CLE Upgraded to Moodle 3.9

Here are some of the new and improved features of the CLE!

H5P full integration

Moodle 3.9 brings full H5P (HTML5 Package) integration to the CLE. Course builders can create a wide variety of interactive content, including quizzes, presentations, games, interactive media, etc. Gradebook integration and activity tracking for H5P modules are also included. H5P modules can be managed through a Content Bank available in each course. More information is available about the Moodle/H5P integration and H5P.

Improved activity chooser

Course builders will now see an improved activity chooser in Moodle 3.9. The chooser appears when editing is turned on and you click on the Add an activity or resource link. The new activity chooser presents options in a much more accessible way. Favorite options can be starred for quick access later.

Participants filter enhancements

In Moodle 3.9, searching through and filtering large participant lists is much more efficient.

Embedded media improvements

This upgrade also includes improvements for embedding media from Media@UCSF (Kaltura). The new embed settings page allows for the selection of different players. For example, it now includes a player with the download option enabled. Audio file embedding is handled more smoothly and now uses a dedicated audio player.
