Custom Development

Customization of Moodle Interoperability

Every company has its own complexity in structure and operation, and often requires specialized applications tailored to specific needs. The development of custom applications provides the solution to such needs.

Experience & Expertise

As an official Moodle Partner, Digitech possesses unique expertise in the development and customization of the Moodle LMS. We have developed more than 400 plugins for organizations in Greece and abroad, covering different needs: from educational activities and integrations with third-party systems to special reports, e-commerce extensions, and mobile applications.
This experience enables us to have in-depth knowledge of the Moodle ecosystem and to deliver solutions that are proven to be functional, scalable, and easily maintainable.

 

Development Method

We strictly follow the official Moodle HQ guidelines for the development of all plugins, starting from analysis and mockups to complete documentation and training. We use the skeleton generator (MDK or tool_pluginskel), integrate mobile support, execute a full CI/CD pipeline with Docker and moodle-plugin-ci, ensure strict code style and accessibility, while also providing ongoing upgrades, security, and efficiency. All of the above are accompanied by professional documentation, UI mockups, and collaboration with Moodle HQ, so that your solution is not only functional but also sustainable in the long term.

Detailed Development Workflow

  • Requirements Analysis: Recording functional and technical needs, in collaboration with the client.

  • Mockups & UX: Creation of mockups that reflect the user experience of the plugin.

  • Development: Use of the Moodle Plugin Skeleton Generator (MDK or tool_pluginskel) and adherence to Moodle Coding Standards.

  • Testing & QA: Extensive testing with Moodle Plugin CI, Docker environments, accessibility checks, and performance tests.

  • CI/CD: Automated integration and delivery of new versions through pipelines that check compatibility, security, and functionality.

  • Documentation: Detailed documentation, screenshots, installation, and usage instructions.

  • Review & Approval: All plugins comply with the Moodle HQ Plugin Checklist.
