What the buyer wants
Within the framework of its activities to promote scientific exchange, the DAAD is increasingly involved in supporting and/or promoting scientific exchange. Creating digital and digitally supported offerings. --- Based on the project "Dhoch3 / DaF study modules", a Moodle platform has emerged, which is now also used by other offices in the company (https://moodle.daad.de/).
The DAAD currently operates four areas on the Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle: Dhoch3 (S14), Fachlektoren Supervision (S14), iDA (S23) and VORsprung (S01). --- These offers differ significantly in terms of content, target groups, language (German/English) and technical specifics, but all use the same infrastructure of the already set up Moodle platform.
The technical support and further development of this platform, the user administration in the individual categories (including monitoring and evaluation) as well as the training and advice of the DAAD and the various user groups are central components of the framework contract to be awarded. --- The DAAD uses a cloud server infrastructure certified according to European data protection guidelines for hosting the Moodle platform.
Linux (Ubuntu LTS), Apache2, MySQL and PHP are installed on the servers and are virtualized using VMWare. The web hosting itself is not part of this tender. Moodle is currently in operation in version 4.5.12; in 2027, an upgrade to version 5 is planned in the first half of the year. --- Details are given in the specifications in Appendix 02 of the procurement documents
