- Moodle 4.4 is almost here. So, in perhaps my most unplanned, unscripted, and messy video ever, I take a look at the Moodle 4.4 Beta and compare it directly with Moodle 4.3.
Timestamps:
0:28 Login page now allows displaying password
2:34 Smaller (quieter) activity icons
3:05 Sections now hold together (one big jellybean)
4:00 Individual pages for each section
5:25 "Topics" course format now called "Custom sections"
6:00 More descriptive options in the course settings (format dropdown)
6:42 In forums "Post a copy to all groups" now easier to find
8:10 Not actually implemented - just my wish - having TinyMCE in forum inline replies... Please!!! (my wish for say, 4.5)
9:38 Accessing single section page with editing on
10:24 Looking at the activity icons (especially seeing the odd ones out - H5P and BBB)
11:58 Adding an image in the TinyMCE editor is now far less cryptic
14:40 New question type - Ordering
16:48 "Bulk user actions" is starting to get merged with "Browse list of users" (with new filter interface)
19:36 Everything going behind dropdowns - the saga continues (yeah, I have a bit of a whine here)
24:16 New report source - Roles (yay..)
25:42 Theme usage report (kind of cool if you use multiple themes)
26:12 "Theme settings" have moved around a bit
27:09 MFA now supports SMS as a factor (needs an external SMS sending provider - yeah, I don't like SMS as an authentication factor ;-) )
29:40 Quizzes now show when the answers were last saved (doesn't appear until 31:03 )
32:00 Other features (like the Matrix integration) exist that I mention, but don't cover
33:04 Recent problem experienced with question bank ( tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL... )
34:44 Overall, I like the new look and feel. The UX feels more polished.
36:33 Outro - rather comical and/or pathetic request that people "smash that subscribe button"
Thank you for showcasing the changes between these two releases. I like how you not only show the features, but also show how to configure those settings. Thank you! BTW: I am also distracted by your mouse cursor!😆🤣
I also like how you add additional thoughts about what kind of features would be nice to have. I also wish to have the editor appear in the quick reply section in the forum.
Love the drag-n-drop on the file picker... I still hate all the steps needed just to add a file. Less clicks preferred.
Go Gordon Bateson! Awesome question type!
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you liked it. Definitely want that editor in the inline replies in the forum.
Yes, wise cat is BACK! I now use Moodle at my university. Thank you!
Glad to hear that Todd. Welcome back! Let's Moodle up together sometime soon.
Yes, let’s and thanks for these great tutorials
You're too kind
I really hope Moodle has a Light/Dark toggle feature. This feature is becoming a standard in the web design domain. I know there are paid themes with this feature, but there is huge risk. If anything goes wrong with the provider, the design and branding of my moodle site will become insustainable.
Absolutely! Though not perfect as a darkmode substitute, perhaps the accessibility plugin might help? moodle.org/plugins/local_accessibility At least, you can have some control over the colours with the accessibility plugin installed.
I love your Moodle videos, congratulations!!
I have a question, what happens in Moodle 4.4 if you want to show the size of a file?
Version 4.3 creates a line that generates greater vertical displacement. Using CSS I have been able to leave Moodle 4.3 looking similar to 3.11 in terms of scrolling, but I have not been able to eliminate that line.
I have also not been able to eliminate the vertical spacing that is now created when you create a label solely with a as a separation between activities... Let's see if now with 4.4 the issue of vertical scrolling improves a little.
All the best.
Thanks a lot for the great question! I just made a video on this. th-cam.com/video/pHk5Dl0MA_A/w-d-xo.html
Quite a nice rabbit hole your question sent me down. Great fun! Thanks again!
Hi. I tried the accessibility plugin. Nice work! My users can adjust the font style and color now. But there is a problem with the navbar background color.
It only changes the color of the block inside the navbar instead of the entire navbar.
Also, if when I change background to a dark color and the font to a bright color, the links on the navbar stay black.
Thanks for trying it out. Yes, being a new plugin, there are still some tweaks that need to be made. One recent tweak stops it from being duplicated in H5P activities. Appreciate the feedback, thanks!
