Hello!
We are going to be updating to Moodle 4.4 before the start of the quarter to get the best experience and important updates for fall. There are no dramatic changes but as always a few settings and buttons will have moved. The overall look and navigation will remain that same.
A few notes:
- Moodle 4.4 continues to refine the look of the course pages. Activities and Resources should now take up less vertical space than they did previously.
- Moodle 4.4 featues easier instructor editing for various items, including Group modes, Completion requirements, and general settings.
- Moodle’s new default text editor is now TinyMCE as the previous Atto editor is moved out of service. The overall layout and function of buttons is similar.
- If instructors are making multiple changes to their course, the Mass Actions plugin is now part of Moodle’s core.
- There will also be updates and new features for our intergrated Hypothesis collaborative annotation plugin.
Most of the changes are focused on instructors needing less clicks and time to execute the tasks they’re look for. The student experience should be almost identical.
As always please contact me with any questions, clarifications, or need for support.
Best,
Josh Moon
