Faculty: Welcome to Moodle 4.4!

by Eric Phetteplace -

Welcome to a brand new Moodle! We have upgraded to version 4.4. You will notice new features and an improved user interface for course home pages.

New Course Home Page

The course home page has been redesigned. There are new icons for activities and activity completion status is clearer than ever.

Better Activity Editing

Instructors will also notice a change in the Add an activity or resource button. It is easier than ever to insert an activity exactly where you want it, plus activity visibility and group settings are easier to modify from the course page. There are also Bulk actions that let you modify, move, or delete multiple activities at once. Simply enter Edit mode then click Bulk actions above the course's main menu to gain access to the bulk actions.

And more!

The Topics course format was renamed Custom Sections. It is much improved and has adopted some of the best features of Collapsed Topics, CCA's default course format.

To see the changes outlined above in action, check out the video below.


See Moodle.org's list of new features to learn about more new features. Note that CCA does not use all Moodle features, so some options listed on the official Moodle website may not exist.

We will update our Moodle documentation on Portal over the summer. If you have any questions about Moodle or any other instructional technologies, reach out to the Help Desk.

Faculty: Wrapping Up Your Spring Semester in Moodle

by Mingyu Li -

With the end of the Spring term only a few weeks away, we have provided the following checklist for you to verify your Moodle gradebook calculations and course settings. 

Gradebook

If you are using Moodle gradebook, please confirm the calculations match your planned grading breakdown and that your students have viewing access. 

unchecked Select an appropriate grading aggregation method. If the value of a graded item, such as an assignment, is determined by its maximum points, use “Natural.” If the value of an item is determined by its adjusted weight, use “Weighted Mean of Grades.

unchecked Enter "0"s for all student work that has not been submitted.

unchecked Unhide your gradebook so that students can access their grades in Moodle.

If you need help with Gradebook setup, feel free to contact Help Desk to schedule a one-on-one consultation with our Instructional Designer.

Note: Moodle is not CCA's academic system of record; all official grades should be submitted in Workday. Contact Student Records if you need more help. 

Course End Date

The default course end date for Spring 2025 Moodle courses is set to May 12, 2025. Once the date is reached, your course will remain classified as “In Progress” for a grace period of 7 days before changing over to “Past.” You and your students will still be able to access “Past” courses by adjusting the Course Overview filter after the grace period has elapsed. 

unchecked Confirm that your course end date is set to May 12, 2025. If you need to change to a different course end date or time to adjust the course status, see Editing Your Course Date for more.

Questions?

Contact the Instructional Services and Technology (InST) team at Help Desk or chat with us via the “Questions? Ask Us!” tab/button at the bottom of Moodle during regular business hours.
