CLAMP – the Collaborative Liberal Arts Moodle Project is a group of colleges and universities who collaborate to develop and support Moodle. Recently the CLAMP project has released three new maintenance releases of the Liberal Arts Edition which are based on Moodle 4.0.

The major work of CLAMP focuses on fostering collaboration and support around Moodle by hosting events, sharing knowledge, evaluating features, creating documentation, fixing bugs, and developing code. CLAMP is governed by a steering committee consisting of elected participants from seven member schools. Each school serves a three year term with a staggered rotation for new schools serving each year.

The new CLAMP version contains updates to all the contributed modules to ensure compatibility with Moodle 4.0. You can download the latest CLAMP version release form the official website here.

CLAMP contains many contributed modules in the package like Filtered Course List, OU Dates Report, Quickmail, Roster Report & Ad-hoc database queries (customsql) etc. along with core Moodle. The LAE includes bug fixes, enhancements, and a suite of plugins which our member schools find useful.

There is a new minor version released within a week of each Moodle Minor version release. While for every Moodle Major version release, there is a new CLAMP version released in January & July.
