Grid course format display issues
Expand |
---|
Update: The grid format display issue is resolved, however we have received reported incidents of the section totals being reduced to 1, with the appearance of orphaned sections. We are investigating this as a matter of urgency. In the meantime, changing the number of sections back to the original amount via the course settings may provide a temporary fix. You can change the number of sections via the course ‘Settings’ at the top of the course page. Image Removed Staff have reported issues with the Grid format display in Moodle, such as the example below. Image Removed The links to course content still work, but until the format is fixed the only way to fix the display is by changing the course format to a suitable alternative such as Custom. If you would like to keep the covering images for different sections, changing format risks losing them so we would advise you to download and save them until the course can be changed back to Grid format. The Digital Learning Environment team is investigating this issue and will resolve it as soon as possible. Panel |

Moodle Gradebook - error when editing grade item
Expand |
---|
Staff have reported encountering a 'gradesneedregrading' error when editing or viewing certain grade items in the Moodle gradebook. Image Removed This issue is usually caused by a category which has been set up with a manual calculation for its grade. When a course is rolled-overed and updated any references to grade items in a manual calculation need to be updated to ensure the calculation can occur. To resolve, check that your course grade total and any other categories have the correct formulas. |

Mobile - forum pages freeze when scrolling Expand |
---|
When browsing Moodle on a mobile device or with the UCL Go app, users may find that when viewing a forum digest, the screen freezes and they are unable to scroll further down the page. This is caused by Moodle's text editor. Moodle and consequently UCL is moving to a new text editor in future, which will resolve the issue. As a workaround, you can use the Home or My courses buttons to exit out of the forum digest page. To view forum digest pages, it is recommended that you view Moodle on a desktop device. Panel |

Flexible format is not optimised for Moodle 4.2 and users may encounter issues. Expand | The flexible Lecturecast embeds - Embedded Lecturecast recordings in Moodle showing an error message
Expand |
---|
Staff and students have reported seeing an error message for embedded Lecturecast recordings in Moodle. Image Added There is a workaround for this issue which involves the Tutor or Course Administrator changing the Moodle resource. The original embed links are in the format: href="https://moodle.ucl.ac.uk/filter/echo360/lti_launch.php?url=etc-etc" In order to make these work, you need to add the word tiny (without making it bold), so you get: href="https://moodle.ucl.ac.uk/filter/echo360tiny/lti_launch.php?url=etc-etc" There is no html view on the TinyMCE text editor, so you need to select Tools > Source code: Image Added
The Digital Learning Environment team released a fix on 12th November for most of the embedded recordings and we hope for a complete fix by 15th November. If you need an urgent fix for an embedded recording that's still broken, please use the above workaround. In the meantime, if this workaround does not solve your issue please fill out this MyServices form. |

Flexible format is not optimised for Moodle 4.2 and users may encounter issues.
Expand |

The flexible format is not a format maintained by UCL, it is a third-party plugin, which is out of support and will be retired in summer 2024. Currently, flexible format is not optimised for Moodle 4.2 which is UCL's current version of Moodle. The UCL's Digital Learning Environment team encourages users to use the Topics format instead where possible. If flexible format is used, users may encounter the following issues: The new Moodle bulk edit feature is not available for this course format. Users are unable to drag and drop content using the course index menu (the left hand menu). However they should still be able to move content by: - opening the relevant course,
- turning editing on
- opening the relevant section of content, and then
- using the cross-hair icons to drag and move content.
When deleting a section, error messages may occur: Image Added The Digital Learning Environment team is investigating the potential for a UCL bespoke format |
