Moodle 4 Upgrade Summer 2023 !
By Pamela Clarke, on 3 August 2023
No doubt you have read the updates, blogs and twitter, Yes Moodle has changed !
Moodle 4 is a revamped user interface and experience, and we are assured that it provides a more modern and significantly cleaner user experience for the user, with updated technology, design, navigation and layout.
What does this mean for reading lists you may ask yourself ? Luckily nothing too significant, although the layout for the Library Resources block, and the embedding (LTI) tool is slightly different on the new upgrade.
The familiar Library Resources block is hidden in a drawer !
The popular LTI (embedding tool) is also available and functions pretty much the same as before. You can select the Reading List option from the “add an activity” list.
Another exciting in feature in Moodle is the ability to open the reading list or section of reading list in a new window, when using the embed tool.
We will provide full details of these features on our webpages in the next few days so you can follow the process through.
For more information on the upgrade and training available please see an earlier blog from the the Digital Education Team.
The Moodle plugin that is being used for the embedding tool will be updated to Aspire LTI 1.3. late August/September. We will keep you informed of changes.
