Closing Out Spring 2025 Courses Articles
If you use the Moodle gradebook to calculate your students’ official course grades, you can use the WolfWare Grade Submit Tool to enter their final grades into MyPack (SIS). This will improve accuracy and save you time, while avoiding the need to manually enter final grades.
There may be situations where grade data for a specific grade item or items has been collected in another location. This article explains how to organize and upload that data directly into the Moodle gradebook in bulk by using a CSV spreadsheet.
During the semester, you may have created Moodle activities and gradebook items without categorizing them in the gradebook. This article walks you through the process of organizing, categorizing and moving activities/assignments within the gradebook to ensure everything is in its correct place.
If you have conducted in-person exams or offline assignments, those grades should be added to the Moodle gradebook. This article explains how to create a manual grade item in Moodle so that you can enter grade data for these offline assessments.
Getting Started with Summer 2025 Courses Articles
Moodle integrates with various instructional technologies—like Panopto, PlayPosit, Yellowdig, and Perusall—through Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) external tool links. These links ensure a smooth student experience and enable features like grade passback. New Moodle servers created between academic years can cause LTI external tool links to stop functioning, and the broken link must be paired with the external tool again.
In Moodle, sections are used to divide course content like activities and resources into meaningful categories for students to access and engage with, such as weekly content to review in sequential order, or chapters of a course textbook. Subsections can be added to sections to further organize content into collapsible categories with their own page.
In order to activate a Moodle course and start preparing for the semester, instructors will need to request their WolfWare space.
To start building a Moodle course or using another tool like Google Groups for that class, the WolfWare tool must first be activated.
It’s common for most instructors to want to use a previous version of a course as a template to prepare for the upcoming semester’s course. WolfWare includes a course copier tool that allows instructors to quickly duplicate a previous course as the starting point for an upcoming class.
- Adding or Removing People in a Moodle Course (Non SIS Faculty or Students)
When setting up a new WolfWare space and Moodle course, instructors may need to collaborate with other instructors or perhaps have a TA that needs access to the course. Note: this process is for users who are not already in the course via their official enrollment via SIS.
Instructors who have multiple sections of the same course may only want to manage one single Moodle space rather than multiple instances for each section. To do this, they may combine the rosters of each separate section into one WolfWare space and therefore only have to manage a single Moodle space that all students from each individual roster section have access to.
