If you are leading the search for a learning management system, you probably already know what one does. The harder part starts when the proposal leaves L&D. Finance wants to know what the platform will cost every year, beyond year one. IT and your data...
On the 5th of October 2026, Moodle LMS 5.0 reaches the end of its security support. Moodle Workplace 5.0 follows a day later, on 6 October. Moodle 5.0.11, released on 5 October, is the final update the 5.0 branch will receive. So what does this...
Ask what Moodle Workplace costs, and you will usually get an answer about licensing. It is a fair answer to the question asked, and it describes the smaller half of what you are buying. And while it's the licence that appears on an invoice, the larger...
