Moodle
The Moodle system is a Learning Management System (LMS) that serves as the central platform for managing teaching in Technion courses. The system includes a site for each of the courses taught at the Technion, as well as a detailed set of guides on various topics.
The system allows access and efficient management of course materials, adding links to recorded lectures in the Panopto system, facilitating discussion groups (forums), assigning and submitting assignments, conducting exams, and more. The instructional team can organize the course material according to the academic calendar or in a way that best suits the course’s learning needs.
The Moodle system is based on infrastructure data obtained from the Technion systems: the courses in the academic year and semester, the students enrolled in the course, and the instructional team teaching the course. Identification in the system is based on the Technion authentication system – the Technion user. The instructional team and students are granted access according to registration and enrollment in the courses.
Towards the start of the academic year, new and blank Moodle course sites are set up automatically for each course opened that year and semester. The course material is set up and managed by the course’s instructional team, and the new course site can be based on another course site from a previous year and semester. By default, course data is hidden until the course construction is completed. Activation (unhiding) is done by the instructional team upon completion of the site setup.
