Being free to download, modify and share, Moodle is the ultimate expression of the values that unite our community of developers, administrators, educators, and learners.
Moodle helps empower educators in two thirds of universities and thousands of organisations worldwide with open-source technology.
To uphold this commitment to current and future users of Moodle, we follow the ‘four freedoms’ that traditionally define the ‘open source’ way:
- The freedom to run Moodle LMS as you wish, for any purpose.
- The freedom to study how Moodle LMS works and change it as you wish.
- The freedom to redistribute copies of Moodle LMS so you can help others.
- The freedom to distribute copies of your Moodle LMS versions for the benefit of all.
“One of the key drivers of Moodle as a company is that we want to make learning accessible to everyone.” Brett Dalton, Head of Educational Solutions at Moodle.
Moodle has an ongoing commitment to accessibility. We aim to break barriers and level up the online education field for those with disabilities and need for assistive technologies.
For all Moodle LMS releases, the team works diligently to ensure that new features cater to individuals with disabilities as well those from diverse social and cultural backgrounds. The Moodle Community adheres to established best practices when building new code in Moodle LMS.
Utilise in-built Brickfield Accessibility Starter Toolkit and Atto Text editor to automatically check courses and content for accessibility. Translate your courses into more than 150 languages.
Access content anytime and anywhere with the Moodle App. Submit activities and assignments on the go or offline.
A defining characteristic of Moodle’s open-source values is the pledge to build a secure learning management system that protects the privacy and security of users’ data.
Proprietary software with its hidden codes can have bugs exploited. With Moodle, its open-source community of developers and users constantly monitors the source code and collaborates to make it more secure through open processes.
Moodle is GDPR compliant and adheres to local privacy legislation.
Moodle is the world’s most popular LMS, utilised by the military, banking, and other high-security environments.
Moodle uses Bugcrowd to monitor, detect and fix any software bugs, to minimise software vulnerability and security breaches. Moodle bug fixes are reported via the global CVE network and applied to past supported releases to ensure they reach as many sites as possible.
Bugcrowd also enables global security researchers to test the Moodle platform continuously and submit issues through our Vulnerability Disclosure Program.
Your LMS should be as unique as your organisation. Utilise over 2,000 tested and verified open-source plugins to extend your platform’s capability.
