Schools have been given the option to request that all content is transferred from 12-13 modules into 13-14 modules as a starting point. For some Schools and module convenors (and for new modules), we understand that you will be starting from scratch OR brining your own content into the module.  If you have any questions please contact your local Moodle representative or learning-team-support@nottingham.ac.uk

FAQ

Q. When will I see my modules for 13-14?

The modules are being created now (July). As they  are created you will see the same ones as last year - oif if these are not correct, you should contact the existing editing teacher of your new module to have yourself added (or if unavailable, your local Moodle representative or learning-team-support@nottingham.ac.uk)

...

In the Year End and Archive Block click the "+ New version" and complete the form on the next screen. This will put the new module into our queue and you should shortly find that it has appeared in your module list.

Q. How do I get the existing content into the module so I can start setting up for 13-14?

If we have been asked, we will transfer content from 12-13 modules to 13-14 modules. Otherwise there is a simple import process which will transfer any or all material that you specify.

 If you have any questions please contact your local Moodle representative or learning-team-support@nottingham.ac.uk

Q. I don't want to have to import my content - can't it be done automatically?

It is not possible to import content automatically - Moodle doesn't have this feature. However for a limited time in July the learning Learning Team are able to do this for you. Please contact your local Moodle representative or learning-team-support@nottingham.ac.uk

Q> Q. What will happen to the 12-13 module?

Q. Can I edit 12-13 modules?

Q. What if I need access to a module I didn't have in 12-13?

Q. What if I have a 13-14 module I'm no longer teaching?

 You can easily "hand over" the module.  Enrol the new module convenor / contributor on the module and they can then unenrol you. 

Q. How will my "My Home" page and Module Overview change?

 In due course you will see a change to the My Home screen in the Module Overview.  You will have one tab for current and ongoing (perpetual) modules and one tab for Archived modules (12-13 and previously).  This give you rapid access to your current modules while also giving you access if required to your old modules.

Q. I am a Teacher or Observer on some modules - will I see the new ones?

 You will normally see the modules that you had an equivalenbt role on in 12-13.  This may be adjusted by the School or Learning Technology Section.

If your modules are not correct, you should contact the existing editing teacher of your new module to have yourself added (or if unavailable, your local Moodle representative or learning-team-support@nottingham.ac.uk)

Q. How do I import content?

See the page How to copy or import a resource or activity (or multiple items) from one module to another

Q. Do restrict-by dates carry over into the new modules?

Moodle has no facility to increment dates such as resource restriction dates or deadlines. You will need to reset dates in the new module.
