Moodle is clearly the most popular choice for Learning Management Software (LMS) among educational facilities, but copy protecting content by employing image protect software or PDF protection software could not be more difficult. In fact customizing Moodle for anything out of the ordinary, compared to other Content Management Systems (CMS) could not be more complicated.
As with other CMS such as Drupal, Joomla or WordPress, the customization of web pages to include more than normal media content such as encrypted images or encrypted PDF requires the use of a specially designed module or add-on that can be included in the CMS, thus eliminating the site owner's need for advanced HTML and scripting skills. Without such add-ons, modifying page templates can be a complex task and easily overwritten, causing the loss of those modifications, every time the site owner updates to a new version of CMS core.
But creating plugins and modules for the Moodle CMS is a most difficult task because Moodle is much more complicated than the usual CMS. Moodle is not just a web page management tool and every page used by Moodle becomes part of a learning module, integrated into courses governed by curriculum that is apportioned for study levels, progress checks, periodic examinations and progress tracking.
However ArtistScope maintain a range of plugins for Moodle that simplify the use of their copy protection solutions. Moodle plugins are available for CopySafe Web Protection, CopySafe PDF Protection and CopySafe Video Protection. Not only is their image protect software and PDF protection software the most effective for protecting against all methods of save, copy and print, but they are the only truly "effective" solutions that will prevent PrintScreen and screen capture on web pages.
Once installed the ArtistScope plugins enable tutors to upload, images, PDF or video and add them to web pages for use in lessons and courses, direct from the online page editor provided by the Moodle CMS. The only limitation is that students need to use the ArtisBrowser web browser because all of the popular web browsers abandoned real browser plugin support in favor of simple add-ons that are only suitable for amusement devices like mobile phones. Consequently, they can no longer action at system level which is where real copy protection must be applied.
But that limitation is actually a blessing, especially in the case of closed classrooms that utilize a "safe exam browser", because the ArtisBrowser serves as the most secure web browser ever imagined, in which no web content, data or media can ever be exploited, when so desired.
