Instructors,
Winter 2023 student enrollments are now syncing with your Moodle courses. By default, courses are not set to automatically "show" to enrolled students and they will not have access to your course until you update the course visibility setting.
➡️ Here is a guide that will walk you through how to make your course visible to students. Follow our recommended Moodle course Start of Term and End of Term procedures to help you close out a previous course or to open an upcoming course.
Reminder: The term starts 1-week late this year!
First day of classes is Monday, January 9th.

🤔 Can't post a message in your OpenForum?
Instructors who use OpenForums will have received several personalized email messages with information and instructions. Beginning Winter 2023, the ability to use the OpenForum activity type has been removed. OpenForums can still be referenced in "view-only" mode within completed course and they can be imported as "temporary placeholders" within new courses.
Teaching Multiple Course Sections? Wish You Could Merge Them Into A Single Moodle Course?
You can!! For those new to Metacourses: a Metacourse allows you to combine enrollments from multiple course sections into a single Moodle shell — reducing the need to duplicate resources, activities, etc. when you are teaching multiple sections or course sharing between multiple instructors.
Submit a meta course request (online google form) or email the ATC (atc@lanecc.edu) before the term begins.
🎓 Moodle 4.1 Update in Summer 2023 Term | July 13-15th, 2023
On July 13, 2023 the College Learning Management Software (LMS), Moodle, will undergo a major and mandatory upgrade from Moodle 3 to Moodle 4. The Academic Technology team and IT department will work with the vendor to make the necessary technology transition on July 13, 14, and 15, 2023. This constitutes a planned three-day Moodle outage that will impact students and summer classes during Week 3 of Summer term.
