New for teachers
From MoodleDocs
If you're a teacher in Moodle, then this page will tell you about the major changes affecting you in Moodle 3.2
- A new core theme, Boost, bring with it important navigation and course editing changes.
- New courses using the Boost theme will no longer display blocks, in line with mobile app usage, although you may still add blocks if you need to.
- A nav drawer on the left replaces the navigation block and may be opened and closed to free up space.
Course editing
- In the new Boost theme, a gear menu is present at the top of the course page.
- Here you can turn on editing andlocate other important aspects of the course.
- A 'More' link leads to course administration settings.
- Existing activities and resources may be a gear menu within the activity.
- Your favourite sound and video files will display more efficiently across browsers, with caption and subtitling options.
Course management
- Enrolments may be quickly handled by clicking the gear in the Participants link:
- It's now possible to set an end date for your course as well as a start date, although this does not affect students being able to access your course.
- Rubrics may have negative scores, for example to penalise students who submit late.
Activities

Workshop: Portfolio export
A new capability workshop:exportsubmissions, given to teachers and students by default, means workshop submissions and assessments may be exported to external portfolios such as Mahara.
