Launch a secure, scalable Moodle environment in minutes, optimized for education, training, and 24/7 uptime

As online education and remote training continue to grow across industries, organizations need reliable learning platforms that are customizable, cost-effective, and secure. Moodle, the world’s most popular open-source learning management system (LMS) is the platform of choice for universities, schools, government institutions, and training providers worldwide.

But deploying Moodle at scale isn’t always simple. Managing PHP versions, configuring databases, enabling SSL, and optimizing performance can delay your project and introduce security risks.

That’s why Meetrix offers a fully configured Moodle deployment on AWS, purpose-built for fast launch, secure operation, and supported by a 24/7 expert team.

What Is Moodle?

Moodle is a powerful, open-source learning platform that enables educators to build custom digital classrooms. It supports:

Course creation and management
Role-based user access (students, teachers, admins)
Multimedia lesson delivery
Quizzes, forums, and collaborative tools
Integration with SCORM, LTI, H5P, and external tools
Learning analytics and reporting

Moodle is used by over 300 million users in 240+ countries, making it one of the most trusted LMS platforms in the world.
