Moodle 4.5 Upgrade Rescheduled to August 12!

TLT, ITS, and Moodle US Support determined that some additional maintenance is necessary in order to ensure a successful upgrade. So as not to disrupt course preparation for Summer A 2025 term, TLT is working with Moodle US to reschedule the upgrade for Tuesday, August 12, immediately following the Summer B 2025 term and two weeks before the Fall 2025 semester.

Moodle 4.5 provides a number of feature enhancements while still maintaining a similar look and navigation to version 4.1. Learn More
