We want to say a big thank you to all our QA testers for helping us complete 444 tests during this cycle! Your teamwork and dedication made the 100% pass rate achievement possible. 🧡

All testers will be awarded a badge, so please ensure you have a valid moodle.org account and that your details are correct to receive it.

We would also like to highlight a specific issue we've identified with Microsoft OneDrive, where teachers are unable to edit documents stored on OneDrive using controlled links. We have confirmed that this is not a regression in Moodle but rather an issue on the Microsoft side. To address this, we have created MDL-83341 for further investigation and resolution.

A big thanks to our core developers for their swift action in fixing the bugs we encountered during testing. Your hard work ensures we're ready for the release of Moodle 4.5!

Lastly, thank you to everyone who contributed in any way—whether through testing, investigating, or fixing bugs. Your efforts have been crucial in maintaining the quality and reliability of Moodle for educators and learners worldwide. 🚀🏆

We invite you to register for the Moodle Academy free webinar “Moodle AI plugins” on Thursday 26th September at 08:00-09:00 UTC.

In this webinar we will welcome Gordon D. Bateson, Professor at Kochi University of Technology in Japan, and Marcus Green, Senior E-learning Technical consultant at Catalyst IT. This presentation will explore the integration of AI into Moodle plugins.

Gordon and Marcus will start with a technical description, suitable for developers, of how it is possible for a plug-in to communicate with an AI engine, such as ChatGPT, via an API. Then they will show the mechanism of how their plugins utilise API’s to get useful results.

In the latter part of the presentation, they will demonstrate their plug-ins and show examples that may be useful to educators.

While this webinar will be most suitable for developers and educators, it may also be interesting to administrators to see what is possible with AI-powered plug-ins, and what settings they may be asked to set.
