In the digital age, the importance of online education has never been greater. Moodle LMS 4.5 is a key tool for educational institutions and businesses looking to improve their training programmes. In this article, we explore the new features of the latest version of Moodle and how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can transform your courses.
What’s new in Moodle LMS 4.5?
Moodle has released version 4.5, which includes a number of significant enhancements. Among the most notable are:
Artificial Intelligence Integration
This release enables educators to use AI to personalise the learning experience. From content recommendations to performance analysis, Moodle 4.5 provides the tools to help every student reach their full potential.
Generating text and images in the Moodle editor simplifies content creation, saving time and effort. AI-generated content is labelled to make it transparent, and automatic descriptions are added to generated images, making it easy to create inclusive and accessible learning materials.
Subsections
Moodle 4.5 introduces course subsections, a new course structuring tool that allows teachers to create nested sections to make course content easier to organise and navigate. With subsections, course designers can visually group related content, making it easy to create clear, sequential learning paths without the need for additional plug-ins.
For learners, subsections make it easier to visualise the relationships between content and to navigate through complex topics.
Assignments
The assignment activity has been improved to facilitate consistent grading and the assignment submission page has been redesigned to make it simpler and more intuitive for teachers and students.
Simplified assignment management helps teachers grade faster and more efficiently with improved filtering, fewer clicks and more intuitive navigation. A new option to automatically add extra attempts makes it easier to create a learning environment that provides continuous feedback to learners.
Badge system improvements
Moodle badges are an important incentive for students and recognition of their achievements.
In Moodle 4.5, teachers benefit from improved badge management workflows. Copying badges between courses is now easier, and the ability to duplicate badge names within a course offers more flexibility in tracking and rewarding student progress.
Advanced multimedia integration and screen recording
Improvements to media integration in Moodle LMS 4.5 make it faster and easier for educators to create and embed multimedia content in course materials.
All Moodle users can now record their screens directly into the text editor and easily add this content anywhere the text editor is used. Teachers can create dynamic learning content, such as tutorials or guides, and students can illustrate solutions with short screencasts.
Improved notifications for students
Moodle 4.5 has improved notifications to remind students of assignments and upcoming exams. This helps them make better use of their time and meet deadlines.
For teachers, automatic notifications eliminate the need for manual reminders, freeing up time to teach.
You can also watch the recording of the webinar where Antoni Bertran gave a tour of the platform and explained what’s new in the latest Moodle update.
