CU Moodle Announcements & Resources

Dear Faculty, Staff, and Students -

We’re writing to inform you about an upcoming critical software update to Moodle, our Learning Management System (LMS), that will temporarily affect system access and functionality.

Key Changes and Timeline:

MOODLE WILL BE OFFLINE during an update period from December 20, 2024 to January 6, 2025

NOTE: Moodle will remain available intermittently in view-only mode* this means:

• • You can access and view all existing course materials, grades, and resources
  • Any *changes to course content, assignments, or grades made during this period will not be saved or reflected in the update available on January 6th
  • Students will maintain “view-only” access to all published materials 

This update will enhance system stability and introduce new features supporting our commitment to accessible and inclusive education. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this transition.

Best regards,

Elaine Plourde [Learning Systems Specialist]
