Padauk Classroom is thrilled to announce an opportunity for community schools and learning centers in Myanmar to apply for our LMS Support Program. As part of our mission to enhance digital learning accessibility, we will be setting up three Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) platforms for three selected community schools/centers. Each school will receive free LMS infrastructure access for two years, along with ongoing technical support and training to ensure smooth integration and usage.

Why LMS?

A Learning Management System (LMS) is a digital platform that allows educational institutions to deliver, manage, and track learning activities efficiently. Moodle LMS, an open-source and widely used platform, enables schools to offer flexible, accessible, and interactive online education. By adopting Moodle LMS, schools and learning centers can:

• Overcome geographical limitations and reach students in remote areas.
• Ensure continuity of education despite external disruptions.
• Provide structured courses with multimedia content, quizzes, and interactive activities.
• Facilitate blended learning by combining in-person and online teaching methods.
• Enhance collaboration between students and educators through discussion forums, messaging, and assignment submissions.
• Build a sustainable digital education ecosystem that grows beyond the project duration.
