BALTIMORE, Md. October 19, 2009 ― Moodlerooms, Inc. today announced a joint and exclusive partnership to provide higher education with a fully supported, reliable and secure intelligent learning platform. The intelligent learning platform combines Moodlerooms learning management platform with Datatel’s Colleague® enterprise resource planning system. This ground-breaking integration between an enterprise resource planning system and teaching and learning tools will provide colleges and universities greater value, lower total cost of ownership, reliable services and the benefits of tested open source. Faculty and staff will also have comprehensive access to their administrative, enrollment, curriculum, financial and learning assessment data which can provide institutions with a complete, 360-degree view of their students.
Together, the Datatel-Moodlerooms offering will provide a more cost-effective and powerful choice over traditional proprietary learning systems. Datatel offers colleges and universities best-of-class performance and operational management with their Colleague®, workflow, portal and reporting systems. The addition of Teaching and Learning connects Datatel’s solutions with many new functions, including content management, learning assessment, grade book and course conversion from existing learning management systems. Universities and colleges will receive this additional functionality in Moodlerooms’ reliable and secure environment with Datatel’s highly reputable service and support.
As the leading provider of a functional, reliable and affordable enterprise learning management platform (LMP) with open-source Moodle at its core, Moodlerooms gives campuses the ability to foster an experience of discovery. The connection with Datatel’s enterprise resource planning system and the recently announced addition of the EQUELLA digital repository will provide campuses with a full integration between learning management and critical components so they can create a next-generation learning architecture.
“Our clients, and other education leaders, speak fervently about their desire for a powerful teaching and learning solution that is more affordable and fully integrates with their administrative system of record,” said Datatel President and CEO, John Speer. “Datatel has clearly heard this strong message and the result is a Datatel-Moodlerooms solution that will advance their educational mission at a lower price point to what is now available in the market.”
“We were impressed with the commitment Datatel has to the education community and confident our partnership will provide institutions with industry leading support and reliability,” says Moodlerooms Vice President of Sales and Marketing Joe McAvoy.
“The fully-integrated connection between an open learning management platform and an enterprise resource planning system is long overdue,” adds Moodlerooms CEO Martin Knott. “This partnership will empower academia to make data-driven decisions that impact their success. We truly believe this platform creates a sustainable learning architecture to extend campuses’ learning management efforts to the global community.”
Datatel and Moodlerooms will furnish more details about the learning system solution at EDUCAUSE 2009, November 3-5, 2009 in Denver, CO. Datatel will be at booth #302 and Moodlerooms will be at booth #123.
