Transferring content

Schools have been given the option to request that all content is transferred from last year's modules into the new modules as a starting point. For some Schools and module convenors (and for new modules), we understand that you will be starting from scratch (using the template from your School) OR bringing your own content into the module.   If you have any questions please contact your local Moodle representative or learning-technologies@nottingham.ac.uk.

FAQ

Q. When will I see my modules for the new academic year?

The modules are created from June onwards. As they are created you will see new versions of your last year's modules - if these are not correct, and you need to see other modules, you should contact the existing editing teacher of your new module to have yourself added (or if unavailable, your local Moodle representative or learning-technologies@nottingham.ac.uk).

Q. What will a new module have in it?

...

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

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

...

In order to preserve the integrity of the archive, modules are not editable once they have been moved into the archive.
