New Moodle Assignment grading interface (annotate PDF assignments online).
- NB - Initially this will only be enabled for PDFs at UCL, however other formats will be enabled soon.
- New Turnitin Assignment grading interface (Feedback Studio replaces GradeMark, with similar functionality, but the menu items now appear to the right).
Competency based frameworks (these are set up centrally so please contact Digital Education)
Pinned forums discussion topics (to keep important topics at the top)
- Staff can check the ‘pinned’ checkbox when adding/editing a post and these will appear before all the other posts at the top of the discussion forum, with a pin icon alongside the title.
***As with any new system, you will notice a few changes/ improvements within new Moodle. These include:***
- New landing page- To give you access to Legacy Moodle and Moodle 2018/19
- New course overview page: You will notice three tabs. In progress, Future and Past. Courses appear under each of these tabs based on the course start and end dates within a course. If you do not see your course after you initial log-in, check under each of these three tabs. Course start end dates can be edited by doing the following: Navigate to the course > Administration> Edit settings.
- Colour scheme, layout and view options to improve navigation and accessibility. This inlcudes the ‘My courses’ and ‘This Course’ tabs at the top of each Moodle page, the ability to ‘Dock’ and ‘Undock’ blocks and also switch between ‘Standard’ and ‘Full screen’ view. These options allow user's to personalise the way they navigate within Moodle.
