Moodle 3.9 → 4.1 Upgrade (ISIL)
The Challenge
Execute a major Moodle upgrade, avoiding breaks due to version changes, plugin dependencies, and theme/template adjustments.
The Solution
We performed the controlled upgrade from Moodle 3.9 to 4.1:
- Inventory of plugins and compatibility evaluation.
- Update of contributed plugins and adjustment of custom plugins.
- Functional validation: access, roles, enrolment, courses, reports, and evaluations.
- Backup strategy and rollback plan to ensure secure deployment window.
Results
- Moodle updated to 4.1 with operational and validated plugins.
- Greater stability and modern base for UX/functional improvements.
- Reduced risk for future maintenance.
