How do I find Moodle at LCC?
Classes.lanecc.edu is the only web address/bookmark
you and your students need. You will always login with your L# and
ExpressLane PIN.
How do I find my Moodle course?
An empty Moodle course shell is created for EVERY course in
Banner, and is listed on the instructor's Moodle home page, in the My Courses section. By
default, these courses are invisible to students. An instructor
will simply need to decide whether to use it or not. If you want to start working on a new course that is not yet available in your My Courses list, email the ATC to get a development shell.
For which courses should I use Moodle?
Moodle can be used for fully online courses, hybrid and traditional courses
What are the Software Requirements to easily EDIT my Moodle course:
ANY web browser can be used to -see- Moodle courses. To edit your
courses you need to use the following:
- Windows: Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Mozilla
- Mac: Firefox or Mozilla
**Pop-ups and cookies must be enabled.
How do I send a single email out to my entire Moodle class?
There are two ways to do it:
- Send a message to all partcipants (sends
out a standard email; students can reply)
- Set up an announcement forum - students cannot reply (2mb flash / 22sec.)
- return to top -
We recommend that you attend a Moodle Introduction workshop (see Schedule). If you want to get started on your own, or if you have attended the workshop and want a refresher, here are the basic self-study materials for new Moodlers. A variety of additional resources are listed on Moodle: General Support.
