Moodle Workplace 4.0 release notes

See our Moodle Workplace 4.0 new features page in the user documentation for an introduction to Moodle Workplace 4.0 with screenshots.

Major features

New Workplace UI

We have brought to the Workplace theme all the great UX improvements in Moodle LMS 4.0: the new navigation, footer, styles and course format.
All Workplace admin pages have a new look with more actions available from inside the individual entities.
Login page has been redesigned in line with the new Moodle LMS login page.
Workplace launcher is now more scalable and now plugins can add their items

New Dashboard

A new default dashboard configuration to make it easier for learners to prioritise their learning.
In progress courses block shows courses the learner has started already so it is easy for them to continue where they left off.
New available courses block shows courses that are available for the learner, so they can start working on them right away!

New Learner journey

New redesigned and extended My Courses page in LMS 4.0 to include Programs and Certifications.
Programs and sets have their independent pages now. This makes the process much easier to understand for learners.
Program cover page. Allows the learner to see the relevant information about the program before getting started. Later on, this information is available in the “Information tab”.
Course cover page. Similar to Programs, we have also added a cover page to courses. This page shows relevant information about the course to the learner before they get into it, in addition to being available in the “Information tab”

New Custom Pages feature

With Custom pages, site administrators can create both global and tenant-only pages for different audiences and customise them using the same blocks available for dashboard customisation.

New My Teams page

My Teams is now a custom page created by default on installation
We have redesigned the Team overview block to focus on tracking team learning progress and overdue learning
New progress reports for Certifications, Programs and Courses to make the reporting more consistent.
New program progress overview report, in line with the new program page.

Multi-tenancy

Now it is possible to have branded apps per tenant.
Individual domains per tenant (experimental). With this feature, it is possible to define custom URLs for individual tenants with some limitations. Note this is an experimental feature.

Report Builder

Moodle Workplace now uses core Moodle LMS Report Builder. As part of this upgrade, we have converted all system reports and almost all Custom Reports data sources (see upgrade notes)
Core reports are supported in the Reports block
Implemented automatic conversion of legacy reports to core Report Builder
Manual conversion is available as well, including the editing of legacy reports with the previous version of Report Builder.

Course format "WPList" is no longer part of Moodle Workplace. This plugin will still be available for partners but it won’t be part of the official distribution (see upgrade notes).
Block “My Learning” is no longer part of Moodle Workplace. This plugin will still be available for partners but it won’t be part of the official distribution (see upgrade notes).
Implemented thorough report source testing in Moodle LMS and added tests for Workplace report sources
Support certificate reissue upon course re-completion on course certificate activity
Fixed a bug on tenant archiving that caused users were not moved to the default tenant under some circumstances.
Notification dynamic rules to allow placeholder to refer to tenant login URL
