Educational Technology offered professional development workshops earlier this month. If you did not get a chance to attend the workshops, please check out our Pre-Semester workshop post for access to the recordings and more. 

Moodle Requests

Please refer to our procedures for and resources for Moodle. If you would like to request a integration of an external tool (ex: Perusall, Cengage, etc), please complete the Process for Requesting Moodle External Tool Integration.  

 For information on restoring or importing course content from another course, see our topic “Reusing Content” in the Moodle Professional Development course. 

If, after reviewing the instructions, you are uncomfortable moving materials, the Educational Technology staff is happy to import archived materials into your current course for you.  This will require completing this form and will take a day or two to complete. 

If you are teaching multiple sections of the same course or you and your colleagues teaching the same course want to share resources, you can request to have multiple sections combined into a metacourse by completing this form.
