Getting Started

Overview: To begin, modify your profile and set your subscriptions once you log in to Moodle. Here are some Quick Tips and short editing overviews.

Quick Start Guide

The Guide begins with some basic information on Moodle and how to navigate once you get there. It also offers suggestions of what you can add to your course.

Basic Navigation

GSC’s online courses use modules and blocks to segment the course learning and resources into smaller components.

Using the Moodle Course Template

Follow the instructions for preparing your Moodle course using the GSC Moodle Course Template for online, hybrid and blended courses.

Moodle Quick Tips

Useful hints to get you up and running fast.

Your Profile Page

Your profile contains personal information about you that other users can view by clicking on your name in Moodle. Standard profile information includes your name, location (City/Town/Country), email address (if you chose to make it accessible), the list of courses you are enrolled in, a picture (if you choose to insert one) and your interests.

Set Your Subscriptions

There are several areas where users can manage subscription preferences. Each is outlined here.

Tips for Copied Courses

Was your course copied from one term to another? If so, before your course goes live there are several things you should check. Here’s a short list of essentials.

You’ve Got Class: 10 Ways to Use Moodle

Did you know that you have a Moodle course shell ready and waiting for you to use? Approximately 3 months prior to the start of the term, every credit-bearing course being taught at the college automatically gets a Moodle course shell in eLearning+. Registered students are automatically added to your course.

Revise Course Length

If the length of your course is changing (e.g. 12 to 6 weeks), see these helpful tips for conceptualizing your course redesign.

Instructional Design Support Request Form

GSC provides instructional design support for all faculty who wish to use Moodle regardless of the delivery format. Select Instructional Design Support from the "How can we help you" drop-down menu.
