Who can use it?

This service is available to all UCL staff and students. All users of Moodle must agree to the UCL Guidelines for e-learning communication tools before using Moodle for the first time. You will be prompted to do so, the first time you log in to Moodle.

Uptake at UCL

Academic Committee have set a target to have a Moodle component adhering to the UCL Moodle Baseline for every taught module from September 2011. If you are developing a new module please request a new Moodle course for it.
