Upgrading Moodle is a challenge at the best of times. With so many interesting plugins out there (not to mention core itself); any upgrade is sure to have some degree of challenge.

In this presentation Cameron will cover Catalyst's approach for upgrading a huge Moodle installation from 3.9 to 4.1 covering:

• History of this large site;
• Overall approach for the upgrade;
• Codebase audit strategy and techniques;
• Database audit strategy and techniques;
• Data and configuration migration strategy and techniques.

Join us for this highly entertaining session, voted number 1 favourite at MoodleMoot Global 2023, as Cameron takes you on their roller coaster ride of a journey to upgrade the largest Moodle in the Southern Hemisphere.

Involving students as partners in the assessment process helps develop assessment literacy, support student engagement, and recognises students’ agency and their being experts in their own learning. Moreover, it helps support academic integrity and universal design for learning. Technology can play a key role in facilitating assessment partnership between educators and students.

This webinar will share the experiences of Dublin City University (DCU) in utilising core and third-party Moodle tools to support assessment partnership, and encourage other educators to adopt these approaches into their own practice.

UCL Moodle is one of the biggest Moodle installations in Europe. It provides an essential arena for the teaching and learning of UCL’s 51,000 students and 16,000 staff. It is also an incredibly complex Moodle that combines third party cloud infrastructure, third party development, around 200 plugins some local and some from the community, and internal Agile based development.

In order to upgrade from Moodle 3.11 to Moodle 4.2 in 2023, the central Moodle team engaged in a process of UX and data led discovery and analysis to re-design its landing page, dashboard, and identify areas for future course format and plugin development. Many of the results were surprising and revealed the importance of continually engaging with end users when trying to evaluate and roadmap Moodle development.

This presentation will outline the methods of UX and data analysis used at UCL and the results. It will further show how these methods can be adapted at other institutions looking to improve their Moodle.

In this Moodle Academy webinar we are delighted to host Svein-Tore Griff With, the founder of H5P,  to take us through the process of creating H5P content in a fraction of the time it used to take with the help of generative AI. Svein-Tore will demonstrate how you can create fully fledged interactive courses in minutes with H5P.

In this webinar you will learn the importance of focusing on the users and the problems they face during the UX Design Thinking process. The webinar will be delivered by UX and Product Experience experts from Moodle HQ.
We will provide an overview of the 5 phases of the Design Thinking process, with a focus on the first two stages Empathise and Define. 

We will use a case study from recent Moodle core development (the Activity Cards redesign) to explain some of the tools used at Moodle HQ and show the results of the work, including the final designs, compared to the original user interface.

This webinar is based on a workshop that the UX team at Moodle HQ shared with attendees of the UX Jam at MoodleMoot Global 2023 in Barcelona.

During this webinar you will learn how the World Bank team adapted Moodle for its Evoke Project to engage youth to develop 21st century skills.  The webinar will share how the team included elements of gamification including skill badges, leaderboards, digital currency, and a marketplace together with a socially enhanced portfolio of evidence to engage out of school youth in Honduras and Guatemala.
