Migration

With a simple, clean and intuitive interface, migrating things has never been so easy in Moodle.

Workplace migration is capable of:

• Chained migration. Exporters and Importers can be chained together. For instance, when exporting Certifications, we delegate to other exporters to handle programs, courses and dynamic rules.
• Pluggable. Migration APIs are pluggable by design, to allow you to create your exporters and importers easily.
• Ready to implement 3rd party exporters and importers.
• Command-line interactive interface: php admin/tool/wp/cli/export.php , php admin/tool/wp/cli/import.php

• 

  Export UI

  Export the content from a Moodle Workplace instance in only three straightforward steps.

Shared space

• 

  Shared space

  Shared Space comes into play to ease the sharing of different entities across all tenants, maximising re-utilisation of learning entities and improving automation when we add Report Builder and Dynamic Rules to the mix.

  Shared Space enables easy sharing of entities across all tenants. It works like a special tenant where users can create supported entities to be available in other tenants.

• 

  Shared programs and certifications

  Programs and Certifications created in the Shared space will be available for all tenants.

  From a Manager and Learner perspective, shared programs and certifications work the same way: Managers can view and allocate users from their teams and Learners will see shared programs on their dashboards and in the reports the same way they see any other program.

  Learners from different tenants are always allocated to separate groups in the shared courses.

Migration: Exporters and Importers

• 

  Tenants

  With tenants migration now it’s possible to migrate whole tenants’ content and configuration using all the chained exporters and importers we introduced on the previous releases.

•

• 

  Users

  Export and import users, including user's profile information, their pictures and suspended users, if needed.

Students dashboard

• 

  Redesigned learning tab

  This is a major change in the Workplace learner dashboard. Programs and Courses are not separated in different tabs anymore, with the new Learning tab all the learning entities are shown in the same tab.

  We took the opportunity to improve the UI as well.

Certificates

• 

  "Course certificate" activity

  With this activity module now it’s possible to configure certificates at a course level.

  This certificate can be configured to be issued automatically when the activity is available without any user intervention.

Workplace theme

  A lot of small changes improved the programs "Users" tab radically like adding the user's pictures and links to their user profile, new reports on users progress and the option to preview the program like the learner sees it in their dashboards.
