Federal Training Programs.
Fully Managed LMS.
Zero Infrastructure Burden.
Your prime contract requires a secure, FISMA-compliant learning management system for federal workforce training. GovDataHosting delivers a fully managed Moodle platform — from FedRAMP-authorized infrastructure to monthly core and plugin patching — so your team focuses on course delivery, not server operations.

Running Federal Training Programs Is Your Mission. Managing the LMS Infrastructure Shouldn't Be.
Federal training contracts demand more than a learning platform. They require a FISMA-authorized, Section 508-compliant, always-available LMS that can handle thousands of concurrent learners and never miss a monthly security patch. That's GDH's responsibility, not yours.
-
Federal Training Events Demand High Availability
Mandatory annual compliance training, DoD role-based training, and new-hire onboarding create peak concurrency spikes. Without auto-scaling infrastructure, LMS outages during training windows directly impact contract performance metrics.
-
FISMA Authorization Is Required for Learner Data
Federal LMS platforms store learner PII, training completion records, and assessment data — making FISMA authorization a legal requirement, not optional. Commercial Moodle hosting fails this standard entirely.
-
Section 508 Accessibility Is a Contract Requirement
Federal training platforms must meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards. Platform updates can break accessibility compliance — making managed, tested patching cycles essential for contract adherence.
📌 Put GDH's managed Moodle platform directly in your subcontract hosting line — and let your instructional designers, curriculum developers, and training coordinators focus on learning outcomes.
We Manage Everything From the Server to the LMS Layer
Your instructional designers and training coordinators own the courses, assessments, and learner management. GovDataHosting owns every technical layer beneath the Moodle interface.

Built for Federal Training Requirements
GDH's managed Moodle platform is configured to meet the specific technical and accessibility standards required for federal workforce training contracts.
SCORM 1.2 & 2004
Full SCORM compatibility for existing federal courseware — import, track, and report completion data across all SCORM-compliant content packages.
xAPI (Tin Can)
Modern experience tracking with xAPI/LRS integration — capturing learning data beyond SCORM for mobile, simulation, and blended federal training programs.
LTI 1.3
Learning Tools Interoperability — connect federal third-party tools, virtual labs, and external content providers directly into your Moodle environment.
Section 508 / WCAG 2.1 AA
Accessibility compliance validated with every patch cycle — ensuring your federal training platform remains accessible to all learners including those with disabilities.
SSO / Identity Federation
SAML 2.0 and OAuth 2.0 SSO integration — connecting Moodle to agency Active Directory, PIV/CAC authentication, and federal identity providers.
Reporting & Analytics
Federal-grade training completion reporting, FISMA compliance training tracking, and role-based performance dashboards for program managers and ISSOs.
Monthly Patching That Doesn't Break Your Courses
LMS platform patching has a unique risk: a bad update can break SCORM players, break accessibility features, or reset learner completion data. GDH's patch program tests every update against your specific course inventory before touching production.
Moodle Security Release Monitoring
We track Moodle HQ's monthly security releases and plugin advisories — identifying applicable patches for your specific Moodle version and installed plugin set within hours of publication.
ContinuousLMS-Specific Staging Tests
Patches deploy to a full staging mirror including your actual SCORM packages, xAPI activities, and accessibility features — verifying no regressions before production deployment.
SCORM + 508 TestedProduction Deployment (Off-Peak)
Validated patches deploy during your LMS's lowest-traffic window — with real-time monitoring and instant rollback if any learner-facing issue is detected post-deployment.
Monthly CyclePatch Documentation for FISMA/ATO
Every patch is logged as ATO evidence — satisfying SI-2 flaw remediation tracking and ConMon patch status reporting requirements automatically.
