On May 7, Concordia introduced Moodle 2.6, the latest version of its Learning Management System (LMS).
A LMS provides students with a way to create content, submit assignments, communicate with professors and classmates, as well as receive feedback and grades.
The upgrade will allow Moodle to run more efficiently in a wider range of software environments.
New Moodle features
Moodle 2.6 features useful new functions for Concordia students.

- Editing tools have been grouped together in a simple drop-down menu for easy access across desktop and mobile devices.
- The text editor has new icons, and is expandable. There is also an improved folder and subfolder display.
- You’ll be able to submit an assignment as a group.
