Moodle Workplace new features
4.4
Read on for Moodle Workplace 4.4 highlights. Full details of the release with technical information can be found in the Moodle Workplace 4.4 release notes.
Learning Catalogue
The Learning Catalogue, also known as ‘Catalogue’, is a new enhancement that is a complete revamp of the course browse and search functionality in Moodle Workplace. It transforms the course discovery experience, ensuring convenience and individualised upskilling, and providing easier access to learning materials.
Learning catalogue allows admins to configure which fields should be displayed and in which order. It also allows for the configuration of the filters.
Landing page
Learning Catalogue's initial page, where learners can use the search box to look for something or select a category in the category selector to browse courses in that category and its subcategories.
Category and search results
Contains a list of all courses matching the search criteria or in the selected category, with a list layout. Users can narrow down results using the filters on the left side.
Course information
Learners can use the existing Course Cover page to review all relevant information for the course, and enrol themselves into the course using any of the available methods
Enabling the Catalogue
If enabled, the Learning Catalogue replaces the standard functionality in Moodle LMS to search and browse course and categories
Layout configuration
Catalogue allows configuration of the different layouts and the category selector, to optimise it to the site contents and design
Field configuration
All relevant fields in the course, including custom fields, can be added to the course cards. The order of the fields in the card is also configurable. Tiles and List views allow different configuration
Filter configuration
