Students will be shown how to log into Moodle and access module areas as part of induction.  However, they will not be shown how to use all features of Moodle as this may be overwhelming for the students.  In addition, different lecturers use Moodle in different ways so the lecturers are really best placed to show the students how to use Moodle.

You can share a module with other lecturers if you are timetabled to teach the same class group together. Alternatively, we can create a separate area for each of you in Moodle.

Please follow these instructions on how to link to a Prezi file/presentation.

If a student in your group is a registered student at WIT you can enrol them on your module quite easily. Please follow these quick instructions:

It can be beneficial to students if they see a picture of lecturers and their fellow students in their modules. This picture will appear throughout your module area next to your name, e.g. next to your name on a forum post, etc.

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.
