Known Issue: Feedback Activity - No Edit Question in Snap Theme
Originally posted: June 12, 2025
Issue summary:
In the Snap theme, the Feedback activity in Moodle does not present an option to edit questions. This limitation prevents users from modifying Feedback activity questions while the Snap theme is active.
Workaround:
To edit questions in the Feedback activity, temporarily change the course theme from Snap to Boost. Make the necessary edits to the questions, then switch the course theme back to Snap. It is recommended to work with the Faculty Technology Center to complete this workaround.
Implications of workaround:
Switching between themes requires additional steps and temporary changes to course appearance and navigation. Users may need support or administrative permissions to change themes, and brief disruption to the course layout or student experience may occur during the transition period. Close coordination with the Faculty Technology Center helps to minimize potential issues.
Known Issue: Grading Scale Update
Originally posted: May 23, 2025
Issue summary:
The Workday Student integration with Moodle allows individual students in the same course section to be graded with different scales. This means that the overall course grade type (i.e., Value, Scale, Text) may be different from one or more students' grade type.
This causes an issue when posting grades to Workday if and only if the overall grade type is set to the Pass/Fail scale and there are students with different grade types in the course. For example, the overall grade type is set to Scale>Pass/Fail, and there are students with the Value grade type. In this scenario, attempting to post interim or final grades through Moodle will result in an error.
Workaround:
You will not be able to use the Post Grades tool in Moodle if the course's overall grade type in Moodle is set to Scale>Pass/Fail and there are students with different grade types in the course. In this case, you must set your overall grade type to Value. However, you may manually post grades to Workday Student with the combined grade types.
Implications of workaround:
To manually post grades to Workday Student, you must export grades from Moodle and import to Workday Student.
Known Issue: Board Activity Plugin
Originally posted: May 14, 2025
Issue summary:
The Board activity plugin is not visible for roles with the capability to Manage columns and manage all posts. Issue has been reported and is being addressed.
Temporary workaround:
We have temporarily removed the impacted capability to ensure boards are visible and posts can be created and viewed.
Implications of workaround:
- Users cannot edit column headers (Note: Column headers can still be hidden from students in the settings).
- Users cannot add, move, or delete columns.
- Existing column customizations will still import and restore into new courses without issues.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to resolve this matter. Thank you for your cooperation.
