Moodle HQ has added Element as Certified Integration partner to boost the communication options in Moodle LMS. Element is a secure and sovereign communication platform tailored for the educational sector.
Element is a combined messenger and collaboration tool – including voice and video calls. Element can be entirely self-hosted or delivered as a hosted service, with the institution maintaining digital sovereignty. This flexibility allows institutions to maintain digital sovereignty and secure communications, which is essential for today’s educational landscape.
In an announcement, Moodle HQ team shared the features of Element Integration with Moodle as:
- User-friendly interface: Element offers a seamless messaging and collaboration experience with intuitive voice and video features, optimised for both mobile and desktop usage.
- Privacy-centric design: With end-to-end encryption, Element prioritises confidential, privacy-respecting conversations, ensuring a secure digital environment for learners and educators.
- Complete organisational control: The platform provides robust admin control, allowing institutions to manage ID and access, audit, and moderate with ease, ensuring a structured and safe learning space.
- Internal and external communication flexibility: Whether for internal use or connecting with external entities like other schools or parents, Element offers versatile federation options.
- Open source and built on the open Matrix protocol: Committed to open-source principles, Element is built on the Matrix standard, fostering open, interoperable real-time communications.
Amandine Le Pape, COO, Element, said:
Consider Element as a data-sovereign alternative to WhatsApp, but with the comprehensive oversight and control typical of a corporate email system. It’s user-friendly, engaging, and highly adaptable. An organisation can precisely tailor how Element is utilised by staff and students and decide whether to expand into a private federation that includes trusted third parties like parents, guardians, other schools, or partners
