Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Moodle LMS from South African businesses and institutions.

What is Moodle and is it suitable for South African businesses?

Moodle is the world's most widely used open-source Learning Management System (LMS). It is ideal for South African businesses, training providers, and educational institutions that need a fully customisable, self-hosted e-learning platform without recurring licence fees. Openbyte deploys and manages Moodle for organisations in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and beyond.

How does self-hosted Moodle differ from Moodle Cloud?

Self-hosted Moodle runs on your own server infrastructure, giving you full control over your data, customisation, and integrations. There are no per-user fees and no data leaving your environment. Self-hosted solutions are preferred by organisations with POPIA compliance obligations or specific data residency requirements in South Africa.

Is Moodle compliant with South Africa's POPIA legislation?

Moodle itself is POPIA-compatible when deployed and configured correctly. We ensure your Moodle environment follows POPIA compliance best practices — including data minimisation, access controls, encryption, and audit trails — so your learner data is handled lawfully.

Can Moodle integrate with our existing HR or SSO system?

Yes. Moodle supports LDAP, Active Directory, SAML, and OpenID Connect for single sign-on. We configure authentication integrations so your staff log in to Moodle using their existing corporate credentials — no separate account management required.

What happens to our Moodle data if the server fails?

We protect every Moodle deployment with automated backup solutions covering the database, course files, and configuration. Backups are scheduled daily and stored off-site. In the event of a server failure, we restore your environment with minimal data loss and downtime.
