The table below outlines the WCLN development and schedule goals.
Preparation notes:
- Courses will be released as Moodle version 3.6.2+ (Build: 20190118). Suggest an update to at least this version.
- Like last year, if you wish to use WIRIS for students showing work, your district will need to license WIRIS.
- For simply seeing the equations in the database, no WIRIS license is required.
- If you wish your courses to have the Grid format on your site, ensure you have the grid plugin installed BEFORE restoring the courses.
- Make sure ALL of your teachers subscribe to the corresponding forums in the "Discussion area" so they keep up-to-date with any fixes or updates for their course(s). It helps us ALL.
