The open-source learning management system (LMS) Moodle welcomes the Brain Station 23, a globally known software development company based in Bangladesh, as the latest certified partner to join the Moodle partner network.

“Becoming a Certified Moodle Partner will strengthen our portfolio, and by joining the Moodle Partner Network we can deliver LMS services to people in Bangladesh and around the globe, offering Moodle as the premier LMS solution to our discerning customers,” he added.

Recognising the shift to digital platforms in the pandemic, the COO of the Brain Station 23 said, “The Covid-19 pandemic is changing the business landscape as we know it, leading to a rise in the use of digital media.”

“It is now apparent that digital platforms are essential to ensure education and training continue for educational institutions and business organisations.”

Dr Matthias Hansch, the Brain Station’s partner in Germany, said, “We consider Brain Station 23 to be one of the top global IT outsourcing leaders from Bangladesh and this new partnership with Moodle has opened up a level playing field for Brain Station to enable enterprises with Moodle solutions across the globe.”

Notable projects by the Brain Station 23 include the development of an LMS platform for Pondit, a training institute for professionals.

Brain Station 23 also developed a Moodle powered LMS platform for The Institute of Business Administration (IBA) at Dhaka University. Integrating a Zoom plug-in to the solution, the university was able to transition to an online teaching platform, enabling their students to carry out their education via online classrooms.

CrueSpace, an NGO helping its users to learn Adobe programs, now has an integrated LMS thanks to Brain Station 23.
