Enrolling Students into their Moodle Classes

Students need to self enroll for each class/teacher. The process works the same each time so after completing the process once or twice, it will become very quick and easy. It should take approximately 5 minutes once logged into a computer. It can be done at school or at home.

Google Accounts & Username/Password

Student user/password credentials are pulled from their Google Accounts. There is no additional username/password to keep track of. Students must use their new isd186.org accounts in order for Moodle to work, though.

Moodle: Logging-in & Self-Enrolling

Getting into Moodle

1. Open Google Chrome and log-in to Google Apps. You should see your name in the upper right if you're logged in. (If the log-in screen doesn't come up, go to: accounts.google.com)

2. Navigate to Moodle by going to the district website (www.isd186.org) or your school's website and clicking students on the right.

3. On the Moodle homepage, click "Student & Staff login" on the bottom left.

**You should wait for the slideshow to start moving before logging in as important information will be displayed here. 

If a Google Box pops up asking if it's ok, click "Accept" and the Moodle homepage will load.

Enrolling in a class

Students need to enroll in their teacher's class before they will be able to see their teacher's Moodle page, resources and assignments. To do this:

1. Go to the list of classes by clicking here.  or type in http://goo.gl/lb4YtR (capitalization matters)

2. Navigate through the folders to get to the department or grade you want.

Example: High School > Math >

3. When you've arrived at the right grade or department, you will see a list of classes. Towards the right of each class, there are two icons:

Clicking the "i" will expand the block so you can see the teacher, syllabus, etc. Clicking the key will enroll you in the class.

4. When you enroll, it will ask for a "enrollment key." Ask your teacher for this 6 digit code.

You will automatically be taken into the class and it will appear in "My Classes." Repeat this step for each class.

Don't Forget to Check the Tech Page

Welcome to a new school year with its initial wave of tech issues. I want to make you aware of two features on the tech intranet page that will be of help. So before sending out that support ticket, check:

Known Issues - These are large scale issues that we're already working on or others have already sent in tickets for. If the item is in Known Issues, that means:

1. We're already working on it, it doesn't require a ticket, and the solution will be posted when found. 

2. We've got a call into the vendor and are waiting on them to fix it or respond. 

3. We've fixed it and you can find the solution without having to send in a ticket. 

Knowledge Base - When we have something that people ask about frequently, we post a solution or training in our Knowledge Base. I just posted an article Josh wrote about printing issues in there this morning. This would be a good place to start before sending in the ticket. We add more articles or videos in as time goes on (this is all new with the new intranet), so check back occasionally. 

Both can be found by clicking the link below:
