About Dashboard

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 such as online assessment and activity deadlines. The page contains four blocks.

Dashboard with block drawer opened and each element numbered

  1. 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.
  2. Timeline
    • Direct access to activities that require action e.g. online assessments or activities with a due date. You can choose to display deadlines in the next week, month, or further into the future. Once you submit the relevant assessment or complete the activity, it is removed from your Timeline.
  3. Recently accessed modules
    • Quick access to modules last viewed. Select the module title to access the module.
  4. Module overview
    • Access modules on which you are enrolled by selecting the title of the module.
      • Use the All filter to select the relevant academic year and display modules for the relevant academic year.
      • You can star modules for quick access from the three dot ellipsis on the module card . You can then find your starred modules by selecting Starred from the All filter.
      • You can choose to sort your modules by module name or last accessed.
      • You can choose to display your modules in Card or List view.
      • Still can't find the module you are looking for? You can use the Search input field to search for a particular module code or name.
  5. Calendar
    • Open the Block drawer on the right of the page to access your Moodle calendar. This includes dates of events and assessments added to activities on modules you are enrolled on.
