Moodle Workplace

Open-source LMS leader with corporate Moodle Workplace tier.

By Moodle Pty Ltd · Founded 2002 · Perth, Australia · private

Moodle Workplace is the corporate tier of Moodle, the world's most-deployed open-source LMS. Moodle (the open-source project) was founded 2002 in Perth. Moodle Workplace launched 2019 as the corporate-focused commercial tier. Strengths: open-source flexibility (Apache 2.0 with commercial Workplace overlay), self-hostable for regulated industries, lowest TCO at scale, and largest LMS installed base globally (300M+ Moodle learners worldwide). Best fit for regulated industries, education sector, and organizations wanting self-hosted control. Trade-offs: not a polished commercial product (engineering-leaning), customer support varies by partner, and feature depth in Workplace tier still maturing relative to Cornerstone.
