Moodle - Course Visibility for Enrolled Students

Understanding Course Visibility in Moodle

Summary

Course access is maintained out of our campus records system, Banner.  Typically if an instructor is assigned to a course or if a student is enrolled in a course then they are added to the "participant" list in a Moodle course.  However, faculty determine when a course will be made "visible" for student access to a Moodle course site both prior to and after a course. You also may have "hidden" a course and so click on the "manage hidden courses" link at the bottom of your My Courses page in Moodle to see if the course is hidden and if it is just click the "show course " icon to the right of the course.

Moodle Course Visibility for Enrolled Students:

1. First check to see that you are enrolled in your courses via the student academic tab in my.bethel.  If you are enrolled then:
   
   
   1. If you do not see your course in Moodle, please contact the instructor and ask if they are using Moodle or if they have made the course visible.
       
   2. If your instructor does not see you in the Moodle Participants list for the course, please contact TLT at TLT@bethel.edu with the course ID and section , (course name and number - BIO199 section 1)
       
2. If you are not enrolled in the course (i.e. the course does not show your registration in my.bethel or Banner, please contact your student success advisor or the Registrar's Office.
    
3. If you would like a course to NOT show up in your course list, you can just click the "Hide course in the course overview list" button to the right of the course name in your Moodle My Courses list of courses.
    
4. If you can no longer see a completed course in Moodle, this is a result of the Instructor making the course hidden to students or of your hiding your course.  Please contact the instructor if you have any questions or need access to the course.  We recommend that students retrieve any resources they need from a Moodle course site prior to the end of the course in case the instructor does at some point make the course unavailable (hidden) to students after the completion of the course.
