Moodle keeps getting better and there’s always a lot of interest in what’s new with each updated version. Over the last year, we’ve been working with our clients to upgrade them to Moodle 4 after many years of great results from the venerable 3.x platform.

The move to Moodle 4.x was a huge milestone for Moodle. As well as myriad architectural improvements to create a foundation for future developments, Moodle 4 saw the introduction of a brand new modernized user interface, enhanced editing, improved question bank, and tons of administrator updates. Version 4.1 was the first Long Term Support (LTS) release of the Moodle 4 era, and remains the recommended option for those who value less frequent upgrades over regular upgrades. 

For those keen to stay up to date with the latest features, Moodle 4.2 brings a wealth of new and updated capabilities to Moodle LMS. Here’s the top 10:

• Easier Course Page Editing
• Course Hierarchy Layout with Visual Hierarchy restored (it was taken out in 4.0!)
• Bulk Course Editing
• New Report Sources – Comments and Badges
• Gradebook and Grader Report Improvements
• TinyMCE as the default editor
• Quiz Improvements with Customisable Question Numbers
• Direct Messaging within Assignment grading
• Integration with Matrix Chat Rooms 
• Integration with MoodleNet

Although this list is for Moodle LMS, keep an eye out for Moodle Workplace 4.2 which will follow soon, with all the above and further Workplace-specific improvements to Report Builder, branding enhancements – with auto color generation for tenants, new block management and lots more.
