Prepare for Spring!

The IT department wishes you a successful Spring semester!   To help that happen, we suggest reviewing the following best practices and tips for updating your Moodle courses.

• Prepare your online quizzes to avoid time out problems, set security settings, and to promote quality assessments.   To do so, see these links.
• Optimal Security Setting for Moodle Quiz Activity 
• Time Limits for Moodle Quizzes and Tests
• Best Practices for Classroom Assessments
• Make sure your course is available to students by January 14. See this link for instructions.
• Preview resources and assessments, checking that images are viewable, hyperlinks are still active, and that content is up to date.
• Online instructors can use this template to welcome students to their course. 
• Check that open/close dates are accurate for activities and quizzes.
