These are the local changes that teachers are most likely to see while editing a course.

• Course sections are less noisy for students. Empty sections are hidden from students, and the course index starts in a cleaner collapsed state. TimeEdit StudyGuide links appear automatically at the top. 
• Single-section pages open only with direct links to avoid confusion. Teachers can open an individual section view from the section controls; students can use the local view icon when editing is off.
  The course index navigates on the full page instead of opening the single-section pages.
• Section controls can be added at section control individually (normal Moodle behaviour allows this only below the last section)
• Additional activity information available from the main course page, (e.g number of submissions, Turnitin enabled)
• Forms are tuned for common teaching work. Common activity forms have CEU-specific defaults, Page, Wiki, Forum, Feedback, Folder, Choice, Quiz, Publication, and other frequently used forms require less repetitive setup; Page and Wiki forms also provide clearer content fields and help.
• Activity descriptions are shown by default. This reduces accidental hidden instructions when teachers create resources or activities.
• The rich-text editor can be changed for an individual field. Teachers can switch between Atto and Tiny directly below a text area when one editor works better for the content being edited. The selected editor preference is retained.
• The editor preference includes a default content licence. Teachers can set the licence attached to newly created content alongside their editor preference.
• Quiz editing has more visible controls. Adding a question and editing a section heading are easier to identify.
• File and activity icons are clearer. Familiar PDF, Excel, LTI, Perusall, and Panopto icons are restored or adjusted where needed.
• URLs that point directly to files remain direct file links. Moodle content filters do not unexpectedly rewrite these resource links.
• Course summary visibility follows CEU categories. Teachers can make the summary public or restrict it to CEU users or course members. The summary is also shown in the course footer, while course codes receive a useful default and are checked for invalid values.
• Participants, gradebook, groups, and category menus are locally simplified. Frequently used actions are more visible and less buried in deep menus.
• Gradebook setup exposes the important structure controls. Local tabs make navigation clearer, and teachers can change the aggregation method directly from the setup page.
• Participant lists can be downloaded directly to Excel. Teachers do not need to enter the gradebook simply to export the course user list, and active users are the default participant view.
• Group management is reorganized. Groups, groupings, overview, member management, and the Add group action are easier to reach from the redesigned group pages.

CEU Moodle uses local workflows around SITS, CEU accounts, external users, and Microsoft sign-in.

• Bulk enrolment accepts email lists. Teachers and coordinators can add existing CEU and external users more quickly and can optionally send an enrolment notification.
• Active CEU users can be added even before they have completed their Moodle account. The system can handle CEU users who are valid but have not yet logged in.
• Authorized staff can invite or create external users while enrolling them. Pending invited users receive clear guidence. Login and forgotten-password messages can tell users clear information what to do.
• CEU users sign in through Microsoft. If they are already signed in to Office 365 in the browser, the Microsoft button provides quick access. CEU users, external users, alumni, unknown users, and invited users are treated differently, and accidental new OAuth account creation is blocked.
• Profile visibility is restricted for privacy. External users can view profiles only where they share a course; CEU profile access is also limited to relevant, current course relationships and active users.
• Welcome messages can be sent for all enrolment methods. SITS, manual enrolment, and self-enrolment can all trigger a message whose email template can be supplemented by the teacher. This is useful for ensuring that late-enrolling students receive important course information.
• Students can see unpublished current-year registered courses in their course list. This reassures them that SITS registration worked even before the teacher opens the course.
• Guest access has CEU-specific privacy levels. Standard Guest can view resources but not activities containing student names or submitted work. Enhanced Guest can also see student-visible contributions and the participant list, so it always requires an access key.
• Guest access always expires. Keyless access defaults to one month and is limited to three months; keyed access defaults to twelve months and is limited to twenty-four months. Teachers receive a reminder 24 hours before expiry and can renew access.
• Access Control can open a course to CEU self-enrolment. Teachers can allow CEU students to join with or without a course key. This provides Moodle access but does not replace official SITS registration. Self-enrolment are restricted to CEU users. This prevent external accounts from self-enrolling.
• Students who dropped a course in SITS may remove themselves from Moodle. The local unenrolment link makes the resulting course-list cleanup clearer.
• Protected exam windows can restrict access. During an active protected exam, affected students can be directed back to the exam course while other access is restricted.

Assignment setup, grading, extensions, and plagiarism-checking include several CEU-specific shortcuts.

