For teachers
Conditional activity enhancements
The interface for setting up conditional activities has been streamlined and it's now possible to restrict access with "or" conditions and use nested restrictions for complex access criteria.
Assignment improvements
Teachers can now control when to send feedback to students via a checkbox and may, if allowed, edit or delete student submissions.
Quiz improvements
Duplicating and moving questions is now easier and there is an option to 'Save changes and continue editing'. Quiz reports have been improved; the Essay question now allows students simply to add an attachment and the Random Short answer matching question type is available for use.
For administrators
Long term support
By popular demand, Moodle 2.7 will have extended support of 3 years security and data-loss fixes, twice the time of other releases.
