Moodle minimum

Every Saint Martin's course will have a Moodle course created and students enrolled.  When created, the courses will be hidden from students, so that faculty will have an opportunity to add content prior to students logging in.  As the "Moodle minimum," all courses should eventually have the following:

• Syllabus. Administrative assistants will be trained to load a syllabus, should some faculty members prefer not to use Moodle themselves.

• Course evaluation form. This will be included automatically in each Moodle course, albeit "hidden".  Faculty (or their division's administrative assistant) will need to adjust the dates the evaluation will be available for students.  All online courses will use the online course evaluation form.  Other faculty will have the option of piloting the form or continuing to use the paper form. Faculty will not have access to the results until after grades are due.  Currently use of the online evaluation form is at the discretion of each division's dean.

The Moodle minimum will give students a single place to look for their course syllabus and any online course materials. Those faculty wishing to use their faculty homepage or a publisher's site for course materials can easily include a link directing their students to this resource in the Moodle course.
