Whittier College will upgrade to Moodle 2 for the Fall 2013 semester and we are excited to share with you some of the new and improved features!

The upgrade will NOT happen until the Spring semester has ended and grades have been locked into the Registrars database.

Training workshops will be scheduled every week throughout the summer beginning as soon as the upgrade has been announced. One-on-One training can also be scheduled.

Instructors with summer classes will receive help and support as they manage their class.

We will be upgrading to Version 2.3 which offers exciting improvements. Teachers and students will benefit from features such as:

Activity tracking Conditional activities Improved text editing features Rubric grading and more... Read about the improvements in Moodle 2.3

Turnitin is plagiarism identification software which enables students to check their work for improper citation or potential plagiarism.

Manuals and Best Practice Workshops for using Turnitin through Moodle:

For faculty:

• Turnitin Manual for Instructors
• Turnitin Training Academy
  

For students:

• Turnitin Manual for Students
• Turnitin Training Academy
  

The Files folder in the Administration block is visible to Teacher and Non-editing Teacher, but NOT visible to Students. This allows the teacher to upload all files for the course at one time, then pick and chose the files they want the student to see by making them visible on the course front page.

For a short time this fall there was a permission override that allowed students to see that same file folder in the Administration block. The permissions have been set back to default, which prevents the folder from showing up for students. IF you were using this visible folder to allow students to view files... we can make your Files folder visible on your front page again with the Display a Directory resource.

Should your need this, send an email indicating which class and I'll be happy to make the folder available.

Happy Moodling and stay dry!
