Navitas has recently developed and launched ‘Navitas Core Moodle’ (NCM) . This learning technology product is not only a recent version, it also means that we will be undertaking a continual process of upgrades and new functionality, to ensure that Navitas learning environments keep pace with student, teacher and partner expectations.
NCM has adopted the ‘core, common, customised’ approach, which means that we recognise the differences across our businesses but also we can take advantage of common and core requirements.
Click through to find out more about Navitas Core Moodle and a sneak peek at the features and functionality that are on the drawing board, such as analytics and dashboards and interactive content.

Current situation
Navitas mostly uses Moodle as its LMS platform. Some of the SAE operations use the Canvas Platform
Up until now, the strategy and management of LMS systems has been relatively devolved and we’ve been managing many different installations and versions
With the creation of Navitas L&T Services, we have had the opportunity to develop a ‘Core Moodle Product’. This approach has a few important benefits……
