On Saturday, May 2, cuLearn will be getting its annual upgrade, going from Moodle version 2.6.2 to version 2.8.3.

The annual upgrades are a means of continually improving the system. The overall look and feel will be very similar to the current version, however there will be significant improvements to the gradebook and the overall system performance, including:

  • Improved multidirectional scrolling on all devices
  • Grade history tracking
  • Single view report
  • Improved user report interface
  • Enhanced quiz building

Please note that this upgrade will take place within the 10-day period for the submission of final grades to the E-Grade system for approval. If you plan to calculate grades in cuLearn, please download them to your computer prior to May 2, because the cuLearn gradebook will not be available from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. on this date. If you need any help with this, please contact kirk.davies@carleton.ca.

This upgrade will not affect any data and content added by instructors and you will be able to continue to work on your courses after 2 p.m. on May 2.

For a more detailed description of the changes in the upcoming Moodle 2.8.3 version of cuLearn, please visit the cuLearn updates page.

If you have any questions about the upgrade, contact the EDC at edc@carleton.ca.
