Moodle 3.8 → 3.11 Upgrade (ADEX)
The Challenge
Update Moodle from 3.8 to 3.11 without losing plugin compatibility, maintaining data integrity, and reducing downtime risks.
The Solution
We performed a secure and verifiable upgrade:
- Generation of full backups prior to intervention.
- Moodle update from 3.8 to 3.11.
- Update of contributed plugins.
- Adaptation of old plugins to ensure compatibility with the new version.
- Post-upgrade validations (navigation, roles, courses, cron, and caches).
Results
- Platform updated to Moodle 3.11.
- Key plugins operational (including necessary adaptations).
- Improvements in maintainability and security by being on a more recent version.
