MyCourses upgrade in June
Yes, it is the time of the year when MyCourses gets new features and bigger changes are released. While not all details are available yet, you can find in this post some of the upcoming changes that come with the Moodle upgrade, and other new features that have already been tried out . Find the date for upgrade on the Aalto.fi outages page
Question bank changes
Shared question banks are now more practical to use — you can filter by name, type, status, owner, and modification date. Non-editing teachers can also use questions from shared banks by default, making collaboration between colleagues finally possible without extra admin work.
Activities overview
The new centralised course overview page gathers quizzes, forums, wikis, H5P, lessons, and more into a single view with consistent action buttons and human-friendly due dates. No more clicking into each activity separately to check status.
Activity Chooser
Activities are now grouped by purpose (not just type), so it’s easier to find the right tool for what you’re trying to teach. Each activity now shows a detail panel with a description and whether it’s gradable — helpful when you’re building a course from scratch.
MyCourses AI assistant
Aalto AI assistant is now integrated as a tool for teachers to set up course related tasks for students. The teacher can prompt a specific behavior and upload content for AI to interact with students. Find out more at Aalto.fi
Dark mode
This is a previously requested feature, and finally we are adding the first version of dark mode to MyCourses. Users can toggle it on from top navigation in all pages.
