Moodle LMS supports course creation, content management, collaboration and communication tools, assessment and feedback features, progress tracking and reporting, and activity modules. It integrates with video conferencing, authentication, academic integrity tools and content tools through Certified Integrations, with additional plugins available via the Moodle Marketplace. Accessibility features include WCAG 2.2 AA compliant design, built-in accessibility checks and screen-reader compatibility. AI features are configurable, guided by stated principles covering transparency, data protection and ethical practice. The Moodle App provides online and offline access across devices.

Moodle LMS is aimed at K-12 schools, universities, colleges, academies, institutes and vocational training providers, while Moodle Workplace targets enterprise onboarding, training and compliance.
