Refined look

Activies and sections clearly defined.

Single section page

Focus on one section only in its own page.

New 'View' option

With edit mode enabled, teachers click to 'view' a single section.

Custom sections

Activity icons

Updated activity icons use an accessible colour palette.

File (MIME) type icons

Available also in 4.1/2/3, file types can be easily identified.

New 'Ordering' question type (MUA-sponsored project)

Rearrange words or phrases

Now standard Moodle, the Ordering question type allows teachers to create questions with single words or sentences.

Reorder images

Images can also be rearranged if using the HTML format option.

Quiz improvements

Display 'last saved'

Students can see from Quiz navigation when their responses were last saved.

Section grading

Teachers can allocate grades to groups of questions in a quiz.

And more...

New notifications

Enabled by default in new sites, notifications now include welcome messages for manual enrolments and warnings of unenrolment due to inactivity.

Matrix rooms for groups are now created in courses using groups.

Quicker 'Post to all groups'

The 'Post to all groups' checkbox displays directly on the page when creating a post.

Filter course badges

Teachers and students can filter course badges.

TinyMCE
