Moodle upgrade

03/08/10
The annual upgrades to Moodle will take place on Tuesday 3rd August and although there should be limited downtime, it should be considered at risk all day. The upgrades have two elements this year - a series of software enhancements, and also changes to reflect the new structure of the University.
Further details are available on the Moodle Support Course (http://services.moodle.gla.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=318).
