FoxTALE upgrade planned for Aug. 26, 2013

FoxTALE will be upgraded from Moodle version 2.2 to version 2.4 on Monday, Aug. 26, 2013, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., to stay in alignment with updates at moodle.org. FoxTALE will not be available during this time. No preparation is required by faculty.

Here are some of the highlights of the new version:

  • All icons will change. See the mapping from old to new icons.
  • Assignments will be enhanced and have a new look and feel. There is only one type of assignment with many customizable features.
    • Existing assignments will be automatically converted to the new format. No action is required.
  • Drag and drop files from your computer onto your course home page. The files will be added as resources.

Sign up now for one of the 30-minute webinars on Monday, April 29, that highlights the new version.
