Registration is now open for the Winter 2023 Hack/Doc Fest, which will be held at Swarthmore College from January 10 through January 12, 2023. CLAMP’s Hack/Doc Fests are twice-yearly unconference-style events dedicated to improving the Moodle experience for liberal arts colleges. The main focus of this event will be upgrading from Moodle 3.x to Moodle 4.x.

New Moodle LAE Releases for September 2022

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-November. CLAMP evaluated Moodle 4.0 at the Winter 2022 Hack/Doc Fest and again at Carleton in June. Please see CLAMP’s reports from Carleton (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3) for additional details.

New Moodle LAE Releases for August 2022

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. These releases come three weeks ahead of schedule and incorporate a security fix from Moodle core. The precise nature of the fix will be disclosed on August 29.

The next stable releases are scheduled for mid-September. CLAMP evaluated Moodle 4.0 at the Winter 2022 Hack/Doc Fest and again at Carleton in June. Please see CLAMP’s reports from Carleton (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3) for additional details.

New Moodle LAE Releases for July 2022

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-September. CLAMP evaluated Moodle 4.0 at the Winter 2022 Hack/Doc Fest and again at Carleton in June. Please see CLAMP’s reports from Carleton (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3) for additional details.

New Moodle LAE 4.0 Release

CLAMP has prepared its first Moodle 4.0 release. This contains updates to all the contributed modules to ensure compatibility with Moodle 4.0. You can download the release from the CLAMP code release archive. This release is something of a beta; we think it’s fine, but we know of at least one minor issue with anonymous forums that we intend to address within the next few weeks.

We expect the next stable releases from core in mid-July. CLAMP evaluated Moodle 4.0 at the Winter 2022 Hack/Doc Fest and again at Carleton last week. Please see CLAMP’s reports from Carleton (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3) for additional details.
