However, a particularly exciting initiative is the new Moodle Plugins Service, due in 2021, which will provide an “app store” experience on which all developers can build financial sustainability for their work, while teachers will have easier access to use hundreds of new plugins in their courses via the web interface, without needing to convince their admins to install code. This will help the entire plugins ecosystem.

=== Moodle 4.1 (November 2022) ===
Moodle 4.1 (and following 4.x releases) will see a continuation of user experience (UX) improvements for the Moodle LMS platform. Moodle 4.0 focused on significant UX improvements for navigation and the main course page experience. In Moodle 4.1 we will focus on improving the UX for the course activities, commencing with the most widely used activities such as Assignment and Quiz. Improving the gradebook UX will be another main focus.


===Moodle 4.0 in November 2021 ===
Other projects include:
 
* Improving the integration with MoodleNet
* Investigating and commencing the project to improve messaging in Moodle (proposed integration with [https://matrix.org/ Matrix] messaging)
* MUA projects to improve the Database and Assignment activities
* Continuing the [[Question bank improvements for Moodle 4.1|Question bank improvements]] project
===Moodle 4.0 (April 2022) ===
For our very large new releases such as 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and now 4.0, we often take longer so that we can tackle more significant chunks of important core work, giving us the opportunity sometimes to make more serious changes to UX or architecture. Moodle 4.0 will focus on UX improvements.

There are a lot of ideas around for 4.0 - we will be relying on our new UX team to organise and prioritise a lot of it during the next 6 months.

Introduction

The Moodle Project is designed to have a positive effect on the world by supporting and empowering the educators who are teaching students in all sectors, in all countries.

To do this, our team at Moodle HQ looks to the world, talks with our community, and creates solutions in the forms of products that fit our values of education, openness, respect, integrity and innovation.

This document summarises, for a broad audience, the best current plans on the future technical development of the Moodle’s open source learning platform, consisting of Moodle LMS, Moodle Workplace LMS, MoodleCloud, MoodleNet, Moodle Apps, and Moodle Educator Certificates.

Where this roadmap comes from

Proposals for improvements and new features come from a variety of different places.

Feedback from the community is extremely important and you can reach us by


Moodle also has an extensive network of Moodle Partners. Moodle Partners are service providers that are certified by Moodle HQ to provide high quality Moodle services for schools, institutions and organisations. We work closely with our partners to determine the needs of Moodle Users and improve the platform.

Our Roadmap is built via our Roadmap process. This process is continuously evolving but it always seeks to involve all our key stakeholders - students, teachers, admins, institutions, and of course our partners and supporters.

The big picture

Working on the Moodle learning platform involves millions of moving parts, and every release generally includes hundreds of improvements. However, there are four main goals that we are focussing on for the next two years:

User experience and flow

The entire user experience from onboarding, into daily teaching/learning and expert customisation of Moodle is the core value of what makes Moodle useful or not in the real world, in fully online and blended modes.

While we’re working on hundreds of smaller, annoying issues, we are also doing some major re-thinking around what an LMS should be in the next decade and beyond as a tool to empower educators and learners.

Enabling all our developers

Our significant community of engaged developers are an amazing group of over 1000 people - many of them make a living being part of the Moodle community.

We are of course working on ways to make Moodle programming easier and better, with better training and support as well as improved APIs, plugins, integrations and support for modern technologies.

However, a particularly exciting initiative is the new Moodle Plugins Service, due in 2021, which will provide an “app store” experience on which all developers can build financial sustainability for their work, while teachers will have easier access to use hundreds of new plugins in their courses via the web interface, without needing to convince their admins to install code. This will help the entire plugins ecosystem.

Better integrations between Moodle products

The current Moodle products already integrate with each other, of course, but there is much more to be done to make them work together more seamlessly, as part of one platform, so that our users have a better experience and also so that they become more aware of solutions to their problems.

Better integration with the world

Moodle is never used alone, and it is a part of many ecosystems at many levels. We must connect to all kinds of other systems, we must of course comply with new legislation such as the GDPR, Accessibility and much more.

In particular though, we are committed to helping to promote Open EdTech and to work closely with qualified Open EdTech products and major stakeholders to design and build an open architecture for a long-term future.

Notes on the Moodle LMS releases

Moodle 4.1 (November 2022)

Moodle 4.1 (and following 4.x releases) will see a continuation of user experience (UX) improvements for the Moodle LMS platform. Moodle 4.0 focused on significant UX improvements for navigation and the main course page experience. In Moodle 4.1 we will focus on improving the UX for the course activities, commencing with the most widely used activities such as Assignment and Quiz. Improving the gradebook UX will be another main focus.

Other projects include:

  • Improving the integration with MoodleNet
  • Investigating and commencing the project to improve messaging in Moodle (proposed integration with Matrix messaging)
  • MUA projects to improve the Database and Assignment activities
  • Continuing the Question bank improvements project

Moodle 4.0 (April 2022)

For our very large new releases such as 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and now 4.0, we often take longer so that we can tackle more significant chunks of important core work, giving us the opportunity sometimes to make more serious changes to UX or architecture. Moodle 4.0 will focus on UX improvements.

As part of a significant UX and design change, the current focus is on three main UX projects:

  • Improved navigation, search and menus - MDL-69588
  • Making it easier to create and manage courses - MDL-70907
  • Making it easier for students to know what they need to do to complete a course, and know what’s next


Other projects include:

Moodle 3.11 (May 2021)

In 2021 the majority of HQ developers will be focused on the UX improvements that are scheduled for Moodle 4.0. This means that the Moodle 3.11 release is anticipated to contain mostly community contributed improvements and a couple smaller HQ developments.

Note that while we will endeavour to include all community contributions in the 3.11 release, we may defer some improvements to a later release depending on the complexity, size, and impact on other scheduled work.

Scheduled projects for Moodle 3.11 are:

Release support timeframes

We are extending security support on Moodle 3.9 and Moodle 3.11 to November 2023. We are also extending general bug fix support on Moodle 3.11 by 6 months to November 2022. This will provide additional support and time for sites to make the transition to Moodle 4.0 or Moodle 4.1.

Past releases

See our Releases page for information about past releases.

After Moodle 2.0 we switched to time-based releases rather than feature-based releases (see our development process). Because of this, the details above on future releases are an indication of current priorities only, and are targeted to be released in the upcoming releases. Anything not ready by the next release date will generally be pushed to the following major release.
