What's new in Moodle™_ – Open LMS Support.pdf
McNeese will upgrade to Moodle 3.11.9 on Tuesday, December 20th at 12: 00 am. We anticipate that there will be approximately 8 hours of downtime, and McNeese's site will be restored and operational by 8:00 am.
For an overview of the new features and functionalities released in this version, you can read the attached PDF file "What's new in Moodle" which is provided by OpenLMS. McNeese and the eLearning Department have a partnership with OpenLMS to provide Moodle support and resources.
There is also some self-paced training in the Distance Education for Faculty course, which is located at the top of your Moodle Dashboard. Log in to Moodle, then open the course and scroll to two new topics:
Changes you will notice from Moodle 3.10 > 3.11
- Visual changes to completion tracking
