This is one of many help and support pages that are available about the University of Nottingham's Moodle online learning environment. If you have any questions or queries concerning Moodle then contact information is at the bottom of this page. As a first step to finding the information you are looking for why not check out our FAQ - Your questions answered or try the SEARCH box below.
Moodle.Nottingham is the University?s online learning environment. Here you will find resources to support your learning such as files, handouts, videos and audio, web links and Announcements. You can take part in activities such as forums, submit assignments or collaborate online. The resources and activities available are chosen by your lecturers and vary from module to module.
Log into Moodle using your usual University username and password.
The first page is My Home. Your Module Overview is split between the Current Modules tab for 13-14 and ongoing modules, and Previous Modules tab for 12-13 and earlier modules.
TOP TIP! We recommend using the My Home page for accessing your modules: it?s easy to return to (use any of the My Home links, see screenshot below).
Don?t worry if only core modules appear – optional modules will appear after you have completed the module entry form, handed it in, and the School has had time to update your records. Once you have made your module choices and your School has added them, they will appear in your Moodle record on the next working day.
Some modules allow you to self-enrol – so you can look before you decide. You may not see all of the modules you expect to see immediately – please do not panic. Lecturers will make modules visible to you when they have finished preparing the module. Check with friends on the same course.
Each module has its own area. All resources and activities for your module are linked from the centre column. Assignments may be submitted online via Turnitin. The left and right columns contain blocks, which contain other useful information such as links to timetable & reading lists, RSS feeds, Library and Studying Effectively resources (the exact number and combination of blocks varies by module). An example is the Upcoming events block which links to the calendar. You can export calendar information and subscribe (and synchronise with other devices) via iCAL. Note that the Moodle calendar may not include all your timetable information - don't forget to check!
Below the calendar are options to export the calendar or get the calendar URL. More details are available in Syncing your calendar with Moodle Calendar
Moodle sends out emails to your University address only and this cannot be changed. By default emails from Moodle arrive once daily with all messages (including important Announcements) from all your modules compiled into a digest with the subject: Moodle.Nottingham Forum Digest.
TOP TIP: Please check your email regularly and read Moodle.Nottingham Forum Digest carefully!
Announcements can also be read in the Latest News block in your module. If you prefer, you can change your profile settings to receive a separate email every time Moodle sends you one (see the Help website for how to do this).
Please contact your local elearning support team.
