VPL Questions are questions that can fit within a Moodle quiz. They are intended to create small to medium coding exercises, based on the Virtual Programming Lab plugin. They are designed to offer a simple interface for students, while keeping the power and versatility of Virtual Programming Labs.

VPL Question 3.1.0

Moodle 3.11, 4.0, 4.1
Released: Thursday, 11 September 2025, 8:48 PM

Update 3.1.0

This update addresses several issues:

  • Compatibility with VPL version 4.3.X. The issue was code not being properly highlighted. If the issue persists, try and save a new version of your question (not changing anything, just edit and save) and it should solve the problem.
  • Websocket header check was incorrect (case sensitivity).
  • Move out of jQueryUI (still included for underlying VPL dependencies).
