Moodle Hosting Solution for Islington Borough Council Adult and Community Learning
Case Studies >> Moodle
Virtual Learning Environment
Islington Borough Council’s Adult and Community Learning department recognised the need for an online learning platform to support their constituents. Knowing our reputation for delivering cost-effective and successful local authority solutions, they reached out to Terrabase for support.
We provided a tailored Moodle hosting package and assisted Islington in designing a user-friendly layout. We developed a customised template and continue to offer technical maintenance and ongoing support for the entire system.
By handling the technical aspects, we enable Islington’s educators to focus on creating engaging learning resources using the wide range of activities and media available.


A Reliable and Flexible Solution
Our managed Moodle hosting has been particularly valuable, especially during the COVID crisis, when online learning became essential.
- Seamless Integration:
Moodle plug-ins are available for almost any imaginable requirement. We provide expert advice and integration services upon request.
User-Friendly Support for Staff
Many managers and educators do not have specialised IT knowledge—nor should they need to. Our approach ensures that staff receive accessible and friendly support to help them make the most of the platform’s capabilities.
We not only host the system but also provide hands-on guidance, ensuring that when staff encounter challenges, we can quickly assist them.
Empowering Learning & Development
With the COVID crisis limiting in-person tuition, the demand for re-skilling and upskilling has never been greater. This solution has provided an invaluable alternative to face-to-face teaching, allowing Islington to support its workforce in developing new skills.
Beyond crisis response, the platform has demonstrated the long-term benefits of virtual learning, improving accessibility, flexibility, and efficiency in education delivery.
- Building Digital Teaching Skills:
Islington staff have rapidly expanded their Moodle expertise, creating a growing library of engaging resources that will support learners for years to come. The system also allows for continual refinement and the integration of new media and digital teaching methods.

A Secure and Scalable Learning Platform
Terrabase ensures that Islington’s Moodle system remains up-to-date, secure, and fully optimised for long-term success.
Our hosting solution has opened up new opportunities for Islington Borough Council to deliver high-quality adult education, proving especially valuable during the shift towards digital learning. As a result, the council is now experiencing the full benefits of an efficient and effective virtual learning environment.
