Moodle 4.0 user interface first look

Introduction

This post is different from the past, in that it’s a screencast! I’ll show off some of the new user interface features of the forthcoming Moodle 4.0, along with what I’ve been doing in my contributed work that compatible with it.

When I say ‘put any thoughts in the comments’, I mean here and not on YouTube.
