Instructors,
We've been busy preparing for Spring term and we have a few updates to share with you all.
Spring 2020 Courses Available to Instructors
Your Spring 2020 courses are now available. You will either need to click on the "Hidden Courses" link or search for your class using the CRN# to locate your hidden Spring courses. Please make sure to make your course(s) available when you are ready for students to access them. Student enrollments will be added one week prior (March 16th) to the beginning of the term.
⚠️ Service Interruption
Our Moodle hosting provider will be applying a software upgrade on Thursday, February 13th between 12:30am-2:30am Pacific Standard Time (PST). During that time, classes.lanecc.edu will be unreachable and/or slow to respond.
There are no new major features but provides several bug fixes and minor enhancements such as the personal learning designer (PLD) having a new button that allows you to find and upload images in PLD's HTML email editor (previously, you could only add images by attaching a specific URL).
Highly Requested Feature Quietly Added in Previous Update
Forums can now have a cut-off date (due date) to which posts and replies are not permitted past the chosen date but viewing is still enabled! To learn more on how to do this check out our article on Due Dates and Cut-off Dates for Discussion Forums.
Now’s a Great Time to Send Us Your Spring Term Meta Course 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 streamline your work and reduce the need to post duplicate resources, activities, etc. into multiple shells. If you would like a Meta course or have questions on this process please contact the ATC before Spring term begins.
