Notas de Moodle 2.1

Moodle 2.1

Fecha de lanzamiento: 1 de Julio de 2011

Esta página muestra información (en inglés) de las mejoras y soluciones de problemas que incorpora.

Principales nuevas características

Nuevo motor de preguntas

Moodle question system has been rewritten to make it much more robust and to support lots of new possible functionality.
See summary of changes at the New question engine page and more details in the tracker MDL-20636.
Warning: This change requires a major database upgrade. If you have a lot of question attempts in your site, you probably need to plan your upgrade in stages, using some extra code that is not in core.
Backward compatibility warning: Random short-answer matching question type was moved out of the main Moodle distribution.

Restauración de contenidos de cursos desde copias de seguridad de Moodle 1.9

Course backup files created in Moodle 1.9 can be now restored during the normal restore process.
No user data (like forum posts, grades, submissions, ...) are supported yet. Blocks are not restored yet.
See MDL-22414 for details.

Activación de servicios web (WS) para dispositivos móviles

Moodle 2.1 comes with a built-in web service designed for mobile applications.
It is required to run the official Moodle app.
Enable it only if you want people to use the official app or if third party app explicitly requires it.
See MDL-27551 and Enable mobile web services documentation for details.

Actualización

When upgrading to Moodle 2.1, you must first upgrade to Moodle 1.9 or (preferably) 2.0. We advise that you test the upgrade first on a COPY of your production site, to make sure it works as you expect.
