Instructors,

Hi all - Student Summer enrollments are now syncing within your Summer 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 Summer 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.

Moodle v3.4 Upgrade Scheduled for Thursday, July 12th:
Please expect LCC Moodle to be unavailable between 12:30am-2:30am Pacific Standard Time (PST) on Thursday, July 12th. A follow up email will be sent detailing the new features and improvements that have been made.

Decreased support for Java Applets and .SWF flash based files:
Modern web browsers including Firefox, Chrome, IE Explorer, Safari are ceasing (or have already) support for Java Applet or SWF flash based content. Both of these file formats have been used at LaneCC by many instructors to delivering interactive content, simulations, video and animations within Moodle. If you have old content using either of these file formats, please work with the ATC to convert or locate replacement content. Instructors looking to add content to their courses should steer away from using either file formats. Additional Information: Java Applet Support Ended, Adobe Flash Player Officially Sunsets 2020.

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. 

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.

For those of you who aren't teaching, enjoy your Summer break and see you in the fall!
