I'm with a small private high school and we needed to control expenses and couldn't afford a standard website with a nonfaculty webmaster. I was a little familar with Moodle and suggested that we try Moodle for our school website since I was so happy with it for my library website. Then I found Key to School and asked if that would be within their vision for the site. I was so happy that they answered "yes"! So we are off and running to get the new Moodle based website up and running before next school year. Thanks Key to School for making it possible for us to have a lovely website in these hard economic times!

I have been using Moodle for 6+ years. By far my biggest irritation with Moodle was how S-L-O-W it felt (given the servers I had access to). One strategy that I used in order to deal with this frustrating experience was to set Moodle up on my local hard drive (via MAMP) and then experiment and set-up my courses there. Eventually however, I would have to (slowly) upload my materials to the production server so that my students could access them - and they too were often frustrated by this Moodle experience.

With KeyToSchool this is no longer necessary . Clearly, KTS have optimized their servers to run Moodle and they must also have a very high speed Internet connection as I find Moodle's response time using their service to be almost as fast as running Moodle on my local hard drive. This is amazing and has completely changed my experience with Moodle. I could always see the potential of Moodle but using it felt clunky and tedious - this is now not the case as windows pop open, screens refresh almost instantly, uploads of materials are quick etc.

Running Moodle via KeyToSchool demonstrates how well this wonderful software can run given the right resources.

I am brand new to Moodle so I still cannot quite believe my luck in receiving the gift of Key to School. Jai is obviously highly motivated to make this an exceptional service. Having been brought up to believe you don't get anything for nothing, I do get a little nervous about that..................but long may it last.

A mere thank you is not enough to express my gratitude to you and your organization for making Moodle a realistic option for districts with a tight budget and small staff. I appreciate all that you do! Cathryn

I am very happy because I find people looking to change the world. It may seem stupid what I said. Not so. How long look at moodle install a free server? But sometimes I fear. Because it is free. Moodle that my school can go. Today in the morning, some things did not work. But it solved. Thank you. Now you have to work. Maximize the benefits to Moodle. Thank you.

Greetings, my name is Jennie and I have been Working with Moodle since July 2008. Presently, I am with a hosting company that is doing something that I do not agree with and I have been seeking new host to take their place. I am aware that KeyToSchool is not participating in the event that my soon to be previous host was and is doing. Stumbling upon KeyToSchool was and is a blessing as I have still to learn a few lessons about Moodle including a smooth domain transfer. Learning at nearly 50 years of age has been a challenge and very rewarding. I am just very grateful to have been introduced to Moodle while participating as a Volunteer last year with a particular NPO. Moodle has been a great teacher and its lessons well exceed the realm of mere programming or technology. Thank you ...

Wow! This is an excellent service you guys are offering. I have another moodle which I pay to have hosted on a shared server but it is soooo slow! I couldn't believe how good this service is...and FREE too!!! I have had problems using chat rooms with my other host but I have had no such problems with KTS...it rocks!

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!

I'm with a public high school here in the Philippines and I had a seminar on moodle last year. Our seminar was just about the course creator side of moodle. We were not taught how to install a Moodle server. So, when I came across your site last May, I was head over heels because keytoschool was the perfect solution to my dilemma then. And so when I finally registered to your wonderful site, I was very impressed at how easy it really was to have my Moodle classroom via keytoschool. All the things that you mentioned in your homepage really rings true to all educators around the world who just wants to produce an e-classroom without the hassles of server administration and the like ... Thank you, keytoschool .. YOU ARE, INDEED, A HEAVEN-SENT TO ALL OF US ...

I am very satisfied with your Moodle hosting services; thank you! I am putting together courses fro home schoolers and your hostin allows me to do this easily and offer the courses to a Global audience.

Now.........how about more themes, please....

Thanks so much!
