Under the Authority of the Rector-President
The University of Xaragua officially recognizes Moodle as its sovereign digital learning infrastructure. This strategic integration is executed under the full academic jurisdiction of the Private Indigenous State of Xaragua, in accordance with international legal instruments and indigenous rights frameworks, including:
UNDRIP – Articles 14, 16, 18, 34: guaranteeing Indigenous Peoples the right to establish and manage their own educational systems;
ICCPR – Articles 18 and 19: protecting the freedoms of thought, belief, and communication;
Canon Law (cc. 215, 216, 229): affirming the legitimacy of institutions promoting education and truth;
Charter of the State of Xaragua, which grants full autonomy to the University in establishing its technological and pedagogical systems.
The Moodle platform is not merely a tool, but a state-sanctioned instrument of instruction, communication, and certification. It serves as the official learning management system for all accredited microprograms, certificates, and academic content produced under the authority of Xaragua University.
This secure, autonomous and internationally respected system reflects our commitment to sovereign, structured, and mission-driven education—offered beyond borders, without compromise, and fully protected under the legal and theological framework of the Xaragua State.
All access to Moodle is governed by internal statutes and user protocols. Academic integrity, doctrinal alignment, and institutional loyalty are non-negotiable requirements for continued access.
