Once logged in to Moodle (moodle4.city.ac.uk), staff and students land on the Dashboard page. The page provides access to modules and activities that require action e.g, grading for staff and assessment deadlines for students. The page contains five blocks.
- Advanced Notifications
- IT use this block to keep users up to date about any issues impacting on Moodle.
- This block will not display in your Dashboard if there are no IT updates available.
- Timeline
- Direct access to activities that require action e.g. due dates for Video and Turnitin assignments. Moodle assignments only display in the Timeline for staff where a remind me to grade date has been set. You can choose to display deadlines in the next week, month, or further into the future.
