Course Editors: Moodle Rollover for 2025/26

by Sarah Crofton -

On Monday 23 June 2025, we’ll carry out the annual Moodle Rollover.

This process creates new copies of course pages for the upcoming 2025/26 academic year. It’s primarily relevant to course editors preparing content for next year.

Key points:

  • New course pages will be available to editors by Friday 27 June 2025
  • These pages will be hidden from students and other users by default
  • Existing (2024/25) pages will remain unchanged and fully accessible

If you have questions about how a particular course will be handled, please speak to your departmental office, as we’ve been working with them to coordinate any specific arrangements. You’re also welcome to contact the Digital Education team (eden.digital@lse.ac.uk).

For help getting your course ready, see our guidance on setting up Moodle pages for the new academic year.

Thanks,
The Digital Education Team


Yuja Panorama Accessibility Plugin Issues

by Laurence Horstman -

Dear All, 

Updating about two known issues that we are currently experiencing with the Yuja Panorama digital accessibility Moodle plugin. More information about Panorama is in the Digital Education Wiki Spaces

1. Restore Document Error

Yuja Panorama retains files and associated Alternative Formats for a maximum of 12 months. After this the files are automatically removed from Panorama. The ‘Restore Document’ button within the Panorama ‘Alternative Formats’ menu is not currently functioning and users will see an error message instead. The issue has been reported and we will be working to fix this as soon as possible. In the interim, Moodle editors can trigger reprocessing in Panorama by removing the source file from Moodle and re-uploading.

2. Teacher Editor Role Not Recognised

Yuja Panorama is not currently recognising the ‘Teacher Editor’ role within Moodle. As a result, the Alternative Formats menu is not displaying Accessibility Reports or overall Accessibility Scores for files uploaded to Moodle. This issue has been reported and we will be working to fix this as soon as possible. In the interim, we recommend content creators make use of the inbuilt Accessibility Checkers for Microsoft Products before uploading to Moodle and refer to the Accessibility section of the Digital Education Wiki spaces for practical guides to creating accessible resources

Contact eden.digital@lse.ac.uk with any questions about digital accessibility.

best wishes, 
Laurence
