Student Resources

At the University of Lethbridge, not all classes will have a Moodle course component. Instructors are given the option to use Moodle if they wish. If your instructor has informed you that the course will be online in Moodle but you are unable to see the course, please check the following.

If you are new to taking exams in the Testing Centre, this article will walk you through the steps so that you know what to expect before your exam.

 

Spring Hours: 
Monday - Friday: 9am - 9pm
Saturdays: 9am - 5pm
Sundays and Holidays: Closed
Reading Week: Closed (Saturday, Feb. 17th - Sunday, Feb. 25th inclusive) 
 
Location: E630. University Hall. 

If you're in a course that requires handwritten work (e.g. math or chemistry) your instructor may have chosen to have you use Crowdmark for assignments and tests.

To assist with remote assessment, the University of Lethbridge acquired a license for the Crowdmark online grading platform. If you're in a course that requires handwritten work (e.g. math or chemistry) your instructor may have chosen to have you use Crowdmark for assignments and tests.

If you have a discussion forum in Moodle you can choose to Subscribe or Unsubscribe to the forum. If you subscribe to a forum in Moodle you will not only see the post in the Moodle forum on your course page but you will also receive an email in your UofL email account to notify you that a new post was made in the forum. One exception is that if the instructor has chosen to make the forum a forced subscription you have no choice but to receive emails on every discussion posting.

One of the activities that instructors may use as a communication tool in moodle is the built in chat functionality. Chat rooms are generally set up as part of office hours, or in topic or weekly areas, in which case each chat will most likely correspond to the topic you are working within.

 

To participate in a chat room:

1. Click on the chat room link located in the resource and activities area OR if the activity block has been enabled by your instructor, you can click on Chats in the activities tab and the specific chat room you wish to enter.

A few options will be available to you when you enter the chat.

Chat options

A. Past Sessions

If any past chat sessions from this room are available, you can see logs here. The instructor has the right to restrict access to past logs, so if you do not have access to past sessions, this could have been prevented by the instructor. This link may also be unavailable if there are no past sessions as of yet; as past session are logged, the link should be made available.

B. Enter the chat

This is the most likely option, and will pop the chat room into a new window. The interface is simple at this point. Type your message in the text field and hit enter, or click send. Your message will appear in the dialogue. Other messages from other users will appear here as well.

C. Use a more accessible interface

This still opens the chat in a new window for you to send messages, but the interface has many options such as a refresh and a the option to show only new messages rather than all the past messages in the current chat session.
