TUWEL 4.4 Update

On the 20th of August, TUWEL, the central e-learning platform of TU Wien, was updated to the latest Moodle version 4.4. This update should bring usability improvements and new features. We have summarised some of the highlights of the update for you.

Optimised Icons

To ensure a uniform and appealing look, icons forall activities and materials have been optimised. This optimisation improves user-friendliness by providing clear visual cues.

Usability and design improvements

The course layout has been revised to optimise both usability and visual design. The improved presentation should enable users to access the desired information more efficiently and quickly.

New quiz question type

A new question type is now available for the TUWEL quizzes: the arrangement question. This question type makes it possible to put answers in a certain order and is a new way of testing participants' knowledge. The introduction is intended to expand the possibilities of quiz design and contribute to a more versatile and interactive learning environment.

Evaluate sub-areas of tests

With the new assessment elements, specific sections of tests can now be analysed. This is particularly helpful for providing detailed feedback and identifying strengths and weaknesses in sub-areas.

ATTO editor and chat module

The ATTO editor and chat module have been deactivated and are therefore no longer available to users. This adjustment is intended to ensure the usability of the platform and better performance.

Presentation of the innovations

Once again this year, there will be a live demonstration in which the changes and new features will be shown. Of course, participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions directly to the TUWEL team. This is planned for Wednesday, 25th of September 2024 from 15:00 - 16:00.

The demonstration will take place online via a Zoom meeting:
