Tools Faculty Use Manage Courses

• Tools Faculty Use Manage Courses

  Find directions for adding students and others to your classrooms, moving content from one course to another, and tracking students' participation are found here.  

  • Select activity Course Completion Dates (copy)

    

    Course Completion Dates (copy) Page

    It is very important to check this so your course does not disappear!

  • Select activity Quickmail and Alternatives

    

    Quickmail and Alternatives Page

    The groups responsible for Quickmail stopped development in 2018. As a result, it no longer functions as expected. While it still sends mail, when instructors check the history, an error is returned. We recommend faculty use the work arounds described on this page.

    Scheduler is a tool that allows faculty to add time slots to a classroom; students can self-schedule appointments (or faculty can schedule for them). It will even send email reminders of appointments on the morning it is scheduled. 

  • Select activity Changing Dates on Copied Courses

    

    Changing Dates on Copied Courses Page

    Using "Dates," faculty can see all of the due dates in their course on one page. This is especially useful for those who teach from course that have been copied from previous terms. 

  • Select activity Importing from One Course to Another

    Faculty can use this option to copy amounts of contents from one course to another. This can be used rather than submitting a help ticket to request IT copy content for you. 

  • Select activity Sharing Cart (copy)

    This block (which was added to our installation in June 2020) allows teachers to copy content from one course to another without the need to import.

    
    
  • Select activity Adding Users to Your Moodle Course

    

    Adding Users to Your Moodle Course Page

    When adding other who need permission to add content to your courses, it is best to assign those individuals the role of "Publisher." This role has been updated to allow editing, but maintains students' privacy.

    This is often used to keep the current week or topic at the top of the page.
