The UOW Learning Platform is an integrated suite of educational tools and systems centred on Moodle, our Learning Management System (LMS). This platform connects various learning and teaching resources to create a seamless educational experience for our students.
Note: On 19 December 2025, Moodle received an upgrade to version 4.5. The overall look and feel of Moodle will remain the same with this upgrade, making minor cosmetic changes and introducing some new features. L&T Hub resources will continue to be updated in line with the Moodle upgrade.
