Using Moodle

What is Moodle?

Moodle is a program that hosts all online and hybrid courses that are offered by the Peralta Community College District. Each class will have its own shell for instructors to work on. Moodle’s Fall 2010 semester can be viewed at: http://eperalta.org/fall2010.

Fall 2010 Moodle will be available to instructors in August. Instructors must OPEN their class in order for it to be visible to students (See Make Your Course Available to Students).
