 Moodle 3.2 Moodle is the world's open source learning platform. Since 2001 the Moodle project has empowered millions of teachers and learners worldwide in schools, universities and workplaces with free, flexible and powerful education tools. I'm happy to announce that Moodle 3.2 has now arrived with a number of major key features, improvements and updates. All focused on improving accessibility, users experience and enabling teachers to innovate with their online education. One of the biggest new features in Moodle 3.2 is a fresh new user experience that we call Boost. Boost is a new core theme that gives Moodle sites a fresh new look. With Boost you can get better navigation within and between courses through a collapsible menu on the side of the screen similar to our mobile app. This nav drawer removes the need for navigation and administration blocks which gives more space for the course itself. Boost is based on the very latest version of the popular Bootstrap framework, meaning it's very easy to customize your Moodle site using industry standard Bootstrap designs and because this is just a theme you don't have to use it. All existing themes will continue to work just as they did before. This fresh new Boost theme is just the beginning. We look forward to continue refining Boost through user research and feedback from the entire Moodle community. We're also excited to show you the improved messaging and notifications features in Moodle 3.2 that makes messaging a lot more useful and fun to use. You can now find a message and notifications icon on every page of your Moodle site with a quick display of your recent and unread messages. A full messaging interface shows conversations in real time. It also allows you to search for contacts, direct message individual people, filter results by course or name, upload media that will automatically resize to fit, include mathematics and overall helps you find everything you need. Additionally, new settings make it easy to customize exactly how you want to receive notifications, for example via email or direct to your mobile app. A big new feature in Moodle 3.2 is user tours which will allow administrators of a Moodle site to create and share walkthroughs with teachers, students and all users of the site. You can create custom tours or use existing templates created by the Moodle community in various languages to welcome users to your Moodle site, highlight key areas or showcase a new change. You can even target tours to certain pages, roles or themes within the site. This new release now comes with a default industry leading media player. We've added video.js which provides users with more accessible learning experiences through full support for captions and subtitles for any audio and video files on your site. And you can even add other video players through new media plugins. A new modern graphing library in Moodle 3.2 has been used to overhaul all the graphs and charts to make them prettier as well as more interactive and responsive. These include things like grades, choice results, attendance, surveys and all other reports. To improve accessibility there is now the option of viewing graph information in a direct table format and the default graph colors have been chosen especially for the best possible contrast. We've used chart.js because of its clean cut aesthetics and responsive scaling to screen size. On top of these big new features in Moodle 3.2 there are also smaller improvements to help you get things done such as the ability to export and import competency frameworks to quickly move them between sites. Teachers can now override assignment dates for individual students or groups. Teachers can now make selections for students in the choice activity. In forums you can now lock old forum discussions to stop further replies. Workshop activities can be exported direct into an attached portfolio. 3.2 is also a huge step forward towards a unified experience with our Moodle mobile app but don't forget we can make custom branded versions of the app for you at Moodle.com. This huge list of new features in Moodle 3.2 along with many other fixes are made possible through the countless hours of discussion and development from our dedicated team of core developers at Moodle HQ. As usual there are too many to name but thank you all so much for your collaborative efforts and support on this release which I know everyone's going to benefit greatly from.
