Características principales
Marking workflows (Phase 1) - Multiple markers for assignments
It is now possible to configure assignments to require multiple markers, as well as the method for calculating the grade from the individual marks (either calculated via various methods, or manually).
Key settings include:
Site-wide default number of markers - Educators can adjust this number while setting up individual assignments. It defaults to the setting configured in Site Administration>Plugins>Assignments>Settings.
Grade calculation method - Educators can choose the automatic grade calculation method that is applied when all markers have marked an assignment submission (or opt for it to be set manually).
Workflow management - The overall assignment workflow gets automatically updated in real-time.
More polished Activity pages
Several aesthetic improvements have been made to Activity pages, making key information more prominent and allowing for more intuitive orientation. Beyond the visual clean up which removes redundant separator lines and empty whitespace, several subtle yet impactful enhancements have been made.
Course title always visible in the course index: The course title now remains visible in the course index while scrolling down the course page. The Course title is also a hyperlink to the main course page, providing a consistent shortcut back to the course homepage from any point within the course.
Improved visibility of key activity information: The completion criteria, activity dates, and completion actions are reorganised to sit prominently at the top of the activity page. This allows learners to quickly understand what they need to do and by when, without having to search through the page.
Activity dates are now displayed in a dedicated area above the description, improving visibility and prioritisation.
Completion criteria are positioned directly below the description, creating a clearer and more intuitive flow of information.
The completion status label (e.g. “Done”) and the manual completion button are displayed in the activity header for better visibility, ensuring a consistent and easily accessible location regardless of content length.
Experiencia más clara para contenido restringido
Restricted activities and sections now have dedicated pages that show availability conditions in an expanded, readable format. This will help reduce confusion and provide convenient clarity on access conditions.
Mejoras a subsecciones
Subsection navigation updates
Dedicated subsection pages are removed and replaced with anchor links that take users directly to the relevant content within the main section page. This reduces unnecessary clicks and makes it quicker to access content.
The visual design of subsections is simplified. Bordered boxes are removed and replaced with a header and a divider line, making the page easier to scan and the content structure clearer.
Refrescado de Tablero y experiencia de ingreso al sitio para nuevos sitios
Moodle 5.2 presents a refreshed landing experience for new sites.
A refreshed login page takes users to an updated Dashboard with quick access to key actions, providing new users a simpler, clearer and more intuitive first experience with Moodle.
Mejoras a la carga del Tablero para instalaciones nuevas
For new installs, the Course overview block is now added to the Dashboard by default to give a clear indication to new users who want to access and create courses. Users will no longer be required to change pages to access courses.
The Calendar block is moved from the main dashboard area into the blocks drawer. Navigation is simplified by disabling the default My Home and My Courses links, helping reduce confusion and making the Dashboard the central starting point.
Refrescado de página para ingresar al sitio
La página de inicio de sesión (ingreso al sitio) se ha rediseñado para ofrecer una apariencia más clara y moderna. Este cambio proporciona una primera impresión más acogedora y profesional para los nuevos usuarios.
Refrescado de Autenticación Multi-Factores
La experiencia de autenticación multifactor (MFA) se ha renovado visualmente para ofrecer a los usuarios una experiencia de inicio de sesión (ingreso al sitio) uniforme. Esto incluye una nueva apariencia para la autenticación mediante correo electrónico, SMS, clave de seguridad y la aplicación Autenticadora.
Configuraciones predeterminadas de ingreso al sitio para instalaciones nuevas
- Se ha habilitado el inicio de sesión forzado y se ha ocultado el botón de inicio de sesión de invitado.
- Se puede activar o desactivar la visibilidad de la contraseña al iniciar sesión en dispositivos móviles.
- Se ha habilitado el inicio de sesión por correo electrónico, para que los usuarios puedan introducir tanto su nombre de usuario como su dirección de correo electrónico (si es única) para acceder al sitio web.
