Greetings, all! A quick round-up of links to info and UCL sites about Moodle 4.2:

ETA: The date and time for this upgrade have now been confirmed: 9am. Thursday 27th July.

Moodle 4.2 Preview Site: https://4-demo.preview-moodle.ucl.ac.uk/ all staff can log in, and check any 2022/23 Moodle page to see how it will look in Moodle 4.2. Please note: this is NOT the forthcoming Moodle 4.2 site, and nothing that is done to, or changed, on these pages will be retained, it is for information only.

Moodle 4.2 Wiki: https://wiki.ucl.ac.uk/display/MoodleResourceCentre/Moodle+4.2+Pre-release+resources – links to training courses, self-paced learning, FAQs and more info from the central Moodle team.

DigiEd Blog: https://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/digital-education/ – the DigiEd blog contains updates on everything the central team is working on, including the latest updates and expectations around the Moodle upgrade.

The Moodle upgrade will happen to the entire Moodle site at the end of July (dates to be confirmed) and no action needs to be taken for the upgrade to take place. You do not need to wait for the upgrade to take place to roll over your Moodle courses, or to start updating them for next year, but once the upgrade has taken place, it’s best to take a look to see if there are any changes or additions you’d like to make ahead of the start of teaching.

I hope that covers everything! As ever, please keep in touch regarding any approaches you’re taking to the Moodle upgrade, and if you’d like to discuss creating templates, workflows or any other elements, please drop me a line in Teams or by email. No question too small, strange, or tiresome 😀