• Turnitin status is visible from the assignment link and summary area. Teachers can quickly see whether Turnitin is enabled.
• Turnitin can process existing submissions after activation. If Turnitin is enabled after students have already submitted, existing papers can be sent in the background.
• Quick grading and advanced grading are separated. Quick grading is easier to find, while advanced grading remains available.
• The grading table shows direct Edit and Grade actions. Common grading actions are not hidden behind multiple small menus.
• The grading table shows 50 submissions by default. Larger classes require less paging during routine grading.
• Extensions default to one week. Granting an extension is faster and gives clearer confirmation.
• Blind marking codes are easier to manage. Students can see the secret code linked to their submission, authorized coordinators can download the codes, and the marking order is shuffled more thoroughly.
• Feedback ZIP files accept names or blind marking codes. Bulk feedback upload can match files using either the username or the anonymous marking code.
• Students who have not submitted can still modify work after the due date. If editing is blocked, the student sees an explanatory message instead of an unhelpful button.
• Final course grades use CEU-friendly display. Course totals can show percentage plus letter grade, with historical thresholds preserved where needed.
• Moodle grades are not submitted to SITS automatically. Teachers can calculate and export grades in Moodle, but official grades still need to be entered in SITS.
• Due-soon notifications can be suppressed deliberately. This is useful for special assignments or quizzes where the automatic reminder would be inappropriate.

Communication tools have local wording, extra metadata, and extra options for specific teaching needs.

• Forum posting messages are clearer. Status and confirmation messages have been rewritten to reduce confusion.
• Every course has a Main Course Forum. Both teachers and students can post there, and it is intended for important course-wide news and questions. Participants receive forum posts by email according to the subscription settings.
• Forum posts can show pronouns where profile data is available. This is a local addition to forum display.
• Anonymous/Open Forum is available. It supports discussions where student identity should be hidden; teachers can reveal themselves per post if needed.
• Forum + Turnitin can support special workflows. Hidden forums can be used in specific cases to send text or files to Turnitin, but this should be used carefully.

Copying previous course content is one of the most customized workflows.

• The complicated course reuse menu is modified, teachers can access all important actions from import.
• Import search finds matching course codes. Previous versions of a course can be offered even when the title changed.
• Teachers can check the source course more easily. The local import workflow includes a source-check link to reduce accidental copying from the wrong course.
• The current course is removed from import choices. This reduces accidental self-import and duplicate content. Duplicate main course forums are prevented. Restores and imports are safer for courses with existing main forums.
• Import has a fast-track route. The local workflow removes an unnecessary confirmation step when the standard import choices are sufficient.
• Course images can be copied. If the target course does not already have an image, the image from the source course can be imported.
• Sharing Cart supports selective reuse. Teachers can store individual activities or full sections and copy them into another course. More information
• Mass Actions supports bulk editing. Teachers can apply actions to several activities or resources at once. More information

The course list and search tools are adjusted for CEU academic-year and registration workflows.

• The course list at the dashboard is CEU-specific. It can show filters by Academic years and categories, helpful links to the relevant departments, course images, and current unpublished registered courses.
• Instructors can create their own courses from the dashboard easier than before, with data imported from Timeedit.
• Dashboard filters avoid a common trap. Changing the year filter resets category to All, and changing category resets year to All, so old combined filters do not hide courses accidentally.
• My Courses choices are used consistently. Courses hidden on the Dashboard and the selected academic-year or category view are reflected in other CEU course lists, including drawer and header navigation.
• Long-absent users receive safer defaults. Confusing saved course-list and menu preferences can be reset after a long hiatus.
• A precise course search is available. It searches continuous text by default and supports AND between terms when needed. Open course search

These are additional or locally customized tools that teachers may see in CEU Moodle.

These tools are not necessarily enabled in every course. Teachers can ask to try them when they match a teaching need.

• Active / Guided Quiz: live instructor-led quiz sessions with real-time responses and gradebook recording.
• Scheduler: appointment booking with individual or group time slots.
• Certificate: creates personalized PDF certificates for students when the configured course or activity conditions are met.
• Wordcloud: collaborative word clouds with exportable images and data, including group support.
• Protected exam restrictions: access restriction windows for special exam situations, configured by authorized staff.

These changes mostly matter when Moodle behaves more cautiously or more clearly than generic instructions describe.

• Accessibility fixes are applied across the interface. Menus, messaging, course index, forms, templates, focus behaviour, screen-reader labels, and visual states have local repairs.
• Uploaded HTML and executable files are handled more safely. HTML files may download or open separately instead of being embedded inside Moodle pages; executable uploads are blocked, and missing filename extensions can be restored.
• Unsafe pasted HTML may be cleaned. Comment and plain-text fields remove risky markup.
• Bookmarks and related local blocks include XSS and reliability fixes. These are not usually visible, but they make course tools safer.
• Background maintenance reduces visible failures. Local fixes cover SITS connection errors, assignment processing, PDF conversion, email images, filenames with spaces, and scheduled tasks.
• Personal data requests provide two downloads. Users can choose a complete Moodle export or a cleaned, readable export organized by course. The cleaned version removes technical files and converts selected forum, assignment, wiki, and grade data into accessible HTML.
