New Moodle Version – for more Security and Functionality

The ZDV upgraded Moodle to version 4.1 on October 4th, with a primary focus on improving security. The new version is equipped with Long Term Support (LTS), allowing for extended operation and support.

Another technical aspect: The website address (URL) for the learning platform Moodle will change to moodle.uni-mainz.de. ZDV will automatically redirect you from the previous address. The website address (URL) for the learning platform Moodle will change to moodle.uni-mainz.de. In addition, during this change, the system name will be changed from JGU-LMS to Moodle.

In addition to the technical aspects, the new version offers a number of functional and visual changes and improvements, which mainly affect the navigation and some controls.

The Team of Digital Learning summarized the main adjustments: Neue Moodle-Version 4 – auf einen Blick | Digitale Lehre (uni-mainz.de) (german only)

In addition, training courses will be offered in October: https://digitale-lehre.uni-mainz.de/tools/neue-moodle-version-4-auf-einen-blick/#Supportangebote
