What is happening?  

An upgrade to PG Moodle will take place. Users will not have access to PG Moodle during this upgrade. 

Why is this happening? 

This is to ensure that PG Moodle remains stable and secure.  

When is this happening? 

The upgrade will happen on the date noted below. 

Date and Time

Action

Tuesday 2nd May 2022, 09.00 (UK time)

The service will be taken offline, and the upgrade process will begin.

Tuesday 2nd May 2022, 17.00 (UK time)

PG Moodle will be back online. Users can access the service.

 

All scheduled times are at GMT (UK time). You can use the following website to see the time difference between your location and the UK: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/difference.html 

What is the impact? 

Users will not have access to PG Moodle during this upgrade. This will not affect any other services, such as reading lists. 

The Moodle interface will look a little different but the functionality will remain the same.   

We do not expect any problems once PG Moodle is back online, however any upgrade comes with a risk of unexpected issues. Please be patient if this happens, we will be working to ensure it causes as little disruption as possible. 

What should I do? 

If you will need access to anything from PG Moodle during this period you can prepare for this before PG Moodle is taken offline: 
  • If you will need course materials, you can export the relevant Moodle books to a Microsoft Word or PDF file. For instructions, please see the PG Moodle Guide, which is available in the Student Support area 

  • If you have not already done so, you can download and save the feedback for any submission as a PDF file. Information on how to do this is available in Turnitin and Feedback Studio Guide in the Student Support area. 

Who should I contact? 

If you have any questions you can contact us on e-mail: pgmoodle@dundee.ac.uk 

Kind Regards
PG Learner Experience Design Team
