UPEI is updating to a newer version of Moodle for the spring and summer session. Because of this, the courses for the Spring/Summer session are being generated on the upgraded version of Moodle. This version of Moodle is available at moodle31.upei.ca (courses will be available there).

What's new in new Moodle?

If you're familiar with using Moodle, the updated version will look and feel very similar to the previous version. We have a list of some of the new changes that have been made in the update: Moodle 3.1 : new features.

What if I have old teaching materials that I need for next semester?

If you have teaching materials from previous versions of your next semester courses, you can import those materials into the new version of Moodle by doing a Backup and Restore. We have a video that shows each step of the process which you can watch here: Moodle Backup and Restorehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D47ThVmqzA. The E-Learning Office will also be hosting working sessions where we will walk through the process, you can register through this form. The E-Learning Office is happy to help you backup and restore your materials if you need assistance.

Final grade submissions:

With the launch of myUPEI, Moodle will be the where final grades are submitted. If you keep track of your grades in Moodle or with a spreadsheet like Excel or Google Spreadsheets, this should make final grade submissions easier. We go over the changes in a bit more detail on this blog post.

We will be running workshop sessions on Final Grade Entry and the Moodle Gradebook. You can sign up for these workshops here.