En conjunto, estos cambios crean un punto de entrada más atractivo a Moodle LMS, que fomenta la productividad y ahorra tiempo al ofrecer una experiencia inicial más consistente para los nuevos usuarios.
Tenga en cuenta que si ha modificado estos ajustes en su sitio, la configuración existente se mantendrá sin cambios tras la actualización.
Usabilidad de Examen y banco de preguntas
Estas actualizaciones de funciones tienen como objetivo mejorar la usabilidad y la coherencia de la interfaz de categorías del Banco de Preguntas.
Ahora los usuarios pueden contraer y expander las categorías del banco de preguntas - de forma similar a las categorías de los cursos - y pueden editar los nombres de las categorías directamente dentro de la interfaz. Además, el diseño del banco de preguntas ahora muestra el número de preguntas de cada categoría y permite mover categorías completas, incluyendo sus subcategorías y preguntas en su interior.
En general, estas actualizaciones continúan con las mejoras generales de usabilidad y consistencia en las páginas de exámenes y bancos de preguntas.
Colapsar/Expander, arrastrar y soltar y mover categorías del banco de preguntas
Users can now collapse or expand question bank categories, drag & drop them, and move them with ease. This makes it simpler to organise, rearrange, and manage category layouts.
In-place editing for question bank categories
Question bank categories under a course can now be edited directly in-place using editable text fields, with changes saved instantly. This reduces time and effort by removing the need to navigate between multiple pages while making updates.
Mostrar el número de preguntas para los bancos de pregunta
Get the total number of questions listed in a question bank by referring to the number ‘badge’ against every question bank. This provides instant visibility into question counts to quickly review and manage question banks.
Mover categorías completas del banco de preguntas a un banco de preguntas diferente
Managing a large question bank is now much more convenient. Move an entire category, along with its questions, from one question bank to another without recreating anything. Reorganising question banks quickly and keeping content structured has never been easier.
In Moodle, tertiary navigation appeared in different styles across the platform. Tertiary navigation in the Question Bank has been redesigned to align to the experience provided in other areas. The order in which tertiary navigation is displayed now matches the same look and fee, making shifts between different areas of Moodle more intuitive.
Mejoras al Constructor de Reportes
Find information faster with more powerful filters, clearly understand the status of scheduled reports, and rely on consistent behaviour across custom reports—ultimately reducing manual effort and improving confidence in reporting workflows.
Constructor de reportes mejorado con nuevas mejoras a filtrado y usabilidad.
The Task Logs report is extended with database read/write count filtering, while the user list filters now support wildcards for more flexible searches.
In addition, report administration is improved with:
- Clearer schedule status feedback
- More consistent handling of course-module custom reports
- Toast notifications to inform users when a report schedule is enabled or disabled
Reporting behaviour for course-module–related custom reports is also standardised to ensure consistency across the platform.
Fundaciones de Reac añadidoas al núcleo de Moodle
Moodle 5.2 introduces the foundational infrastructure required to support React in core. This includes build integration, auto-initialisation and template helpers, import maps support, and the ability to use external bundles.
While this is not a single end-user feature, it is a strategically important platform capability that lays the groundwork for future UX improvements and frontend modernisation.
The capability is supported by:
- Integrating and optimising React build code, React mustache template helper and auto initialisation into the core.
- Adding React library and Design system as an external bundle.
- Adding Import maps and other require code to interact with the react build system.
Integración del paquete del Sistema de Diseño de Moodle
The Moodle Design System NPM package can now be integrated with Moodle LMS. This change will make it easier for developers to build and maintain UI features using shared design components and enables alignment between design-system components and core development.
Over time, this new functionality will help ensure the creation of a more consistent user interface across the platform.
Soporte para Instalar Moodle usando Composer
Moodle can now be installed using Composer, providing improved ease of long-term maintenance and support.
This change adds full support for installing Moodle via Composer, including the management of third-party libraries through Composer and testing tools adjustments for a smoother performance even when Moodle is installed in different directory structures.
