Instructor Support: Moodle: Spring courses and Student enrollments

Instructors,

Hi all - Student Spring enrollments are now syncing within your Spring courses in Moodle. If your course are visible, your enrolled students will have access to your course. If your course is not set to "show", enrolled students will not be able to access it until you change this setting. Hint: If you don't see your Spring term courses listed, look within the hidden section of your My Courses page.

=> Here is a guide that will walk you through how to make your course visible to students.

To help you close out a previous course or to open an upcoming course you can follow our recommended Moodle course Start of Term and End of Term procedures.

Any last minute Meta Courses requests?

A Meta course allows you to combine multiple sections into one Moodle shell. If you teach multiple courses of the same section a Meta course allows you to better streamline your work and reduce the need to duplicate resources, activities, etc. into multiple courses. If you would like a Meta course or have questions on this process please contact the ATC.

Development Shells Now Default to Using Boost Theme:

You are able to manually change your course theme, however we do not recommend making this change. If you change your course theme away from Boost, we cannot ensure it will meet mobile accessibility and the updated 508 requirements.

Course Migration quick links:

If you need help with course design, settings, course migration, Meta course requests, etc., please contact us in the ATC (atc@lanecc.edu).

Archived Courses:

We keep one academic years worth of active courses on our site. After one academic year (summer-spring) the previous years courses are backed up, archived offline, and then removed from the site. This process is in place to preserve Moodle server space. If you need a course that is not available to you on classes.lanecc.edu please send a request to atc with the CRN and term of the course you need made available to you.

Moodle Training is always available!

We host a suite of Moodle Training courses (see below). You can self-enroll into any of these courses and complete an entire course or sections of courses you feel you need. We also offer drop-in or scheduled Moodle trainings for departments or groups on specific topics. Please email atc@lanecc.edu directly to discuss any Moodle training needs you may have.
