Moodle implementation

Saint Martin's University has adopted Moodle as its university-wide course management system.  This teaching and learning tool has been available to both main campus and extension faculty and students since Summer 2008.  It can be used as an enhancement to traditional face-to-face courses and, on the extensions, as the delivery system or environment for fully online courses. Moodle is a full-featured open source course management system. Faculty can post their syllabus and assignments, host online discussions, give quizzes, collect assignments, maintain a grade book and more. Log in now.

Ongoing projects

In Spring 2009, we expect to complete an integration of Moodle with iTunes U, which supports podcasting, and a linkage with Dimdim, a Web conferencing tool.  We will also be providing Deans and Chairs with an "observer role," the ability to review online courses as part of their assessment process.  Finally, training continues.  Dr. Irina Gendelman will be offering both introductory workshops and sessions on more advanced topics, including the grade book and incorporating multimedia into classes.  Sign up for faculty workshops or make an appointment with Dr. Gendelman.
