Moodle Setup Best Practices

Here are some Educational Technology’s top Moodle best practices to help you as you work on your courses.

Step 1: Visit Moodle Professional Development Course

The Moodle Professional Development Course is your one stop shop for everything that will need to help you get your Moodle course up and running. Within the course, you will find the following areas to help you to set up your Moodle course(s):

  • Getting Started
  • Moodle Resources
  • Course Settings
  • Ready to Launch
  • Content
  • Communication
  • Activities
  • Feedback Options
  • Assignments
  • Quiz
  • Gradebook
  • FYS

Step 2: Course Settings to Keep in Mind

Here are some things to keep in mind with your course settings.

  • Be sure to make your course visible when you are ready for your students to see the course materials. You can learn how in our Moodle Professional Development course.
  • Do not set a course end date for your course otherwise students will not be able to see your course after it finishes.
  • If you use the weekly format, make sure you do not click on “calculate end date by the number of sections” button. Students will no longer be able to see the course if you do so.
  • You can add a course image
  • Learn about the different course formats that you can use
  • Add blocks to your course to help assist you and your students

Step 3: Import Course Materials into New Course

Want to reuse materials from an old course in Moodle? Follow these steps from our Technology Documentation.
