Built for Moodle users

Sync every Moodle course to AskSia in one click.

Every Moodle site is set up differently: Topics format, Weekly format, Tiles and more. It does not matter. Install the extension and a purple Sync to AskSia button appears on every course in your Course overview. One click brings every resource, assignment, quiz and forum into your AskSia library.

Free to install, first course sync free. Desktop Chrome, Edge, Brave and Arc.

Quick answer

What does AskSia do on Moodle?

AskSia for Moodle is a browser extension that adds a Sync to AskSia button to every course in the Moodle Course overview. It works with any Moodle theme, including Boost, Classic and Tiles. One click reads the course's Resources, Assignments, Quizzes, Forums and Books and copies the readings, slide decks and linked recordings into your AskSia library, with the topic or week structure intact. It is read-only, so it never writes to Moodle and never sees your password. Installing it is free, your first course sync is free, and the full feature set comes with the AskSia A+ plan.

How it works

How to sync Moodle with AskSia

Three steps, about 30 seconds per course. From “Moodle is full of files” to “an AI study assistant across every course”.

Where Moodle runs

Check if your university uses Moodle

Moodle is used at universities in every region, and yours may give it its own name. Here is what the public record shows: a sample of universities with public Moodle guidance, a vendor customer story or a news report, plus the clues that tell you which platform you are on.

  • 161,020registered Moodle sites across 242 countries.Source: moodle.org statistics, 23 September 2026
  • 412 Musers on registered Moodle sites worldwide.Source: moodle.org statistics, 23 September 2026
  • 16%of US and Canadian higher education institutions used Moodle as their primary LMS at the end of 2023.Source: Phil Hill & Associates, State of the LMS market, year-end 2023

What your university may call Moodle

Some universities give Moodle their own name. If your course site uses one of these names, it is Moodle underneath, and the Sync button works the same way.

After you sync

Turn your Moodle courses into answers, notes, flashcards and quizzes

Moodle stays Moodle. AskSia becomes your study assistant. Once your courses are in AskSia, every file is searchable by chat and convertible into the format you study in.

Chat across courses

“Summarise what my six units say about sampling bias, and cite the slides.” Sia answers across every unit you synced.

Get structured Sia Notes

Any synced lecture turns into a Sia Note: cues, content and a one-line summary, ready to review.

Make flashcards from anything

Turn any reading, lecture or chapter into flashcards, with spaced repetition built in.

Quiz yourself before the exam

Generate a timed quiz from the exam scope in your syllabus. Get scored, with explanations cited to your slides.

Get deadline reminders

Sia picks up course end dates and assignment due dates from your LMS and reminds you by email, notification and the web app calendar.

Study plan and reminders

Build a study plan from your Moodle course, with deadline reminders

A plan built from your synced course files, the due dates in Moodle and your actual free time. Tell Sia when the exam is and how long you can study each day, and it orders your synced weeks: the ones you skipped first, then cards and quizzes week by week, then timed practice, with every Moodle deadline marked. Change the inputs and the plan changes with you.

Get deadline reminders by email, notification and calendar

Sia picks up your course end date, assignment due dates and other key dates from your LMS, then reminds you by email, notification and in the web app calendar, so nothing important slips past while you catch up.

Study in the web app, the mobile app or on your Moodle page

Files you sync with the extension land in one AskSia library. Build your study plan from them and follow it in the web app or in the mobile app, or ask Sia a question right on your Moodle page while the course is open.

Privacy and security

Is AskSia safe to use with Panopto?

Yes. Read-only on Panopto. No password shared. Delete anytime. Safe to install before finals.

Read-only on Moodle

FAQ

Moodle and AskSia: frequently asked questions

The questions students ask before installing.

Does AskSia work with Moodle?

Yes. With the AskSia extension installed in Chrome or Edge, a Sync to AskSia button appears on every course in your Moodle Course overview. It works with any Moodle theme and with single sign-on such as Okta, Azure AD, CAS or Shibboleth, because it uses the session you are already logged in to.

How do I know if my university uses Moodle?

Check the university list on this page, or open any course page and look at the address bar and the course menu: a Moodle site has a recognisable address pattern and menu. If you are still unsure, install the extension and open a course. If the Sync to AskSia button appears, the page is supported.

What does AskSia sync from Moodle?

The extension walks Resources, Assignments, Quizzes, Forums and Books. Readings, slide decks and linked Echo360 or Panopto recordings come into your AskSia library with the topic and week structure preserved.

Does AskSia get my LMS password?

No. AskSia never sees, stores or transmits your LMS username or password. The extension uses the browser session you already logged into yourself. If you log out of your LMS, the extension cannot sync until you log back in. Your credentials never leave your browser.

Can the extension change my grades or submit assignments?

No. The extension is read-only. It cannot submit assignments, take quizzes, post in discussions, message lecturers, change grades or modify anything. It does not request write permissions, so write actions are not possible even if there were a bug.

Is my synced data used to train AI?

No. Content synced through the extension is never used to train AI models. Your files are processed only for your own questions, kept private to your account, and never shared or sold.

Can I delete my synced data?

Yes. Open your AskSia library, select a course folder or a single file and click Delete. Deletion is immediate and permanent. Uninstalling the extension stops further syncing but does not delete files you already synced, which you can remove from your library separately.

Is this allowed under my university's policies?

The extension only reads materials you already have access to and writes nothing to your LMS, which is comparable to downloading the same files yourself. Using AskSia to understand material, build study guides, quiz yourself and review lectures is ordinary studying. Submitting AI-generated answers as graded work would breach most academic integrity policies. Rules differ between institutions and courses, so check your syllabus or honour code, and follow your institution's academic integrity policy.

Does it work in Microsoft Edge?

Yes. AskSia is published on the Chrome Web Store and on Microsoft Edge Add-ons, so you can install it in Chrome, Edge, Brave or Arc. It works the same in each browser.

Is the AskSia extension free?

Installing the extension is free, and you do not need a credit card or an AskSia account to install it. Your first course sync is free too, and you can keep asking Sia questions about that course. Syncing more courses and the full feature set come with the AskSia A+ plan.

Does it work on my phone?

The extension runs in desktop browsers. Everything you sync appears in the AskSia web app and mobile app, so you can study from your phone after syncing on a computer.
