The body and soul are deeply connected. In Ignatian spirituality, we recognize that caring for our physical health is as important as nurturing our spiritual well-being. One fascinating intersection of science and faith lies in the role of the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is a crucial part of our nervous system that regulates stress, […]

This story is in the tradition of Ignatian contemplation and explores the question of how Jesus and Mary might have prayed together after he was grown. “Where are you going?” Mary asked her Son as she swept the little house. “I thought I’d take a walk and find a quiet place to pray,” Jesus said.

There’s a tree outside the window of the guest room of my parent’s home. When the wind blows, the tree’s branches gently brush the side of the house, issuing a quiet scraping sound that’s all the more irritating in the early hours of the day. This is white noise, nothing but a background hum to […]

Hi Everyone,

I am pleased to announce the successful completion of our Jira migration! This has been a significant undertaking, and I want to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone involved for their hard work and dedication in making this transition a smooth one.

The new Jira system is now live and ready for your exploration. We encourage everyone to log in when convenient and become familiar with the updated platform. You should receive an email invite if you used our old system. 

To assist you with the new system, we've created a FAQ addressing common questions. This document also outlines steps to take if you encounter any issues. If you can’t find an answer to your question then please post in on this discussion thread.

A quick note regarding custom filters and dashboards: Due to the nature of the migration, these personalised configurations may not have transferred automatically. We kindly request that you take the time to recreate or update your custom filters and dashboards within the new system. We understand this may require some small effort on your part, but it will ensure that your personalised views and reporting remain intact and functional.

Please also note that links in moodle.org are currently redirecting to the old system. This should become resolved as the week progresses.

We are confident that this migration will lead to improved efficiency and a more robust project management experience for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding throughout this process.

Adrian

Hi,

As part of our migration to Jira Cloud, Tracker will be temporarily shut down for two days starting 14 June. During this time, we’ll transfer all Tracker history and existing data to the new system. We expect the new platform to be live by 16 June.

After the migration, the old Tracker system will remain viewable but will no longer accept new entries or updates.

Once our Jira Cloud instance is active, you’ll receive an invitation to log in and explore the new platform. Please follow the instructions provided to activate your account.

Thank you for your support through this transition.

The Learning Map plugin for Moodle allows educators to transform course structures into visual, intuitive, and motivating learning paths. In this session presented by Judith Birke from The St. Gallen University of Teacher Education, we will explore how Learning Maps can guide students through activities in a structured yet flexible way - supporting self-paced learning, modular progression, and gamified engagement.

You will see a variety of real-world examples for different teaching and learning scenarios, and leave with practical ideas to make your Moodle courses more learner-centred, visually structured, and motivating to explore.

This webinar is part of the course 'Moodle Academy webinars'. You have to be enrolled in this free course to register and join the webinar.

You may remember that we announced the transition of Moodle’s Tracker to JiraCloud last week which will be happening in a couple of weeks time. 

As part of this transition, we will be introducing a limit to how long we keep user accounts active within the Moodle Tracker on Jira Cloud. 

If you regularly use Tracker your account will stay active and this change will have no impact on you. 

However, moving forward, if you don’t interact with our system for three years then your account will be suspended and eventually removed.

You can always sign back up after a long break to gain access to Tracker again, but if your old account has been removed then it is not possible to restore it.

This change will help us better manage our Tracker solution and further support Moodle’s commitment to honouring data privacy regulation, which advocates for institutions to keep their user’s information for the shortest time necessary.
