Moodle LMS Developer for K-12 Platform

🚀 Project Overview: We are launching a highly visual, self-paced English Language Development platform designed specifically for Kindergarten multilingual students. We need an experienced Moodle developer to install, configure, and customize our production Moodle platform on our VPS web server. The student interface MUST mimic an "ABCmouse-style" experience—text-light, highly visual, clean, and completely free of traditional Moodle administrative clutter. 🎨 Key UI/UX Target (Text-Light ABCmouse Model): 1. Minimal Text Navigation: Replace standard vertical text lists and folder trees with large, colorful graphic tiles and custom icon cards suitable for 5- and 6-year-old early learners. 2. Clutter-Free Student Mode: Use custom CSS/theme rules (`display: none;`) to hide sidebars, footers, top header links, breadcrumbs, user profile blocks, and course administration menus for student roles. 3. Edge-to-Edge Canvas: Ensure embedded activities and H5P modules display full-screen/edge-to-edge so young children focus solely on interactive visuals and audio tasks without lateral menu distraction. 🛠️ Scope of Work: 1. VPS Server Setup: Deploy and optimize a live, production-ready Moodle LMS installation on our VPS web host (including PHP memory limits and background cron tasks). 2. Visual Styling: Install a child-friendly theme (e.g., Moove, Fordson, or Edwiser RemUI) and configure the Tiles course format plugin with visual graphic buttons. 3. De-Clutter Interface: Apply custom CSS and theme permission overrides to strictly enforce a text-light, sidebar-free canvas for student user accounts. 4. Kindergarten Front Page Gateway: Build a public landing page featuring Zia Skies branding and a large, colorful, child-friendly entry button for Kindergarten. 5. Interactive Engine & Voice Setup: Configure Moodle’s native H5P Content Bank and create 1 live sample lesson featuring an H5P "Speak the Words" speech recognition widget locked to English (United States). 6. Gradebook Data Sync: Verify that interactive H5P activity completions and speech scores write directly to the Moodle gradebook. 💰 Fixed-Price Milestone Breakdown ($600 Total): - Milestone 1 ($200): Server setup, theme installation, and custom Kindergarten front-page gateway build. - Milestone 2 ($250): Complete UI de-cluttering (hiding menus/sidebars via custom CSS) and setting up visual tile layouts for a text-light Kindergarten student view. - Milestone 3 ($150): H5P Content Bank configuration, speech recognition setup, and final gradebook verification. 📌 Applicant Screening: To prove you read this entire description, please begin your proposal response with the word "Balloon".
