Moodle Pilot Updates

The final Moodle Open Lab was held on January 15th. Faculty spent time fine tuning courses.

At this time we are working on several issues:

Some students experienced login issues - all locked Moodle accounts have been cleared so students will be able to login to the course through Blackboard.

Instructors were reminded to make sure that students are logging in through Blackboard using the single sign-on instructions found in the Moodle Pilot Forum, and to make courses available in both Moodle and Blackboard through the Adminstration block > Settings area.

Instructors were also reminded that the email function in Moodle has been disabled and if they create a new News Item an email will not automatically be sent. At this time, they will need to copy and paste the contents of the News Item into the email function in Blackboard.

At this time, instructors may manually enroll students in Moodle who registered for the course after rosters were loaded.
