    Collapse all Expand all

    This section contains directions for changing course visibility, copying course content, adding and managing users, and improving the usability of your classroom. 

    • Course Completion Dates (copy) Page

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

    • My Class Isn't Showing Page

      If the courses students expect to see are not on their dashboard, suggest try these steps! If they submit a help ticket, this is what we will suggest, so you can get that back into your class sooner by pointing them here.

    • Course Visibility Page

      Faculty have control over the visibility of courses. If it is set to "Hide," then it will be unavailable to students.

    • Navigating Your Classroom Page

      Once inside their classroom, faculty use several controls for building the classroom.

    • Adding Quickmail & Other Blocks Page

      The tools on the right of Moodle pages are called blocks. Teachers can add them and manage them themselves.

    • Calculated Course Dates Page

      When courses that use a weekly topic are copied from other semesters, the course dates can be calculated from a new start date. Directions are here.

    • Class Announcements Page

      There is a "Course Announcements" forum added to each Moodle classroom at GCC by default. Any announcements added to that forum are both posted there and sent to students automatically. 

    • Formatting Item Titles Page

      With the new version of Moodle (3.11 in summer 2021), GCC faculty can now add simple html tags to item titles to add formatting.

    • 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. 

    • Reset a Course Page

      If you discover you have imported from the wrong classroom, use the steps described here to reset it.

    • Using the Attendance Plugin Page
