Moodle at Lafayette College

With the start of the school year, faculty are curious as to how they can copy content from an old course into a new one. Moodle supports this ability, and we've documented how to do it on the ITS web site: Copying course material from one Moodle course to another.

Please note, some faculty have reported "ghost activities" appearing when importing an old course's content into a new course. These ghosts are empty duplicates of legitimate activities in the courses.

We're working with the Moodle community on a permanant fix for this problem, but for now we have a simple backend process that cleans up the errant ghosts. If you have one of these problem courses, please email newquisk@lafayette.edu or call 610-330-5759 with the name and number of the problem course, and we'll clean it up ASAP.

Students: You do not have automatic access to Moodle sites for all your courses; you will only see a course in your "My Courses" block if the teacher is using Moodle and has made the course available to students.

Faculty: Please remember when you are ready for students to have access to your course, go to Settings and change the availability so it reads "This course is available to students." More detailed directions are online.

Faculty, if you do not see your courses in Moodle or you need course enrollments merged, contact the help desk with the course information (including section, ie ENG110 section 09) and we can assign the site to you.
