New Features in Moodle

The Moodle upgrade is fast approaching and I thought now would be a good time to highlight a few of the new features that you can expect.

  1. Collapsible course index and ‘block drawer’
  2. Moving activities and resources just got easier!
  3. Starred modules option
  4. Main menu for easier navigation
  5. New layout option

Why not take a look at what your course content looks like in the new version? Use this link to https://moodletest.lancaster.ac.uk/uat/ (staff only) to view your course. If you would like to add a course to this page, get in touch with a member of the team.
