Wittenborg Online News!

Wittenborg Online now running on Moodle2

Moodle 2.0 contains a lot of large new features, some completely rewritten features, and hundreds of bug fixes. http://docs.moodle.org/en/Moodle_2.0_release_notes  (Moodle site is http://moodle.org )

Wittenborg Business University has been running its Intranet and extranet on the Moodle platform since April 2004, which means that the site has been through many upgrades and transformations during the past 6 ½ years. This meant that the transition to Moodle2 was a little more complicated than normal, as Moodle2 has a completely re-written structure in many areas, especially such as file management.

We have done our best to ensure that all information has been migrated, especially file uploads of exams and papers and graduation assignments! However, if something is missing – never fear … we have the old site running.
