Скачать или смотреть Moodle 5.0 Sneak Peek: Ollama API Provider for AI, Quiz Attempt Precreation and more...

I take a first look at 5.0 and the changes that are coming, including the new Ollama API Provider plugin, getting RecordRTC using MP3 for default for audio, the new question banks, and precreating quiz attempts to improve performance. Along the way I discover a bunch of things I didn't know before, in particular one "trick" that is needed to get the Ollama API working. See also tracker issue links and video timestamps below.
