About Moodle
Moodle is a widely-used Learning Management System, installed here at UL
Lafayette. Courses created under Moodle can be configured
as desired by the instructor, to provide a syllabus, contact information,
a calendar, course lectures (in various formats), assignments, assessments
(quizzes,
surveys, choices), discussions (via forums) and virtual classrooms (chatrooms).
Students and instructors can communicate with all classmates/groupmates
via the class or group forum, and can email individuals shown in the Participants
listing. A student can choose to receive email from all forum postings,
or
to visit the forum interactively and see which postings are unread. Students
may upload files for assignments that require responses, and see comments
their instructor may provide along with an assignment grade. An instructor
may create
a wiki in which their class participates as collaborators on a common work.
Also, a glossary can be provided by an instructor to allow terms within
online text to be highlighted and their definition or corrollary information
to be
retrieved via a mouse-click.
To access Moodle, simply click on the Moodle button on the ULink portal,
or browse directly to http://suze.ucs.louisiana.edu/moodle/ and
login using your UCS username (CLID) and password. Your home page will
show any courses
you take (or teach) under "My Courses". Click on the
desired course and you will see the available course content in the middle
of the page,
with various options shown to the left and right of the
page. In particular, a 'Recent Activity' block will show, for example,
recent additions
to course content.
