So here is a good news for all those, as we have come up with a step by step guide that facilitates this conversion process. But before going ahead with this let us understand few terminologies which you will come across very often.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica; color: #000000;\"><b>What is Moodle?<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;\">Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) is the most commonly used open source LMS. Moodle is designed to provide educators, corporates and learners with a single, secure and integrated system to create personalized learning environments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica; color: #000000;\"><b>Features of Moodle 2.4:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica; color: #000000;\"><b>New icons<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The most attractive feature which you will notice in this version of Moodle are the new standard icons throughout the Moodle.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica; color: #000000;\"><b>Performance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The biggest single change in this version is a new caching system called MUC (the Moodle Universal Cache) which allows Moodle admins to tune their servers with a variety of fast caching solutions. So this helps in improving the overall performance of the Moodle.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica; color: #000000;\"><b>Plugin updates<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; The most interesting feature of this version is that not only will Moodle tell you when one of your plugins is out-of-date, but you can also now update them directly via the web interface.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica; color: #000000;\"><b>Assignment improvements<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Assignments now support group-based assignments, blind marking, offline marking, submission statements and submission extensions.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica; color: #000000;\"><b>Course format plugins<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; All the code around course formats has been improved allowing developers of course formats to provide complete re-imaginings of Moodle course structure and navigation.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f7169-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\" data-wpcf7-id=\"7169\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571#wpcf7-f7169-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<fieldset class=\"hidden-fields-container\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"7169\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"6.1\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f7169-o1\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/fieldset>\n<div class=\"as_blog_form inlinecf\">\n\t<h3>Get in touch to avail some awesome eLearning services!\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<div class=\"as_blog_row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"as_b_box\">\n\t\t\t<p><label class=\"inlinelable\">First Name *<\/label><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"firstname\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required txtsize\" id=\"fname\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"firstname\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"as_b_box\">\n\t\t\t<p><label  class=\"inlinelable\">Last Name *<\/label><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"lastname\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required txtsize\" id=\"lname\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"lastname\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"as_b_box\">\n\t\t\t<p><label class=\"inlinelable\">Company Name*<\/label><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"companyname\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" id=\"email\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"companyname\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"as_b_box\">\n\t\t\t<p><label class=\"inlinelable\">Contact Number *<\/label><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"phoneno\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"15\" minlength=\"10\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-tel wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-tel\" id=\"phone\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"tel\" name=\"phoneno\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"as_b_box\">\n\t\t\t<p><label class=\"inlinelable\">Email Id *<\/label><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"emailid\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-email\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"email\" name=\"emailid\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ps_full\">\n\t\t\t<p><label>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap recaptcha\" data-name=\"recaptcha\"><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-recaptcha g-recaptcha\"><\/span><\/span><\/label>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"as_b_box_12\">\n\t\t\t<p><input class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit has-spinner contact_blog\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Contact Us Now\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"hidden-source hs-hiddenfields\" style=\"display:none;\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n\t\t\t<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"referer-page\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text referer-page\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"https:\/\/www.paradisosolutions.com\/blog\/https:\/\/www.paradisosolutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571 &amp;
