- Addition of a link to UniSA Ready in the help menu
In Moodle 4.0 Moodle HQ introduced an improved user experience when navigating courses, modules and other key areas. To address this, Moodle HQ now have the navigation elements appear as tabs within the context header. The content of menus and their content will change depending on your role within the course. See, Moodle 4.1 Navigation Changes, for an overview of this change within the assignment activity (Coordinator role).
The Technology Enhanced Learning team within the TIU are currently updating all Asklearnonline help resources to reflect this change.
