However, when planning the move to Moodle 4 in 2023, compatibility issues with the custom Snap-based theme arose, so Bayes turned to <a href=\"\">Moodle Premium Partner 3ipunt<\/a> to ensure a smooth and seamless upgrade. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Challenge_Simple_and_intuitive_learning_platform\"><\/span>Challenge: Simple and intuitive learning platform<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Bayes Digital Learning&#8217;s (BDL) mission was to transform the online learning experience. They wanted to create an <strong>intuitive platform<\/strong> that would allow students to focus on what really matters: learning. By minimising cognitive load and optimising usability, we aimed to make every interaction with our platform simple and enjoyable.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The <strong>design&#8217;s visual aesthetics had to align with the school&#8217;s corporate image<\/strong>, drawing on prestigious journalism and business publications. However, choosing a non-standard theme for the Moodle LMS presented some risks, as small changes to the system could compromise its functionality and stability. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/tresipunt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/unnamed-6-1024x628.png\" alt=\"simple and intuitive educational platform\" class=\"wp-image-33167\" style=\"width:670px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tresipunt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/unnamed-6-1024x628.png 1024w, https:\/\/tresipunt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/unnamed-6-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/tresipunt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/unnamed-6-768x471.png 768w, https:\/\/tresipunt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/unnamed-6-1536x942.png 1536w, https:\/\/tresipunt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/unnamed-6.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>City University of London&#8217;s decision to adopt Moodle LMS 4 and the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.moodle.org\/en\/Boost_theme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boost<\/a> theme presented a significant challenge.
