the Moodle LMS that you need to help you achieve your organisation’s goals.
