All modules for the 2024/25 year will be created in Moodle 4, which can be found at moodle4.city.ac.uk.
All 2024/25 SITS modules must first be created on SITS and the modules will become available on Moodle within 24 hours.
Lecturer enrolments will be copied over from 2023/24 modules on a weekly basis from July to September. Any additional Lecturer enrolments/unenrolments on modules should be handled as normal through the schools' Course Office teams
Non-SITS modules which take enrolments from SITS modules (using the course meta link enrolment method in Moodle) were created on 21st June 2024, providing they were in use in 2023/24.
Staff will need to recreate any enrolments by adding new course meta links.
If MDL modules are taking enrolments from SITS coded modules, please note that these SITS modules will be visible to students on the default term start date or on the date populated in the Date for first class field in e:Vision. If you do not want students to access these SITS modules, you will need to manually hide them via module settings so that they are not available to students.
Generic modules (shortcodes starting GEN, such as Programme Module Spaces) which take enrolments from business rules were created on 21st June 2024, providing they were in use in 2023/24.
Each generic module must have a corresponding business rule to describe how enrolments are managed. Business rules that were used in 2023/24 will be applied to 2024/25 modules. IT send details of business rules applied to Heads of Academic Services in Schools to check for any changes. Changes required to the rules, need to be requested via Generic Service Request form on IT Self Service Portal.
You can request new generic modules using the Request Non SITS Moodle module form on the IT Self Service Portal.
Lecturer enrolments will be copied over from 2023/24 modules on a weekly basis from July to September.
If you require urgent access to any 2023/24 module, a course officer with Programme Administrator access can enrol you on the module.
If you are teaching on a module for the first time, a course officer with Programme Administrator access can enrol you on the module.
Any additional Lecturer enrolments/unenrolments on modules should be handled as normal through the schools' Course Office teams.
If modules are new for the 2024/25 academic year, the schools' Course Office teams will need to manually enrol staff as Lecturers
Most taught modules will be created using the City Course Format. Your taught modules (including SITS, GEN and MDL) should use a consistent format to support students in navigating through modules and locating important information.
You may wish to turn off some of the features when not required for generic modules (such as the Timetable link and Reading List link).
Turn Edit Mode on and select the eye icon alongside the relevant links to show or hide them on the Module dashboard.
Your students will be automatically enrolled on SITS modules on completion of their registration. Enrolment for non-SITS modules is managed in one of two ways:
If a module start date for the new academic year is not entered into SITS when the Moodle 4 module is created, it will become available to students on the following dates:
GEN modules (which take enrolments from business rules) and MDL modules (which take enrolments from meta links) are set to Hidden by default and you will need to manually make these visible in time for the start of the academic year.
If you want the module to become visible at a certain date in the future you will need to add/amend the Module start date.
