Hi,

I am working on Moodle 2.5.5.

I am creating moodle sites for 2 universities of same organizations. Where all courses are same just students are different. I try to explain it by example:

University A University B
Courses Courses
Students (A) Students (B)
 

 

 

 

I install 2 moodle setup on my server : University A and University B

I wish to use one database for both universities : master-database

In this database I wish to insert students for each university separately: mdl_users (A) and mdl_users (B).

Here University A use master-database with mdl_users (A) and  University B use master-database with mdl_users (B).

Is it possible in Moodle?

If yes then please help me how??

I am not a php hard coder and I took time to understand things so please explain it to me

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Aditya

PS: Is it possible to use separate themes for both instances?????

Hi Aditya,

No, it is not possible, but you may want to take a look at the Cohorts feature as it will allow you to create two system wide groups, one for each university. You may also want to read about Multitenant support in Moodle.

You might want to look at CobaltLMS by Eabyas a moodle partner. 

 

That has support for multiple institutions under one Moodle site.

There's also Totara by paradisosolutions.com

And Elis by remote-learner.net

And Iomad from E-Learn Design

Alternatively, there's the VMoodle block.

You should also read the discussion in on MDL-28946 regarding multi-tenancy and moodle.org's stance on this function.

Hi Aditya,

MNet is mostly about sharing resources between Moodle sites, so each site has its own resources, database, etc.

Guillermo,

I have a similar need.  Mostly just for a logo "branding" change need on each front page.  That Multitenant support in Moodle project looks like it was cancelled though.

Hi Jason,

Yes, the project hasn't really taken off, however, maybe one could make do with:

Category themes (Theme settings)

Thanks for all suggestions.

Although I feel moodle must think about this for education institutes who have different offshoots with some same and some different features/courses/users.
