Hello Community Members,
Welcome to this edition of ‘Showcase Shorts’ which is full to the brim with updates on our progress in delivering our roadmap.
This time we kick off with our Moodle Workplace update, with updates on our progress with delivering IDEA-131 ‘Manually Assigned Manager’, which will make integration with a wider variety of external HR systems easier in the future.
The Workplace team also completed a number of improvements in support of requests made by our Premium Partners which informed more than half of our priorities this sprint.
For Moodle LMS, the teams progressed with the delivery of the following:
-
IDEA-31, providing ongoing enhancements to the functionality and usability of our Gradebook;
-
IDEA-152, designed to make adding LTI external tools to courses easier for educators;
-
IDEA-16, which will see us enhance our course management, back up & roll-over capabilities;
-
IDEA-158, bringing to life the second phase of our integration with MoodleNet, enabling bi-directional sharing of whole courses between our platforms; and
-
IDEA-183, the newest feature voted for by the MUA, supporting the setting of course-level defaults for course completion.
Our journey towards delivering the most secure version of Moodle LMS ever continues, with more security-focused improvements completed during the sprint.
During the sprint, the Moodle Mobile Applications team proudly released version 4.2 of the Moodle LMS Mobile App, packed full of new features and functionality. Read the announcement for all the details.
We are also continuing our work on making the journey for new users on MoodleCloud easier with the development of a new starter course, designed to help them see the potential of Moodle come to life.
And finally, as always, our Moodle Community Sites team continues to improve the tools we make available to you. We are currently working on improving the UX resources we make available to the community and the searchability of Moodle Plugins.
Until next sprint!
The Moodle Products Team
