VIT Vellore's Moodle Infrastructure

Dear all,

We have successfully migrated our Moodle infrastructure to 4.2 version along with the update to the underlying server software. 

With Moodle 4.2, some nice features are also available for the teachers.  You will see a 'Bulk Edit' button in the edit mode. When you click the same, you will be able to select items that you would like to modify.  Check any one of the boxes and the 'Select All' button will get enabled.  Now you can 'Hide / Show',  'Duplicate', multiple activities or resources. Please ensure that you 'Delete' with care.  YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESTORE DELETED ACTIVITIES or RESOURCES.

You will now be able to bulk hide activities or resources that you would have shared with your students with far fewer clicks.

Our hearty thanks to our CTS team for helping us with the upgrade process.

We thank you for your patience.  We have not been able to find another suitable time for this update, and we are sure that you will very much be enjoying a better experience - Thanks to this update.

With Regards,

The Moodle Support Team

Dear All,

We have scheduled maintenance between 01st August 2023 [12:00 Noon] and 02nd August 2023 [02:00 PM].  The hardware on which Moodle is currently operating requires a scheduled update.  With this new infrastructure, we are undertaking such an operation for the first time and are projecting a longer downtime.  However, we will keep the downtime to a minimum.  We request that no tests, assignments or submissions are scheduled during this period. 

We do not have an alternate time and are forced to utilise the selected window to apply these mandatory patches.  The infrastructure will be made available immediately on the 'gp-ahead' from the vendor for our use.

Thank you so much for understanding.

With Regards,
