Moodle 2.4 Upgrade

In a continued effort to provide Adelphi faculty and students with the best possible online teaching and learning experience, the University will be implementing an upgrade of Moodle in Summer 2013. This upgrade will ensure that Moodle continues to be a reliable and flexible platform.

Please note that all current and past semester courses will transfer to this system intact and automatically when the update is performed. No course materials, student artifacts, grades, etc. will be lost.
