If one or more of your students have told you that they cannot access your course, there could be a number of reasons for this. Firstly, the student may not be fully registered in WIT. If this is the case, they will not be able to log into Moodle. Please advise them to contact the Registry office to complete the registration process.
Lecturers can easily add handouts and documents created in Microsoft Word to their module area in Moodle. The same steps are repeated to add Microsoft Excel, Powerpoint or PDFs to Moodle. Follow these instructions or browse the Getting Started With Moodle Guide.
As a lecturer, it is good practice to regularly download a recent backup to your own computer or OneDrive for additional protection. You can create a backup of any module area in Moodle once you are assigned as a lecturer to that module. This backup will create a copy of all the resources and activities in that module area. No student data will be contained in the backup for security purposes.
Your students can access Turnitin via the assignment area that you have set up for them in Moodle. Students cannot get access to Turnitin if you did not set up any assignment for them in the module area in Moodle.
Please follow these instructions on how to link to a Prezi file/presentation.

Participants in forums can easily insert links to websites, youtube and other web based resources within their forum posting.
Any member of a discussion forum can add a file or multiple files to their posts. Please follow these quick steps to upload a file to your post in any discussion forum that you are a member of.
An email can be sent to all students/participants on a module. A valid email account is required when setting up student and staff accounts in Moodle. This defaults to the email provided at reigstration by students or the staff email account. The email message you send will go to the email account that they have provided. If they are not sure which email address has been linked to their Moodle account they can check this in their profile area when they have logged into Moodle.
