ICT OfficeMoodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) is free learning support software available to classes and accessible anytime, anywhere in an online environment on the Internet.
Faculty members can publish syllabi and course materials online, assign coursework to students, evaluate submitted assignments, administer quizzes that include multiple-choice and written questions, and manage academic performance.
Students can download the materials provided, respond to quizzes that have been administered, and submit their assignments as files.
In addition, the bulletin board feature allows faculty to post announcements and provides a space for communication and discussion among students.

Important Tips
Moodle courses are NOT connected to Loyola.
Students will not be enrolled in a course unless they register for it themselves, so please guide them through the registration process on the Syllabus and at the beginning of class.
As students who are not enrolled in the course may register, the [Enrollment Key] should be set if registration is to be limited to enrolled students only.
How to Reuse a Moodle Course
Instead of reusing the course itself, please duplicate it using the Backup & Restore procedure. Renaming and reusing the original course can lead to various issues.
Hiding courses that are no longer needed
Please “close an eye” on the list of courses to hide them from students.
See Chapter 4, 4.7 (go to the category of your name, click on the “Manage courses” and close the eye icon)
When a student unenrolls from a Moodle course, submitted assignments and other materials are no longer visible to the teacher. (After re-enrollment, all records will be restored.)
Therefore, we make it impossible for a student to unenroll from courses except during the registration period.
The old courses that remain “visible” after the class ends are an eyesore for many students, so please “hide” courses that are no longer needed as soon as possible.
