Instructors,
⚠️ Service Interruption: Summer Upgrade to Moodle v3.8
Our Moodle host will be performing a scheduled software upgrade on Thursday, July 9th from 12:30am to approximately 6:30am -- (I had incorrectly listed this as Thursday July 11th on previous communications).
During this update, classes.lanecc.edu will be unreachable, intermittent and or slow to respond. Actual downtime is typically less than the hours allotted, but please plan accordingly.
Moodle v3.8 adds a few new features, enhancements, and bug fixes.
Here’s what we’re most excited about:
Forums can now be graded instead of using the clunky rating system. If you use forums a lot, and like to grade participation, this feature alone might be a game changer! Other forum improvements include:
- Display the entire discussion for a post being graded
- Grading option to notify students or search for specific students
- Exportable detailed summary report of student forum activity
- A new experimental nested discussion view.
