Annual Moodle Upgrade (2019/20)

This project will deliver the annual upgrade of Moodle,  which will move the University to its latest version.

Moodle is the University's centrally supported virtual learning environment for online distance learning programmes.  It brings together tools for presenting course content and facilitating communication between staff and students. This includes integrations with other centrally provided services such as Turnitin and Collaborate as well third-party plugins to extend the functionality of Moodle itself.  Staff running a distance learning programme can choose to use Moodle to deliver their content.

Delivering this project will ensure the University's instance of the software is updated in line with community supported software releases.  It will also deliver the new functionality available in the latest version of Moodle, which aims to enhance user experience for learners and teachers alike.  An updated web design theme will also be delivered for the new version.
