Beginning June 30th, Moodle shells will begin to be generated and populated with class rosters for the Fall semester. Aside from student enrollments Moodle shells will be mostly devoid of pre-populated content (which you may be accustomed to seeing in previous semesters).
After June 30th, you are encouraged to build your new courses, copy your previous courses, etc. For more information about how to copy courses or re-use specific content please visit "What's new in Moodle".
An upgrade to the Moodle learning management system is scheduled for July 21st. This upgrade is essential to ensure we continue to provide a secure, and streamlined experience for our students and instructors.
We understand that platform changes can bring questions, and we want to assure you of a smooth transition. Here's what you need to know
-- Your Content is Safe!
We want to emphasize that none of your existing Moodle content will be lost during this upgrade. All your courses, activities, resources, grades, and user data will be migrated to the new version. Your hard work and valuable materials are secure.
-- What to Expect:
After July 25th:
While your content will remain intact, things may look a little different in the updated Moodle interface. You might notice:
- Refreshed User Interface: The visual design and layout of Moodle may have a more modern feel, potentially with reorganized menus or navigation elements.
- Minor Formatting Shifts: While content will be preserved, there's a small possibility that some complex formatting (e.g., custom HTML, embedded elements) might display differently in the new version.
After August 1st:
To ensure a seamless experience, we kindly request that you review your Moodle shells after August 1st. Please take a few moments to:
- Check for any formatting issues: Briefly navigate through your courses to ensure all text, images, and embedded content appear as expected.
- Verify due dates and other settings: Confirm that all assignment due dates, and other activity settings are correct.
Support and Training are Available!
To help you familiarize yourself with the updated Moodle and address any questions or concerns, feel free to schedule a 1-on-1 meeting with Elaine Plourde.
Your cooperation and understanding as we work to enhance Moodle @ CU is much appreciated.
