This is a reminder than we will be upgrading our instance of Moodle the morning of Tuesday August 25th. We expect the required downtime to begin at 5:00 AM PST, and hope to be back up by 8:00 AM. However, this is a significant process, so it is possible the outage may go a little later.
The new version will have streamlined theming, and a few navigation tweaks, but most features and functions will not be changed. This five minute video reviews the differences in student and instructor experiences: https://barabus.tru.ca/moodle/5_2_upgrade.html
We also want instructors to know that next week we will be running a process to update older H5P activities to ensure they continue to work after the update. This process will not require downtime and should not disrupt user experience. If you happen to see any issues with your H5P activities, or have any other questions, please let us know at moodlesupport@tru.ca.

An improved registration system for Open Learning courses launches May 12
TRU is launching an improved online registration system for Open Learning courses on Tuesday, May 12. Registration will temporarily be unavailable from 8 to 11 a.m. while we transition to the new system.
The registration process will remain familiar, including add-to-cart and checkout, with a few updates to improve your experience. These include a refreshed design, debit payment option and a new online learning portal where you can view your Open Learning courses, receipts and profile details. Your current enrolment and course credits are not affected.
Any items currently in your cart will not carry over. Please complete your Open Learning course registration today or reselect courses after the launch.
When accessing the new system for the first time, you will log in with your TRU ID and complete a one-time online learning profile.
