Today, online office automation is an integral part of the digital working environment for teachers and learners. In many schools, Moodle remains one of the most used platforms for structuring educational pathways and organising exchanges. To meet growing needs for document editing, collaborative work and ease of use, the ONLYOFFICE suite offers several modules designed specifically for seamless integration into Moodle.

Gradual integration
ONLYOFFICE develops connectors to use its tools directly in Moodle. These integrations have been gradually enriched to adapt to different pedagogical uses.
One of the functionalities is the Assign Submission Plugin, which allows students to submit an assignment as an office document (text, spreadsheet, presentation, PDF) and teachers to open, annotate and correct it directly in the Moodle interface, without format conversion or download.
Another plugin, more focused on collaboration, allows users to create, edit and comment on the same document in real time. This tool lends itself well to group work or interdisciplinary projects, especially in secondary and higher education.
Finally, the New DocSpace Module, recently launched, introduces a shared workroom approach. Teachers can deposit documents accessible to an entire class or to small groups, with differentiated rights: consultation, modification, commentary. This system facilitates the management of educational resources and avoids back and forth between several tools.
A solution chosen on the ground
Some institutions have already integrated this solution into their day-to-day operations. This is the case of the Sacré-Cœur High School in Taravao, French Polynesia, which uses both Moodle and ONLYOFFICE in a self-hosted environment. This choice allows them to maintain control of their data while offering teachers a tool compatible with the most common office formats.
According to the team in charge of the digital transformation of the institution, the integration of ONLYOFFICE has made it possible to simplify many tasks, including the management of evaluations and online work.
What concrete benefits for teachers and learners?
ONLYOFFICE’s main interest in Moodle is its ability to work directly in DOCX, XLSX and PPTX formats, without altering the content, which limits rendering errors or formatting losses. Teachers can correct a assignment or offer a collaborative activity without leaving Moodle, and students find a familiar interface, close to the software they already know.
For educational institutions looking for a scalable, secure and professional quality documentary collaboration, ONLYOFFICE offers an exclusive reduction of 30 % on-site solutions, making it easier for institutions of all sizes to access professional functionalities at a lower cost.
