Our Edflex plugin is compatible with Moodle version 4 and above
Functional Overview
The Edflex Moodle plugin allows you to integrate the best of Edflex learning content directly into your Moodle LMS.
With this plugin, learners can access curated courses, MOOCs, articles, podcasts, and videos in their course without leaving Moodle.
Administrators can easily configure the plugin and manage access to content based on their Edflex subscription.

Benefits for Learning Team (Admins)
-
Seamless content integration: Effortlessly browse the entire Edflex catalog from within Moodle and add any resource (videos, podcasts, articles, interactive courses, and more) as an activity in your Moodle courses.
đź’ˇBy default we only display the first 50 categories of the portal in the research drop-down list, but you can type words to look for more.
-
- Automated activity synchronization: Keep track of learner progress with automatic updates. When a user completes an Edflex resource, the activity is marked as complete in Moodle, ensuring accurate reporting and a seamless user experience.
-
Monitor usage via the multiple Moodle reports (score, progress, completion and all users time spent).
- Within the course under Activities section
- Within the course under Reports section and Activity report
- Or within the activity section and the Reports tab
- Or under the multiple customized reports possibilities on Moodle
đź’ˇIf a content is removed from the catalog, it will be removed from Moodle as well as the activity. It remains only in Edflex environment.
-
