Moodle at AMBS

A mostly-video guide to using Moodle at AMBS.

About this page

This page should help you get oriented to Moodle at AMBS. But if you are looking to actually sign in to Moodle, this is not the page for you.

This page contains demonstration videos for students new to Moodle. Susie Sow, the AMBS IT mascot, logs in to a course and completes several common activities. By watching these videos you will also be able to:

  1. log in to Moodle, learn what is available, add a photo to your profile
  2. post to a discussion forum, mark your progress in a course
  3. save a document as a PDF and upload a document to Moodle to complete an assignment
  4. check your grade in Moodle and view reports about your activity in a course

(You can click the links above to jump straight to that topic.)
