Title: Moodle course timeline

Moodle course life cycle

This shows the an example of the typical one year life cycle of a Moodle course; along with the admin processes that create it. The 17-18 to 18-19 academic year in this timeline is used just as an example year.

2018,05,01 to 2018,05,31: Course pull from ProSolution to Moodle

Once the Curriculum Course structure has been finalised, last year's active Moodle courses will be re-imported into Moodle for the forthcoming academic year.

2018,05,25 to 2018,07,29: Missing course request

If your course has not appeared on Moodle, it is likely that the course was not active on Moodle during the previous academic year. Email IT services with the full course code for the missing qualification. We will then import this overnight.

2018,06,01 to 2018,09,04: Preparing your course

Now that your course is active, you need to populate it with relevant content ready for your students. If you have resources on a course from a previous academic year, you can use the course import process to copy the resources over to your blank course.

2018,08,24 to 2018,09,04: Student enrolment

The majority of new students will enrol onto their courses during this period. Student information will then be ready for export from ProSolution into Moodle.

2018,09,07 to 2018,09,09: Students Induction

Students log onto their IT accounts and Moodle for the first time.

Logging onto Moodle for the first time pulls the student information directly onto the relevant course pages.

2018,09,10 to 2019,08,31: Moodle Course Use

The Moodle Course will be available for student use until the begining of the forthcoming academic year.

2018,10,01 to 2018,06,28: Mid year courses

Mid year courses will follow a similar structure.

If your course is not on Moodle, email IT services with the course code and we'll activate this for you.