While this is primarily a developer and DevOps feature, it represents an important platform improvement with long-term maintenance benefits. For more details refer to the 5.2 release notes.
Several supporting features are also included in this improvement:
- Shifting from individually specified testing dependencies to `moodle/moodle-testing` composer dependency
- Updating PHPUnit Configuration to support an optional directory prefix
- Updating environment.xml tests to understand that composer may be installed in the parent directory
Soporte para Telemetría Abierta
Nota: Urgente de Traducir. ¡ Anímese a traducir esta muy importante página !. ( y otras páginas muy importantes que urge traducir)
Moodle 5.2 introduces built-in support for OpenTelemetry (OTel), an open-source observability standard that enables administrators and developers to trace, monitor, and understand the performance and behaviour of a Moodle site in real time.
This initial release focuses on automatic instrumentation; no changes to Moodle code are required. Once configured, Moodle generates telemetry span data that can be collected and visualised by any OpenTelemetry-compatible monitoring tool.
What is automatically traced?
Once set up, Moodle generates telemetry spans for:
- All web requests and CLI operations
- Routing which controller and action handled each request
- Scheduled and ad-hoc tasks (cron)
- Event dispatch and bulk event processing
- Web service calls one span per external function call
Requirements
OpenTelemetry support requires the following to be configured outside of Moodle:
- The OpenTelemetry PHP extension, installed via PECL: pecl install opentelemetry
- The Composer package, added to your Moodle installation: composer require moodlehq/moodle-package-otel
- An OTel exporter: composer require open-telemetry/exporter-otlp
All OpenTelemetry configuration must be defined in php.ini or as environment variables it cannot be configured through the Moodle admin UI.
Viewing the data
Traces can be visualised using any OpenTelemetry-compatible backend, such as SigNoz (open source), Jaeger, Grafana Tempo, Honeycomb, or Datadog.
Disabling instrumentation
The integration can be disabled entirely, or individual components can be turned off using environment variables:
- Disable all: OTEL_PHP_DISABLED_INSTRUMENTATIONS=moodlelms
- Disable cron only: OTEL_PHP_DISABLED_INSTRUMENTATIONS=moodlelms.cronlistener

Otras mejoras
IA en Moodle LMS
Plugins de proveedor de IA integradas al núcleo de Moodle
Moodle’s inbuilt AI integration now includes Google’s Gemini AI and Amazon Bedrock as available AI providers.
The Gemini AI integration enables the seamless use of Google’s AI capabilities within Moodle and is compatible with all of Moodle’s current AI actions including text generation, summarisation, explanation and image creation. The setup also supports strong security for organisations who use Google more broadly, with all data remaining isolated within an organisation’s own Google account.
Moodle’s AI integration with Amazon Bedrock enables the seamless use of Amazon’s AI platform within Moodle. The benefits include:
- Data stays within the organisation’s configured AWS region — supports data sovereignty and compliance requirements
- Access multiple foundation models: Claude (Anthropic), Titan (Amazon), Llama (Meta), and more
- Ideal for AWS-invested institutions — integrates with existing IAM credentials
Administrators can configure AI providers and select models through a unified interface, allowing easy switching and flexibility.
Mejoras a la edición de cursos
Mejoras al flujo de trabajo
Course editing is now more efficient and reliable, with asynchronous reset enabling large courses to be processed without timeouts and with minimal disruption.
Additional enhancements—such as subsection duplication, direct redirection to edited activities, improved section-saving logic, and removal of the activities block—further streamline navigation and simplify course management.
Reset large courses asynchronously
Shifting course reset to an asynchronous process enables large courses to be handled efficiently without long-running requests or timeouts. This improves system reliability and delivers a smoother, uninterrupted user experience.
Other enhancements include:
“Duplicate” subsections: Under the subsections action menu, an option to “Duplicate” a subsection is included.
