Moodle 2.7 brings a lot of exciting new features for teachers, students and administrators. You can watch screencasts on some of these highlights on the official MoodleHQ YouTube page: Moodle 2.7 Release Highlights Playlist.
Full details of the release, with technical information, can be found in the Moodle 2.7 Release notes.
For teachers
-
Assignment improvements
- Teachers can now control when to send feedback to students via a checkbox.
- If allowed,they may edit or delete student submissions.
- Online text assignmnents can have a word limit and teachers can edit student work directly inline.
- Teachers can filter the grading table to see which students have not yet submitted.
-
Quiz improvements
As well as an updated question type selector, duplicating and moving questions is now easier, and there is an option to 'Save changes and continue editing'. Quiz reports have been improved and the Essay question now allows students simply to add an attachment with no accompanying text.
For administrators and managers

By popular demand, Moodle 2.7 will have extended support of 3 years (until June 2017) for security and data-loss fixes, twice the time of other releases.
