● How do I get to Moodle?

○ The website address is http://moodle.latech.edu

● What is my username and password?

○ Your login information is your standard university username and password; the

same as you use for e-mail.

● I don’t know my username!

○ Search for your name in the university directory at:

http://ir.latech.edu/directory/directory.php

● I don’t know my password!

○ Use the “Forgot Password” facility at https://password.latech.edu/. You’ll need

your Tech CWID, BOSS PIN, and your date of birth.

● Why are my courses are not showing up?

○ Enrollments occur as students and instructors are fed into the system

automatically based upon the data available from the registrar’s office. Students

could be missing for several reasons, including some type of record hold (fees,

missing paperwork, etc). Some times students end up with more than one

username. Check with your instructor to see if perhaps you are listed under

a different username. Please note that students are not being enrolled into all

Moodle courses for Fall 2010, only upon request of an instructor. Instructors

missing are usually a result of the assignments not being updated with the

registrar. Timely updates of instructor assignments with the registrar is essential

to assuring access to courses for instructors.

● Why does my Blackboard converted course look different than a regular Moodle

course?

○ There will be some things such as labels and ordering that you will have to clean

up. Remember, the courses converted from Blackboard will be a template for

your Moodle course. No students will be enrolled in the course. After you have

the content cleaned up, you’ll be able to copy the content into the production

Moodle course.

● Why are there no blocks in my converted course?

○ Converted courses only contain the Blackboard content. You’ll want to turn on

editing and add the “Administration” block at a minimum.

● When can I start working on my winter courses?

○ If you have previous Blackboard content, follow the conversion process and

use the converted course as a starting point. The list of winter courses won’t be

released by the registrar until October 18th. We will not be generating winter

courses on Moodle until the registrar releases the official list. Too many things

can change before that date (section numbers, instructor assignments) and we

do not have the resources to manually keep this up to date.
