What is Moodle?
Moodle is a multi-faceted Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It will be replacing UEL Plus at UEL as the new mainstream VLE. In many programmes, Moodle is already in use at UEL, but for details of the migration timelines please see below.
You might enjoy the short Moodle video below – explaining Moodle course construction using a “lego” analogy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XPZl6LLvik. If you want to know more and interested in how to get started? … Please sign-up for a staff development session.
When do we start using Moodle?
All on-campus Level 0 and Level 1 modules will be using Moodle in Semester B of 2012/13. The remaining provision must be moved over to Moodle in time for next academic year – including all School and programme notice boards, undergraduate and postgraduate provision and all collaborative partners that use UEL Plus. This means that Students will no longer have or need UEL Plus from the start of next academic year –we’re moving to Moodle for September 2013/14.
How do I log on to Moodle?
Moodle can be accessed via a link in the 'Learning Systems' widget in UEL Direct. For full instructions see the 'Getting started with Moodle (pdf)' guide.
Note for continuing MSc BIT dissertation students:
Students who started the MSc BIT by distance learning in 2011/12 or earlier and are undertaking the dissertation are still using their previous Moodle system, for continuity reasons. The Moodle system for continuing dissertation students only is available at; http://vle.uelconnect.org.uk/course/category.php?id=2
How do I get help with Moodle?
If you need help with using Moodle please see our support pages for further information.
What staff development sessions are available?
We are providing a number of Moodle staff development sessions. Some are being directed to specific Schools or programmes and others on a more generic basis – for anyone who wants to attend! For details, please take a look at the staff development page.
