For all online students as well as for those who are attending a traditional class that has online supplements, welcome to Moodle!
PLEASE NOTE: Most SCC online courses do not allow you access until the first day of online classes - MONDAY, January 23th. However, because some courses have other start dates, please consult your course schedule for the official start date for your online class. However, realize that if you log in to Moodle before your course's start date, you will see your course(s) on the list of all classes, but will not be able to enter it (them).
In the meantime, if you are new to SCC Moodle please go ahead and create an account for yourself (instructions below).
In some cases, your instructors may allow you to log in to your course before the official start date. Please contact them for more information.
Creating your Account
On SCC's Moodle site, click the login link at the top. If this is your first time using Moodle, you will need to create an account by clicking the “Create new account” button on the “Login to the site” page. On the new account page, complete the fields in red that are follow by asterisks. (These are required.) You MUST use your @shawneecc.edu email address with your Moodle account. If you enter a different email account, Moodle will not let you complete your account. Further, registering your email account will allow you to reset your password if you lose it. After creating your account, you will need to log in to your SCC email account to confirm your registration.
For more instructions about creating a Moodle account, please review the document "Shawnee College Moodle - Creating an Account".
Adding a Class to your Account
Once you log in to Moodle, you will find your course from the list of courses under its appropriate label in the Course Categories list. Click on the name of your course to enroll yourself in it. (Some classes may require an enrollment key that you can get from your instructor or from the Moodle administrator.)
Once enrolled, clicking on the name of your course will take you to your class website where you can view and submit assignments, participate in activities and review the other supporting materials specific to your course. All official course activities – discussions, tests, assignments, etc – will take place within the course websites in your course list, not from the Moodle home page.
Using Moodle 101
To help you learn how to use the basic features of Moodle a "Moodle 101" course is available to you. This course is an optional, ungraded, self-paced tutorial that will provide instruction on using Moodle's core instructional tools. All students with Moodle accounts will have access to the Moodle 101 course.
Some instructors may require you to complete the Moodle 101 course before beginning work on your online class. Please review the documentation in your online class or contact your instructor for more information about whether this is a requirement for you.
Moodle Support Request
If you need assistance with the log-on process, please submit a ticket through the Moodle Help Request form available in the “Academic Support Links” area of the Moodle home page or contact the Teaching and Learning Center at the Ullin campus.
