Full details of the release with technical information can be found in the [[:dev:Moodle 3.10 release notes|Moodle 3.10 release notes]].
__NOTOC__


Moodle has a lot of settings and features, which means some of our forms have been getting rather long.  We know this is daunting for new users! 
==For all users==
<div class="card-deck mt-3">


We've made changes so that on-essential settings on forms are collapsed by default, yet you can quickly access them when you need them.
  <div class="card">
    <div class="card-body">
[[File:DocsStudentDownloadCCPopup.png|class=img-fluid]]
      <h4 class="card-title">
Download course content
      </h4>
      <p class="card-text">
[[Download course content]] (if allowed) at the click of a button.
      </p>
    </div>
  </div>


{|
  <div class="card">
| [[File:shorterforms.png|thumb|Note the "expand all" option and condensed links]]
    <div class="card-body">
| [[File:assignmentform.png|thumb|Assignment types are neatly summarised]]
[[File:DocsChooseBackPack.png|class=img-fluid]]
|}
      <h4 class="card-title">
Choose your backpack
      </h4>
      <p class="card-text">
Send your badges to your choice of backpack.
      </p>
    </div>
  </div>


In a similar space-saver, you can choose whether or not to enable the rich text editor when creating quiz questions:
</div>
<div class="card-deck mt-3">


{|
  <div class="card">
| [[File:quizform1.png|thumb|Without the editing tools]]
    <div class="card-body">
| [[File:quizform2.png|thumb|With the editing tools]]
[[File:DocsQuizScrollingTimer.png|class=img-fluid]]
|}
      <h4 class="card-title">

      </h4>
      <p class="card-text">

      </p>
    </div>
  </div>


===Folders can be displayed inline on a course page===
  <div class="card">
    <div class="card-body">
[[File:Docs_Folder310.png|class=img-fluid]]
      <h4 class="card-title">
Folder display
      </h4>
      <p class="card-text">
[[Folder resource]] images and HTML files may be viewed directly in the browser without downloading them.
      </p>
    </div>
  </div>


You can now choose whether to have a folder show its contents in a separate screen, as previously, or to have it display them inline with any subfolders expanded:
</div>


{|

| [[File:folder2.png|thumb|Folder displayed inline]]
| [[File:folder3.png|thumb|Folder displayed inline with subfolders expanded]]
|}


===Badges===
==For teachers==
It's now possible for teachers to award course badges based on chosen criteria. These badges may also connect with [http://openbadges.org/ Mozilla Open Badges]
<div class="card-deck mt-3">

      <p class="card-text">

      </p>
    </div>
  </div>


===Word count in forum posts===
  <div class="card">
A new setting in forums will display the number of words in a post:
    <div class="card-body">
[[File:DocsTeacherDownloadCourse.png|class=img-fluid]]
      <h4 class="card-title">

<div class="card-deck mt-3">

===Templates for Essay question types===
  <div class="card">
When using the Essay question type in a quiz, you can now set a template which appears in the students' text editor for scaffolding their response:
    <div class="card-body">
[[File:DocsPaymentTeacher.png|class=img-fluid]]
      <h4 class="card-title">

      <p class="card-text">

===Glossary block enhancements===
</div>


You can now use a global glossary in the random glossary block, and you can display the entries in alphabetical order:

==For administrators:==
<div class="card-deck mt-3">


===A new theme suited to all screen sizes===
  <div class="card">
"Bootstrap" is a theme which changes according to the screensize of the device used - on smaller screens for example, blocks move to the bottom, freeing up space for the main content at the top:
    <div class="card-body">
[[File:Docs_AdminDownloadContent.png|class=img-fluid]]
      <h4 class="card-title">
Download course content
      </h4>
      <p class="card-text">

      </p>
    </div>
  </div>


===Install add-ons from inside Moodle===
</div>
It's now possible to install add-ons from within Moodle, rather than accessing folders on the server; useful for those admins who do not have FTP access. Add-ons can be uploaded and installed from a zip file or located and installed from the Moodle plugins directory:
