One of the most anticipated version updates for Moodle™ is here!

Moodle 3.3 is now in business and making heads turn in the e-learning world as we speak! The reason why it is awaited by the Moodle community as a whole is that it includes a lot of new features for users, teachers, and administrators alike.
