The Call for Proposals for the Moodle Showcase is now open. Please consider sharing your knowledge and discoveries during our sprint sessions (20 minutes). Please see the call for proposals (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-EBGHuenxf72QT6TdngjQyhBIRjVMwv9pOu0jpWhbbM/edit?usp=sharing) for a full description of the event and submission link. The CfP will remain open through May 15.
The hackathon at Carleton will take place from Tuesday, June 28 through Thursday, June 30. Registration will open once we’ve finalized a few details.
There are three new Moodle: Liberal Arts Edition releases. There are no new LAE features; these are maintenance releases only. You can download the updates from the CLAMP code release archive.
The next stable releases are scheduled for mid-January. CLAMP evaluated Moodle 3.11 at the Summer 2021 Hack/Doc Fest; please see CLAMP’s report for details. CLAMP will preview Moodle 4.0 at the next CLAMP Chat, scheduled for Friday, November 19. Please see the announcement for more information.
These releases were developed, packaged, and tested by Charles Fulton (Lafayette College).
CLAMP’s second CLAMP Chat for the 2021-2022 academic year will take place on Friday, November 19, from 2:00-3:00 PM Eastern Time. Andrew Ruether from Swarthmore College will preview the forthcoming Moodle 4.0 release, scheduled for January 2022. Focused mainly on improving the user interface, the new version claims to make it easier for teachers and students to navigate the system and access and edit content. Will you want to upgrade quickly or cling to earlier versions for as long as possible? Join us to get a sneak peek at the new interface and decide for yourself if the revamp was successful! We’ll do a tour of the updates and dive into any questions you have.
The chat will take place over Zoom. Please register for the chat using this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwpdu2orD0iGdae-OmESzrrA9swOzOrsFap.
