Scheduled Outage: Moodle

The Moodle upgrade that failed this morning, will be reattempted on Monday, July 18, at 3:00am. 

The upgrade should involve one to two hours of downtime for Moodle and will be completed by the beginning of the workday.  This is a significant upgrade from version 3 to 4, which has a new look and feel that most will find easier and more intuitive to use.  However, it is a change, and we recognize that instructors with classes in session may need some additional support.  If you have classes at this time, we encourage you to email helpdesk@emu.edu for information from the IS Moodle Team about training opportunities.

Scheduled Outage: Moodle

Update: July 15, 8:45am:
We are disappointed to report that the Moodle upgrade scheduled for early this morning could not be completed successfully.  Moodle remains unchanged.  We are working closely with our service provider to determine a new timeline.  We will send another update as soon as we have confirmation that the problems have been resolved and a new date can be set confidently.  If you have questions, please email them to helpdesk@emu.edu.

On Friday, July 15 3:00-6:30 am, we will be upgrading Moodle to version 4.0. Moodle will be unavailable during the upgrade. If you have questions, email helpdesk@emu.edu.
