Getting Started with Moodle

The CNSC Learning Management System was prepared using version 3.8 of
Moodle as the platform and may be subjected to minor changes with upgrades.
The word Moodle was originally an acronym for Modular Object-Oriented
Dynamic Learning Environment, which is mostly useful to programmers and
education theorists. It's also a verb that describes the process of lazily meandering
through something, doing things as it occurs to you to do them, an enjoyable
tinkering that often leads to insight and creativity. As such it applies both to the way
Moodle was developed, and to the way a student or teacher might approach studying
or teaching an online course. Anyone who uses Moodle is a Moodler.
Moodle is based on the Open Source model of software development, which
involves releasing code for future versions early and often, allowing the community
to bug test and drive the development in terms of features. The source code (from
which the program is created) is available free of charge and anyone is permitted to
modify or sell the product, provided the source code of such changes are provided
free of charge to the community. One of the biggest advantages to this model is that
anyone can contribute to the code to fix errors, optimize performance and enhance
security. The vast majority of open source products make money from support and
development fees. Examples include Firefox, Linux and the Apache Webserver.

Student role
 A user with the Student role in Moodle can participate in course activities and
view resources but not alter them or see the class gradebook. They can see their
own grades if the teacher has allowed this.
 When a student first joins Moodle they see all available courses. Once they have
enrolled or been enrolled into at least one course they then only see their own
courses in the My Courses section of the navigation block or via their dashboard.
 A student's view and navigation in Moodle will be different from the course
teacher's or from students assigned to a different group.

How do I take an exam/quiz in the CNSC LMS?

Before beginning an exam or quiz

• Be sure you’ve studied the course material!

As most of your exams will be timed, it is imperative you use your time
wisely. Being prepared will reduce much of the stress associated with taking
exams.

• Be sure you have enough free time to finish the exam!

Once you press the start button on an exam, the timer will begin and
continue to count down until time has expired, whether you are actively
taking the exam or not.

Do not navigate to other pages in LMS while you have the exam open.
This can cause issues with your submission.

• Be sure you have a reliable Internet connection.

You should only start exams from a reliable Internet connection.

• Be sure you fully submit the exam once you are finished.

Starting an exam or quiz

 Select the exam from the course home page.

The next page has your instructor’s directions for the exam, information about the
number of attempts allowed and time limit, and the Attempt quiz now button. Be
sure you have enough time to finish your exam.

instructor’s directions, use the Attempt quiz now button to begin your attempt.

require you to select the correct answer from a drop-down menu.
When you have answered all of the questions on a page, use the Next button
at the bottom of the page to navigate to the next page, or to begin the
submission process if you are on the last page.
