The VLE was upgraded to Moodle 4.1.11 during the Summer Recess (2024). This upgrade features bug fixes and some enhancements. There are no changes to the current layout and functionality of the VLE.
The icons of any uploaded file resource now match the type of file, e.g. a PDF icon will appear next to a PDF file.
Tutors can now reward students in their VLE study-unit areas with achievements in the form of badges [PDF]. These can be set up so that students receive the badge when they have fulfilled specific criteria that the tutor has set, for instance achieving a certain level in a test, completing particular study-unit activities and participating in forum discussions.
More information is available in the Using Badges [PDF] guide.
