What version of Moodle am I using?

The version of Moodle which your site is using can be found if you log in as an administrator and go to Site administration > Notifications.

Moodle version info

Finding the version of Moodle if you are not an admin

  • For Moodle sites in English or German (only), if you are a regular teacher with no admin access, you might be able to find your Moodle version by clicking on "Moodle Docs for this page" at the bottom of any Moodle page when logged in. If your admin has allowed this link to display, you should be taken to the documentation for your version of Moodle. Look at the number in the URL e.g. 27 or 32 which mean you are using Moodle 2.7 or 3.2 respectively.

Finding the version of Moodle if your site is in a language other than English or German

  • For Moodle sites in languages other than English, you can go to any course where you are a teacher. We will see one example for a Mexican Spanish site.
    • Notice the URL in the browser window (blue rectangle in the image below).
