Hello Instructors,
Summer 2023 courses are now available to you in Moodle.
There are ~60 courses currently unassigned (assigned to "STAFF") along with sections yet to be built. If you don’t see your section listed, check the class schedule to ensure your department administrator has added you as the instructor of record.
➡️ 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.
Reminder: You will either need to click on the "Hidden Courses" link or search for your class using the CRN# to locate your hidden courses. Student enrollments will be added one week prior to the beginning of the term (Monday, June 19th, 2023).

🎓 Moodle 4.1 Deployment Summer 2023 Term | July 13-15th, 2023
On July 13, 2023 the College's Learning Management Software (LMS), Moodle, will undergo a major and mandatory upgrade from Moodle 3 to Moodle 4. This constitutes a planned three-day Moodle outage that will impact students and summer classes during Week 3 of Summer term. Please plan in advance for this outage. If you need assistance copying or creating temporary resources that students can access during the outage, please contact the atc@lanecc.edu as soon as possible.
- 😲 Visit the Official Moodle 4.0 launch website
- 🤔 Visit ATC's Moodle webpage to learn more about what's new in 4.0.
- 🤠 Explore Moodle’s 4 Demo Site to get hands-on experience. Use the teacher login (username = teacher/password = moodle), keep in mind the site is reset every hour so you won't be able to save your work, but you will be able to preview the new layout, grade book, settings, and more!
🆕 🛫 Moodle v4.1 Pre-Flight Report For Summer 2023 Instructors — Coming Soon!
As a courtesy and service to all instructors at Lane Community College, our Moodle Admin will be emailing an individualized pre-flight report for courses likely to be imported into the upcoming term (i.e. summer 2022). Highlighted within the report is the top 5 areas that may require attention to ensure a seamless transition to the Moodle 4 environment.
For some faculty members, these suggestions may require little change, while for others, they may be more substantial. If you do not receive an email in the coming weeks and or have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the ATC.
📋 Reminder: OpenForums at End of Life (EOL)
Instructors who use OpenForums will have received several personalized email messages with information and instructions. The ability to post/edit/modify/create OpenForum activities 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? Merge Them Into A Single Moodle Meta Course.
For those new to Metacourses: a Metacourse allows you to combine enrollments from multiple course sections into a single Moodle course 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.
📅 Academic Technology Center (ATC) Support Hours Monday-Friday 9am-4pm
