As always, when beginning a blog, paper, project, house kit, etc. it is good to know where the instructions are. So depending on your role here at Thomas, there are several places that you may consider looking for Moodle instructions.
User Role: Student
A Student's experience with Moodle will be somewhat different than a Professor's experience, and so the questions students have may vary somewhat and focus more on usability and customization of profiles, finding your grades, syncing a moodle calendar with your mobile device or calendar, etc.
The majority of students can find the answer to their Moodle Questions on the
IT FAQ page: http://www.thomas.edu/it/faq/cms.asp.
Students may also receive Moodle help from the Thomas College Service Desk located in the library. Email the Service desk: (servicedesk AT thomas.edu).
User Role: Professor
Instructors will have a very different experience than students when using Moodle. Course Instructors are given many tools in Moodle to design and customize their course to best fit their personal teaching style and course goals/outcomes.
Due to Moodle's highly customizable nature, there are many sites, and even a Thomas College Moodle course providing techniques and instructions for setting up a course. However, I am only going to list the site and course we maintain, and the official Moodle page this time (later, I may explore other sites).
Instruction Sites for Faculty:
Moodle Course: Faculty Resources for Moodle (All instructors are automatically enrolled in this course. If this course does not appear in your Moodle course listings please contact the service desk).
IT Moodle FAQ page: http://www.thomas.edu/it/faq/cms.asp
Official Moodle page: http://moodle.org/
As always faculty are more than welcome to contact the Service Desk in the Library if they have specific questions or training needs.
