Introduction to Moodle for students

Every taught module at the University of Kent has an associated Moodle module available for use by staff to help them deliver online teaching resources to students. These modules are hidden by default and are 'turned on' by your teachers when they are ready to use. If you can not see one of your modules in Moodle please contact the relevant module convenor/lecturer.

In September 2012 the University will be moving to an upgraded Moodle to offer more functionality and an improved user interface. Changes include the facility to minimise or “dock” blocks, and a "profile bar" with links to your modules and profile information. The basic structure and layout of the module content will remain unchanged, and you will find all your module materials and documentation in the same place. Click here to download a document outlining the changes. 

For documentation on using Moodle (including Turnitin), please refer to our student how-to guides, and a student orientation video.

If you have any queries on how Moodle is being for your modules, please consult your lecturer. Any students experiencing technical difficulties with Moodle should contact the IS helpdesk, please refer to http://www.kent.ac.uk/itservices/help/index.html.

Old Modules

At the end of each academic year your Moodle modules are moved to an archive. These archives will allow you to access the resources previously available (including those which were available prior to 2009-10 via WebCT). You can go directly to the archive via a link available at the bottom of every page in the live Moodle.
