• Course page improvements and activity icons: A fresher look – Course pages, the heart of Moodle’s learning experience, have received significant improvements in Moodle LMS 4.4.

• Streamline communication with enhanced notifications – Moodle LMS 4.4 introduces enhanced notification options to proactively inform and engage users. Students are alerted when manually enrolled in courses, ensuring they can engage with new learning opportunities right away. If students are at risk of being unenrolled due to inactivity, they can be alerted to give them the chance to re-engage and continue their learning journey.
