When viewing a single item in the Gradebook, staff may see an error messageStaff have reported encountering a 'gradesneedregrading' error when editing or viewing certain grade items in the Moodle gradebook.

This issue is a Moodle issue that the UCL Digital Learning Environment team is monitoring and will deploy a fix when available.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. 

When going to Report > Logs in Moodle you can see the Full Name, but when downloading the logs into Excel the "User full name" column is empty. The Affected user column is unaffected.

Moodle has found a fix for this which will be deployed in our next release.

When revealing individual identities within a Turnitin assignment you will see the following error, however the process does work and after refreshing the web browser page you will notice that the identity is revealed.

Turnitin are currently investigating this issue. 

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.

Drop menus in the Gradebook can appear behind the last row of the Gradebook table.

For example, the menu below should show "user report" under the option "single view for this user" however this option appears behind the last row (in grey) and so cannot be sceen.

The issue has been logged with Moodle to resolve.

A number of features have degraded in the MyFeedback tool.

The Print and Export to Excel do not currently work.

It is not possible to add self-reflective notes.

The option to paste general feedback from Turnitin does not work.
