UH-Moodle is now upgraded to a new version (Moodle 2.6). A maintenance break at the 17th of May was shorter than expected and the break was over already at 9:30 am. All Moodle courses are now normally in use.

There are some new features in the new version: http://docs.moodle.org/26/en/New_features. The most important improvement in Moodle 2.6 is the new responsive layout theme which makes mobile use for students and teachers easier (smart phones, tablet computers etc.).
UH’s Moodle user guides will be updated to mach the new version during the summer 2014.

The change in the Urkund document process

There has made the change in processing the document in Urkund last week.
In the future, the documents will be automatic deleted Urkund after seven weeks from submitting.

Until now, the submitter has been able to choose to delete the document from Urkund reference material. This option has been available via web link in the confirmation receipt which submitter has received after sending or uploading the document.

However, the copyright holder has the right to decide on the use of the document as a reference material. By allowing the use of the document  the copyright defence will better because the other person is more difficult to use your work or parts of it in their own name. Save your work to the Urkund database in Moodle via the assignment submission text link “Save the document in Urkund” or by using the link provided in the email you receive after the report has been generated.
