Wrapping things up for your Moodle: Your End-of-year LMS Checklist

As we approach that time at the end of the year, December and January can be a good time to tidy things up on your LMS.

Conducting a “sweep” (or audit) of your Moodle sites is an important activity for your LMS. Not only does it make your LMS easy to access for your students and learners when the new year comes and a new flurry of activities restart, but it also helps your administrators and teachers to evaluate efficiencies and the security status of your LMS. Some questions you should be asking include:

• Do we need to do an Admin access audit?
• Has anyone left the company?
• Is MFA activated for all Admin users?
• Is there any outdated information or broken links in our courses that need fixing?
• What’s our cloud storage usage? How can we be more efficient?

Ideally, LMS sweeps should take place at least 4 times a year (one per quarter), or as frequently as needed depending on your organisation’s activities or after a major update. However, we understand that certain periods of the year tend to be busy, and these check-ups can take a backseat.

As we approach a quieter time in the year, we have prepared a checklist you can use to ensure all the important considerations when doing checks and maintenance on your Moodle LMS do not get neglected.
