Student Guide to Moodle
If you're new to Moodle, this guide will provide information about getting started and using many of the common tools and features used at LSUA.
To navigate through this guide, click on a chapter name in the table of contents on the right or use the arrows in the upper and lower right corner of each page. (If you don't see the table of contents on the right, you'll find it below the content of each page.)
Participating in Discussion Forums
- Online forums allow you to reflect and share your thoughts about what you are learning. Messages remain posted in the forum for participants to read and respond to within a time frame set by your instructor.
- Online discussions are usually considered to be homework, so be sure to review your writing prior to posting your thoughts.
- There is usually a 15-minute delay before posts are no longer editable.
- Follow your instruction’s guidelines carefully to ensure that you receive proper credit for your postings.
- Some discussion forums will use a Turnitin Plagiarism detector. If so, you will notice a small Turnitin symbol at the bottom left of your submission.
