Moodle
Moodle is our Virtual Learning Environment. It provides an expansive digital space where you can engage with your course materials, participate in a variety of activities and collaborate with peers and educators. Key features include links to Reading Lists and Timetables for your Modules; discussion forums to share thoughts, ideas and engage in intellectual debates; Panopto to review recorded lectures at your convenience; and a robust assessment system that includes quizzes & assignments, offering diverse methods to submit your assessments and a bespoke feedback tracker.
What can it do?
Moodle has a wide range of tools to support learning and teaching, including tools to:
share resources (documents, handouts, reading lists, videos)
support communication (announcements, discussion forums, chat, blog)
support assessment (quizzes, assignments, Turnitin checking, grades and feedback)
Who can use it?
Moodle is available to all UCL staff and students.
Accessibility advice
A note for keyboard users: some secondary navigation tabs for your Moodle course can be navigated initially using the tab key but further navigation of the menus requires the use of cursor keys.
To customise the look and feel of webpages such as Moodle, there are a range of freely available tools. AbilityNet offers suggestions on how to adapt colour and display settings on your device. You can also change colours and contrast to your preference by using a variety of third party tools such as Colour Enhancer for Chrome or Colour Changer for Firefox. Alternatively, a high contrast viewer such as High Contrast for Chrome may make your viewing experience easier. Pixie Reader offers a range of alternative means of presentation for web content.
Please also see the student guide on Anthology Ally, a tool which will allow you to convert content your lecturers have uploaded in Moodle to alternative formats.
