TI3 Support Moodle 4 Upgrade via change management pathways

TI3 Deliverables:

• Review and update Moodle user facing documentation  - CTP-1987: Review and update Moodle user facing documentation

  • What: Update the UCL Moodle Staff and Student Wiki to reflect any changes caused by the move to Moodle 4.2. Identify any other connected resources that may require updating.

  • Why: ???.

  • Dependency: ? / Risk: ?

• Create and deliver staff training on the new version of Moodle 4.2 - CTP-1988: Create and deliver staff training on the new version of Moodle 4.2

  • What: To deliver the change from Moodle 3.11 to Moodle 4.2 this summer, the VLE team need to provide training materials in several areas for Teaching Staff and Administrative staff. Since the VLE team does not have the resources to implement this fully, the team will be working with external partners to produce the materials and with a feature lead/coordinator to ensure that training is delivered on time. The approach we will be taking is to construct a core training package for staff on the new and changed features between 3.11 and 4.0/4.1/4.2. We will create a train-the-trainer programme so that FLTL's, departmental learning technologists and others can be trained in the changes and the materials so that they can deliver the training in their departments/faculties. 

  • Why: ???.

  • Dependency: ? / Risk: ?

• Create and deliver student guidance on the new version of Moodle 4.2 - CTP-1989: Create and deliver student guidance on the new version of Moodle 4.2
