UCL has been running Moodle for a long time, and the platform has evolved and been updated to match the growing needs and expectations of staff and students. Each time this happens, as much content as possible is carried over from previous versions, but sometimes older content needs to be updated or removed in order to ensure that Moodle continues to run smoothly and can make the most of new functionality. Currently, some files uploaded to courses that were first created in earlier versions of Moodle, are stored in an outdated way, which soon will not be compatible with newer versions of Moodle. Hence, these so-called 'Legacy course files' need to be removed from courses. Any such files that are still in use however, will need to be downloaded and saved elsewhere before being added/uploaded again into their respective courses. This will ensure that they remain available/accessible to appropriate course users.
Please follow the instructions below to update your course by:
- Downloading and saving copies of any legacy course files
- Deleting these legacy course files from their Moodle course
- Adding or uploading the downloaded copies of the legacy files that are still in use on the course
