University Courses

Official University Courses are added to Moodle automatically when they are entered into Banner.  If a faculty member sees a course in MyBethel > Faculty Academics > Active Courses  then the course should show up in your My Courses list in Moodle. Courses are built in Moodle 180 days prior to the term start. This policy allows Moodle to not be flooded with unused courses but also allows time for faculty to prep courses in advance.

Troubleshooting:

  • If you do not see your course listed in MyBethel contact your Department Chair, Program Director, or the Registrar's office.
  • If your course is listed in MyBethel but not in Moodle contact the ITS Help Desk at 651.638.6500 or helpdesk@bethel.edu

Community Courses

Community courses are Moodle sites that are used for Departmental, Club, Group, etc. purposes.  These reside in a special section on our Moodle system. Enrollments are not automatic and need to be managed by the Community site manager.

Request a community site by contacting the Instructional Technologist at justin-aakre@bethel.edu. 

Managers are then responsible to add others via either the TA role (same as Manager) or Student View role (student-like role)

Community Courses are not to be used for official for University courses.  Community courses should also not be used to create email lists to do mass email communication.  Such communication should be done in collaboration with Communications and Marketing using appropriate email lists.