Activity-Level redirection: Users are redirected to the specific activity anchor (#module-...) instead of just the section creating a smoother, more efficient editing workflow, particularly in courses with big sections.
Workflow improvement for saving info in a section: The section editing workflow has been improved so that, after saving changes, users are returned to the page they came from, helping them stay oriented and continue their work more easily.
Activities block removed: With the course overview integrated into the standard course navigation, the activities block will no longer be necessary.
Site administration and integration improvements
These improvements strengthen operational efficiency and system governance for large-scale Moodle deployments.
Configurable backup naming for enterprise compliance: Large institutions often rely on structured data archiving processes, where consistent file naming is critical. This feature enables the configuration of default backup file names using Mustache templates. This supports administrators to define back up naming schemes that align seamlessly with internal policies, improving traceability and compliance across systems.
Simplified Course deletion: Course deletion is now more intuitive, supporting deletion by shortname or id number. Since these identifiers are commonly used in student information systems and integrations, this enhancement reduces the potential for errors and streamlines administrative workflows.
User experience and interface improvements
These improvements help provide a more intuitive experience and enable faster task completion for all Moodle users.
Submit buttons in sticky footer: As users scroll, the Submit buttons are now positioned in a sticky footer constrained to occupy only the space between the vertical sidebars. This ensures that key actions are always within reach, significantly improving efficiency and reducing hassles during course editing.
Refined layout of custom field management pages: The pages are redesigned to deliver a more intuitive and consistent experience. The enhancements include:
- A clearer layout structure aligned with other administrative interfaces
- Improved visual separation between component-level and shared custom fields
- Better organisation to help users quickly identify and manage field types
Mejoras a Foros y colaboración
Forums are now more effective for collaboration, with Q&A discussions supporting real-time visibility of responses to enable faster, more interactive engagement during live sessions.
Additionally, expanded inactivity-based locking options—ranging from a few days to several years—give educators and institutions greater flexibility to manage discussion lifecycles based on their specific needs.
View responses in real-time in Q and A forum: The Questions and Answers (Q&A) forum is now better suited for live and interactive sessions. Participant replies can be displayed immediately after posting, without waiting for the maximum editing time (typically 30 minutes) to expire.
This ensures that responses are visible to others in real time, enabling quicker reactions, more dynamic discussions, and the ability to address questions or share insights instantly during live teaching or collaboration scenarios.
Inactivity based forum locking: This enhancement introduces additional configuration options to the existing automatic locking functionality, allowing discussions to be locked after more varied periods of inactivity. New options include:
- Short-term durations (e.g. 2 days, 3 days) to support fast-paced or time-bound discussions
- Long-term durations (e.g. 2 years, 3 years, 5 years) for archival or compliance-driven use cases
This flexibility ensures that forum discussions can be managed in a way that aligns with different teaching styles, course lifecycles, and institutional policies.
LMS base font size: The default font size is set to 1rem/16px for improved readability.
Mejoras a Mobile App
We've introduced enhancements to give administrators greater control over the mobile app experience. This includes the ability to add custom menu items to the user profile and utilise a secure JavaScript allowlist to extend Moodle LMS functionality.
Custom User Menu Items: Administrators can now customise the mobile app experience by adding custom user menu items, using the existing custom menu format. This allows for the addition of links and shortcuts to relevant functionality or external pages directly within the user profile.
Secure Script Allowlist: A new setting in the Mobile app features section allows administrators to define an allowlist of approved JavaScript scripts. This ensures the safe inclusion of external scripts within user-generated content (like pages or forum posts), enabling functionality that relies on third-party JavaScript
Please note that the previous features will only be available in the Moodle mobile app version 5.2 onward.
Updated App Subscription Page and Settings: The Moodle app subscription page has been redesigned for clarity. It now better highlights the site's current mobile app plan, usage statistics, limits, and provides direct links for plan upgrades or management. Furthermore, Premium-related settings have been moved to a dedicated section to clearly indicate their availability based on the site's subscription status.
