Moodle is UAL’s virtual learning environment (VLE). It helps students manage their learning by providing structured information about their course and their assessments. Moodle is where students go to participate in online discussions, join synchronous online sessions, and find materials that support their learning and independent study time as well as submit assessments. It is also where staff go to communicate with their students, upload learning materials, and create their course’s online presence.
There are four types of Moodle sites – the School site, the Course Site, Unit sites, and Community sites. These are accessible through your Moodle dashboard. To view your Moodle dashboard, log into moodle.arts.ac.uk with your UAL login details.
Staff are responsible for preparing their Moodle sites every year at the start of term. To help you prepare your Moodle sites, we have consolidated our advice in 10 simple principles known as our Moodle Top Ten where you can also download advice on how to ensure your Moodle sites are navigable, accessible, mobile friendly, and visually appealing.
