The Engage team is thrilled to announce that the Engage Learning Management System (LMS) will soon be upgraded to its newest version, Engage 4.0. Leveraging decades of research from the open-source Moodle LMS community combined with feedback from our users, Engage 4.0 delivers a modern look and feel that puts Engage’s rich set of features at your fingertips.

What’s New?

Optimized for mobile, Engage 4.0 has a new look and feel that is responsive and consistent across devices. New navigation and course features let you minimize distractions and focus on what’s most important to you.

Simplified Navigation

The new hierarchical navigation system is simplified and contextual. Important site-wide links, including a new global search feature, are always available in the Primary Navigation Bar at the top of the site. Course and activity pages feature a Secondary Navigation Bar that houses the links most relevant to that particular page.
