Agenda

Topic: Moodle LMS front-end evolution - What theme and plugin developers need to know

Speakers: Safat Shahin (Moodle) and Sara Arjona (Moodle)

Quick topic summary: Moodle LMS is undergoing a significant visual design uplift, including enhancements to the Boost theme, the removal of the Classic theme, and the introduction of course linear navigation. These changes have meaningful implications for the community, particularly developers maintaining custom themes, course formats, and activity modules. This session covers what's changing, why it matters, and how to prepare your plugins and themes for compatibility with Moodle LMS 5.3 and beyond.
