New to Moodle?

Here are some resources to get you started:

Look for a Moodle session as part of faculty orientation or early in the semester. I do at least one hands-on workshop each semester to help faculty with Moodle.

Note: If you are moving content from our old server (courses prior to Fall 2024) onto the new server, follow the instructions below. If the old Moodle site is not available, please email Sara Sprague at spraguesa@hollins.edu.
