About IOMAD

What is IOMAD?

Put simply, IOMAD is a suite of plugins built on top of the Moodle software to provide multi-tenancy functionality, with devolved course and user management capabilities per-tenant.

Where can I get IOMAD?

You can download the latest code via the IOMAD Github repository. We recommend having your site under Git control, as this makes the upgrade process much easier. But, you can download the package as a zip file and install it that way if you prefer. You can find the IOMAD installation guide here.

How much does it cost?

IOMAD is (and always will be) free and open-source. All development is under GPL.

Who maintains IOMAD?

Do you offer commercial support for IOMAD?
