Learning Management System
Moodle LMS
Apjakal IT Solutions implements, hosts, and supports Moodle — the world's most widely used open-source Learning Management System. Trusted by over 300 million learners globally, Moodle delivers engaging online education with zero licensing costs, full customisation, and the reliability your institution demands.
Open Source LMS
What is Moodle?
Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) is an open-source Learning Management System. Created by Martin Dougiamas in 2002, it is now used by over 300 million learners across 250,000+ sites in 243 countries.
Moodle powers everything from small training programmes to large universities with tens of thousands of students. Its open-source nature means there are no per-user licensing fees — institutions only pay for the expertise to implement, configure, and maintain the platform. That is what Apjakal provides. We are not a Moodle reseller or Moodle Certified Partner: we deploy, host and support the free open-source release.

Why Open Source
The Open Source Advantage
Open source doesn't mean unsupported — it means freedom from vendor lock-in, no licensing surprises, and the ability to tailor the platform to your exact needs.
Zero Licensing Fees
No per-seat or per-course charges. Moodle is free to use, forever — you only pay for implementation, hosting, and support.
1,800+ Plugins
Extend Moodle with a massive ecosystem of free plugins: integrations, themes, activity types, authentication methods, and more.
Fully Customisable
White-label the platform with your institution's branding — logo, colours, fonts, and custom themes built to your identity.
Standards Compliant
Supports SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI (Tin Can), IMS LTI, and AICC — connect any e-learning content or external tool.
Data Sovereignty
Self-hosted on your own infrastructure or Apjakal-managed cloud — your data never leaves your control.
Global Community
Backed by a 250,000+ developer and user community. Regular security patches, annual major releases, and long-term support versions.
Platform Capabilities
Everything Your Learners Need
Moodle brings together every tool an instructor needs to deliver effective online education — from content to assessment to collaboration.
Course Creation & Management
Build structured courses with sections, topics, and flexible layouts. Drag-and-drop content ordering, conditional access rules, and course templates for rapid deployment.
Rich Content Delivery
Upload videos, audio, PDFs, PowerPoints, and SCORM/xAPI packages. Embed YouTube, Vimeo, and H5P interactive content. Students access everything from one learning space.
Assessments & Quizzes
Multiple choice, true/false, short answer, matching, drag-and-drop, and essay questions. Timed quizzes, question banks, randomisation, and automated grading.
Assignments & Submissions
Online text, file uploads, and group assignments. Inline annotation tools, rubric-based grading, plagiarism detection integration, and grade feedback directly to learners.
Forums & Collaboration
Discussion forums, wikis, glossaries, and chat rooms. Peer review workshops, group workspaces, and live virtual classroom integration via Zoom or BigBlueButton.
Gradebook & Progress Tracking
Fully configurable gradebook with weighted categories, letter grades, and pass/fail outcomes. Completion tracking, activity reports, and per-learner progress dashboards.
Certificates & Badges
Auto-issue digital certificates and open badges on course completion. Customisable certificate templates with institutional branding, verifiable and shareable by learners.
Mobile Learning
The official Moodle mobile app (iOS & Android) gives learners offline access to course materials, push notifications for deadlines, and full quiz and forum access on any device.
Analytics & Reporting
Learner engagement reports, course completion rates, grade distributions, time-on-task analytics, and instructor dashboards. Export to CSV or integrate with BI tools.
