Moodle 4.0

Enhanced UI and Theme

On-site Hosting

Deepening our understanding of how to govern more effectively and legitimately through technology.

Enabling social and personalised learning in Moodle 4

The GovLab is an operations research centre based at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering, founded in 2012. Its mission is to provide innovative solutions that improve the ability of institutions — including governments — to work more openly and efficiently through the use of modern technologies, make better decisions and solve public problems.

While GovLab had some e-learning experience, having already delivered the Solving Public Problems program to thousands of learners in 80 countries, they had identified a number of areas for improvement. Following a tender process, they appointed Titus to work on a new solution which would better address program engagement, social learning, and credentialing in partnership with Northeastern University, along with more detailed profiling of learner preferences and advanced platform analytics, among other goals.

Moodle 4.0—improving engagement and mobile accessibility.

Titus delivered a Moodle 4.0 LMS implementation complete with a purpose-built UX-friendly theme, customised to address GovLab’s specific requirements.

Moodle 4.0 implementation

Titus proposed and demonstrated Moodle 4.0 as the best-in-class solution to meet the specific needs laid out in the initial RfP published by GovLab and the detailed requirements captured during the initial consultancy period.

Built-in support for collaborative and social learning techniques, SCORM compatibility to allow the import of content packages, and native functionality for compliance and certifications were among the key factors that led GovLab to select Moodle as its preferred platform.

Custom theme for enhanced UX

A key aim of the project was to improve learner engagement rates — prior to working with Titus, GovLab had recorded course completions of only 1%.

Titus implemented a custom Moodle theme, designed in-house based on usability and UXD best practices, to simplify onboarding and reduce barriers to entry, as well as training the GovLab team in using Moodle’s analytics and reporting tools to identify inactive learners at risk of dropping out.

Self-hosted solution

As GovLab already had a suitable hosting environment in place, Titus installed the new Moodle 4.0 platform on their servers, while maintaining remote management access.

This allows Titus to monitor, update and optimise the platform as required, without the involvement of GovLab admin staff, resulting in a seamless user experience.
