Most staff will probably be aware that we have access to a Staff Resource Area within Moodle, but did you know there is an equivalent Student Resource Area where all students are automatically enrolled?
The Student Resource Area is split into a five sections. The following descriptions are taken directly;
Skills Online
Skills Online is a resource that will support you in developing the necessary skills you need to study and progress successfully at this level. It is designed to be used to complement your programme-based teaching and learning activities.
Employability Online
Employability Online is a resource which gives you the opportunity to develop key skills that employers are looking for. It will help you to reflect on your areas of relative strength and on development.
InfoSkills
The InfoSkills Online tutorial helps develop Information Literacy skills. Self-sufficiency and effectiveness in locating, evaluating and employing good quality research information is an important life and career skill. Information Literacy has been identified as a key Graduate Competency in MMU's "Employability Curriculum Framework".
Moodle Guides & Support
Guides include how to access and navigate Moodle, editing Profiles, submitting Assignments and using Discussion Forums.
Equal Opportunities & Diversity
This programme must be completed by all students as well as staff. The module does not carry credits for your University course but completion of the programme will contribute to your continuing personal development in this key transferable skill area.
So if your students are in need of a little further online self-directed support, you know where to send them....
