Instructors,

Our Moodle hosting provider needs to apply a software maintenance pack on Thursday, September 20th as well as make minor updates to their network infrastructure on Friday, September 28th.

During both of these updates, classes.lanecc.edu may be unreachable and or slow to respond. Please note that network maintenance occurring on September 28th may cut deadlines short for students finishing assignments due at midnight on Thursday (September 27). Actual downtime is typically less than the hours allotted, but please plan accordingly.

Moodle v3.4 Maintenance Scheduled for Thursday, September 20th:
Expect LCC Moodle to be unavailable between 12:30am-2:30am Pacific Standard Time (PST) on Thursday, September 20th. While this is mostly a routine update, there are 3 features that have been renamed. No new features, enhancements, and or additional changes have been made.

  • The activity "Moodlerooms Forums" has been renamed and is now called "Open Forums".
  • "Moodlerooms Grader" and "Moodlerooms Reports" have been renamed "Open Grader" and "Open Reports" respectively.

Moodle Host Firewall Maintenance Scheduled for Friday, September 28th:

Our Moodle Host will be performing scheduled maintenance to make minor updates to their network infrastructure on September 28, 2018 beginning late on Thursday, September 27, 2018 at 11:00 PM PST and ending early Friday morning, September 28, 2018 at 3:00 AM PST.

During that time period, classes.laneccc.edu may be unresponsive or intermittently available. The maintenance is required by our vendor to be fully supported and avoid service disruptions.
