Get Moodle

Our school demo provides entry points to different roles and experiences in Moodle LMS but you can also experiment with an empty site. Both of those sites reset on the hour so anyone can do anything they like there.

Moodle is the world’s most customisable and trusted online learning solution. The heart of our ecosystem is Moodle LMS, the open source learning management system used by hundreds of millions of learners worldwide. Developed in conjunction with our community, Moodle LMS is complemented by Moodle Workplace, Moodle Apps and a network of Certified Service Providers delivering expertise in hosting, customisations, support and training. Read our success stories to learn how people use Moodle to facilitate creating high quality learning environments.

Moodle has also created a variety of ways for educators to learn how to create meaningfully designed online learning environments ranging from courses on Learn Moodle Basics and Moodle Teaching Basics to Moodle Teaching Next Level and the Moodle Educator Certification (MEC) Program. MEC is based on the widely-used and accepted European Framework for the Digital Competence for Educators (DigCompEdu).

Yes, you can host your own Moodle site, you just have to download the latest version and ensure your web server is set up with PHP and a database. Alternatively, you can also host it on our web servers using MoodleCloud or a Moodle Certified Service Provider can deliver expertise in hosting, customisation, support and training.

If you’re technically minded you can download the latest version of Moodle for free. You would prefer, you can obtain a ready-made free trial of a Moodle site for a limited period of time from MoodleCloud.

You can download the free Moodle App, subscribe to the Pro or Premium plan or you can contact us to get started with the Branded Moodle App.

Moodle LMS is globally recognised for its scalability, flexibility, configurability and customisability. These very features and benefits can make it more complex for organisations without the internal know-how to implement or customise for their specific requirements. Our network of Certified Service Providers will transform Moodle into a solution that meets an organisation’s unique needs. Providing expertise in customisations, hosting, support and training, Moodle Certified Service Providers take a lead role in assisting institutions and organisations transition to, or upscale, their Moodle online learning platforms. In addition, Moodle Workplace, the customisable platform transforming workplace learning, is only available via our Certified Service Provider network.

We are focusing on building the most effective Learning Management System (LMS) and so we don’t create courses or content for our users. However, if you need help, Moodle has created a variety of ways for educators to learn how to create meaningfully designed online learning environments ranging from courses on Learn Moodle Basics and Moodle Teaching Basics to Moodle Teaching Next Level and the Moodle Educator Certification (MEC) Program. MEC is based on the widely-used and accepted European Framework for the Digital Competence for Educators (DigCompEdu). Alternatively, please contact a Moodle Certified Service Provider who can assist with course design.

You will find all the needed documentation to get started, to easily configure and to create your courses on Moodle Docs. We also have dedicated community forums focusing on many aspects of setting up and configuring a Moodle site. Providing expertise in customisations, hosting, support and training, Moodle Certified Service Providers can also take a lead role in assisting institutions and organisations transition to, or upscale, their Moodle online learning platforms.
