Your experience of Moodle depends on your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc). Moodle uses a number of underlying software technologies that you may not have installed. So before you start, it is worth checking that you have a compatible browser and the software you might need.
Follow the "Setting up your computer" link. You should also be aware of the "Guide to good online communication".
This section takes you through the various controls and things you will find on most courses.
In Moodle, like Facebook and other social network sites, you have a profile. Some of this is visible to everybody (for example, your picture and what you write about yourself), other bits are only accessible to you and your tutors, such as Grades (if you are a student).
Use this section to learn more about your profile and how to update it.
Since your profile is used so much, we recommend the first thing you do is upload a photo of yourself!
You will only need this section if you want further information and practice on downloading and/or uploading files, or just feel you need a reminder.
Use this section if you've not used a forum before or just want a refresher.
------------------------------
Explore the Administrative and Technical Support forum below (to navigate back from the forum just use the breadcrumb trail or the navigation menu). You can if you want raise an administrative query by starting a new discussion topic or even answering one.
