When adding a syllabus, we recommend using PDF format rather than Word or some other format.  Using a PDF ensures that students will be able to view the syllabus within their browser, without needing to download it.  Upload your syllabus following the instructions in our tutorial on adding files.

If you've taught the course recently, and want to re-use a previous semester's Moodle content, you can import your old class and edit it for this semester.   If you want to copy over only a few items from a previous semester, rather than an entire course, use the Sharing Cart block.

The Course Template provides headers and other items to help you organize your content and make your course easier for your students to navigate.  After loading it, update and make visible the relevant items.

If you copied old Turnitin assignments into your new class, you'll need to use the Course Reset screen to ensure that previous Turnitin assignments will work with your new course.

If you use Edpuzzle for any of your videos, you should not reuse Edpuzzle assignments that you've copied from another course.  Doing so may leave some students unable to access the copied Edpuzzle assignments.  Please delete any copied Edpuzzle assignments and re-add them as new Edpuzzle assignments.

This is an issue that Edpuzzle is aware of, and they're working on fixing it.

You can set the due dates for assignments, open/close times for quizzes, and dates for Turnitin assignments all on one page using the Dates Report.

You're the teacher for your course, so what you see on Moodle doesn't exactly match what the students see.  So once your course is ready for students, double-check by viewing your course as a student.

By default, Moodle courses are invisible to students to give you a chance to set up your course.  When you're done, make your course visible.

You can let the students know the course is ready by using the Announcements forum to send the class a message.  A message will be sent to the Manhattan College email account of all students enrolled in the class.  The announcement will also be visible by clicking on the Announcements forum itself.  Your must make your course visible before doing this, or the announcement will not be emailed.
