Moodle Briefing Highlights

Core message

•Consistency is key, navigation is infinitely improved, robustness and stability underlying Moodle 4.1 architecture makes it more secure

•Small learning curve if you know how to Moodle, you continue to know how to Moodle. 

•Biggest boon to editors and students and us is the new quick nav bar at the left: the course index drawer!

Robuster architecture

More modern look and feel

Improved editing and navigation.

•The platform is now faster and more secure, with optimized performance and additional security measures in place.

Personalisation: Timeline Feature (for students on dashboard) pulls deadlines and due dates and the default dashboard can be personalised too.

Menus have been rethought making access to frequently used settings and links easier

Less clutter – hero image and summary have been removed from the top of courses, reducing scrolling.

Navigation examples:

Frequently used settings (dependent on role!) menu at top of each course,

Course Index allows users to move quickly to sections and items in the course directly.

For editors, in editing mode, that index can also be used to easily move sections and items and restructure the course.

In sum:

Robust, navigable, clean, personalisable, responsive and accessible, smarter editing!
