I only want to offer classroom material to my students on-line what do I need to do?
Moodle
Course is created in Moodle, you are assigned as teacher and the course is given a key-code which the students use to auto enroll in the course. Students use their spps log in and password to log on to Moodle server and enroll in the course by entering the key-code

Urban Planet
You can use your building level Urban Planet website to deliver course material as well. However it does not have all the features such as chat and discussion boards.

Can you tell me again how Staff and students access Moodle?
http://Moodle.spps.org
Staff use their Campus user name and password. If you are unable to login then an account needs to be created for you. Please contact the Tech help desk

Students use their spps user name and password. Before a student can log on they need to be added to the Moodle server. Please let the Tech help desk know what students will need to access the Moodle server so they can be added before your course begins.

How does a student get added to my Moodle course?
Each course in Moodle is given a key-code. This code is used by the student to enroll in your course. A student logs into Moodle, they navigate the course catalog to find your specific course and use the key-code to enroll in your course.

What courses and content are available?
Moodle is a learning management system and as such does not have any pre-created courses. You are responsible for creating or purchasing course content. Please remember that any course content purchased will need to be compatible with Moodle LMS.
