- Course editing, navigation and notification improvements
1. Collapsed sections can be viewed as individual pages, either by:
- Clicking on the icon at the right side of the section name with edit mode off, or
- Selecting ‘Section view’ in the section menu with edit mode on
- You can also collapse and expand all sections in the course index
2. Activity and resource menus contain an 'Availability' option.
This allows you to toggle between availability modes (show, hide, or make available).
3. Topics are renamed to "Sections" or "custom sections" in the edit menu.
4. New notification messages for students
Students now receive notifications for upcoming assignments (24 hours before the due date). Also we have a new notification when a Quiz is about to open.
New search courses bar at the bottom of the course list
The core Moodle course search box does search in many fields (such as summaries) which can return overly broad results.
I have designed a new search bar that uses exact match logic, so by default you search for a continuous match.
If you prefer AND logic, simply insert the word AND between your search terms. This will return results containing both words, even if they are not next to each other.
I hope our newly developed function will make searching for courses in Moodle much easier and more precise.

Structural enhancements
These improvements are not directly visible to end users, but many core functions have been redesigned to make the site safer and faster. Minor bugs have been fixed, and several underlying issues—such as SITS connection errors, faulty assignment submissions, and PDF conversion problems—have been resolved.
Also many regularly running tasks were made more effective, taking less time.
