===== Moodle of the Jade HS now also with Single Sign On (SSO) (from 19.07.2024) =====

The [[https://moodle.jade-hs.de|Moodle]] platform is now also accessible with Single Sign On (SSO). (Project members continue to use the manual Moodle account). See also keyword “[[en/moodle/login/start|Access]]”.

===== Offene Jade HS, login now with HS access data/SSO (from 02/2024) =====

The project and further education platform [[https://offene.jade-hs.de/moodle/?lang=en|Offene Jade HS]] is now equipped with SSO for HS members. (Access for external users still via self-registration).



===== Onlyoffice Document (from 01/2024) =====

The activity “[[en/moodle/activities/onlyofficedocument/start|Onlyoffice Document]]” allows multiple users to **jointly edit Office documents in Moodle in real time** with the ONLYOFFICE Document Server online editor and save these changes back to Moodle. The service is operated on Jade University servers and therefore meets all data protection requirements.


===== Course format “Flexible Sections” (from 12/2023) =====
The course format “**Flexible Sections**” offers teachers the possibility to organize their Moodle course with sections and subsections ({{de:moodle:das_flexible_kursformat.pdf|PDF in German}}).


===== Embed test questions in the continuous text (from 10/2023) =====
Quiz or test questions that are already in the question collection can now be inserted in the Moodle text editor. This means that test questions can be used here, for example: Course page, text page, text and media field, in a book activity or when writing a forum post. More information: “[[en:moodle:tests:embed-questions:start|Embedding questions]]”.
