Moodle

Moodle is an e-service that allows AU faculty to create personalized learning environments for their courses each semester, where they can upload lecture materials, create various types of assignments and quizzes, and use other interactive features. The main features of this e-service which you will be using throughout the semester are available in the navigator on the left side of this webpage.

Furthermore, the upgraded Moodle 4.3 will include additional features, which are detailed in the user guide. To understand the differences between Moodle 3.5 and Moodle 4.3, please refer to the article List of Changes from Moodle 3.5 to 4.3.
