The 15-Minute Guide for Teachers on Getting Started with Moodle

“Moodle” is a fun word — and so is teaching with it! At least, when you know how to work with the platform or, if nothing else, have an idea of what happens after you click a certain button. If you are a teacher who is new to Moodle and you’re looking to explore the platform’s capabilities, this guide is for you.

Moodle is a platform for online learning that enables you to create e-courses, add assignments, and keep an eye on your student's progress. It also allows you to communicate with the students and encourage communication between them in forums and discussions. In short, the platform is multi-faceted and flexible, so it’s easy to get confused when learning your way around for the first time.

This guide covers the basics of getting started with Moodle and some of the main everyday tasks you’ll need to do as a teacher. You’ll learn how to create courses and tests for Moodle and how to invite learners, provide them with assignments, and track their results. We’ve also included some useful links so you can dive even deeper into certain topics, if necessary.

You can also grab this guide as a PDF to print out or just read it when it’s convenient for you.
