Moodle 2.2+ Upgrade


CPCC has migrated from Moodle 1.9 to Moodle 2.2. The new version of Moodle was activated on July 26, 2012. Moodle course shells for the Fall 2012 will run in the new version.

There are substantial differences from the previous version of Moodle. Several new features will make your teaching more fruitful while others will need some time to learn. Moodle 2.x brings many enhancements such as: improved performance, updated look and feel, enhanced navigation, conditional activities, completion tracking options, assignment rubric grading options, a more robust HTML editor, and much more!

eLearning will be partnering with ITS Learning Technologies and the CPCC Help Desk to make this transition smoother. For your convenience, we have scheduled several training sessions. Please check LearnerWeb for scheduled trainings and registration.

When is this process taking place?
Moodle will be offline from Monday July 23 , 2012 through Wednesday July 25, 2012 while the upgrade to Moodle 2.2 is performed.

Will I still automatically have access to my courses? And will my students still be automatically enrolled?
Yes. All automatic processes will operate as they did prior to the migration.

How can I learn about the changes in Moodle 2.2 and get help preparing my course for Fall?
For your convenience, eLearning and ITS will be holding several  face-to-face sessions to help ensure your course migrated properly as well as covering an overview of Moodle 2.2 new features.
