Moodle Resources for Faculty

Overview

The My Courses page serves as a hub for users to access all of their courses.  It provides a convenient way to navigate between classes, helping users stay organized.   

Understanding Course Codes

Each Moodle course is assigned a three-digit code that helps identify the semester it belongs to. The first two digits represent the year, and the third digit represents the semester:

  • 1 = Spring
  • 2 = Summer
  • 3 = Fall

For example:

  • Courses starting with 251 are from Spring 2025
  • Courses starting with 252 are from Summer 2025
  • Courses starting with 253 are from Fall 2025

Following the same pattern, Spring 2026 courses will start with 261.

If you’re not seeing your current semester’s courses on the My Courses page, you may need to adjust your settings to show all available courses.

Customizing the My Courses Page

The My Courses page has filters that allows users to customize their course view.

The left drop down menu allows users to determine which course are visible on this page. If you are having trouble seeing your fall courses, try changing the view options. Options include:

  • All courses, In Progress, Future, Past, Starred, Removed from view.
Accessing Different Moodle Course Card Views
Use the settings to adjust your view of available courses

The search bar allows users to search for courses by name or course number.

Another option is to sort by course name or last accessed.

View courses by name of the last time accessed

Users can also select from three different display options:

Card - displays the courses in a grid showing the name and number of the course as well as the course image that has been selected.

List - displays the courses in a vertical list with smaller course images on the left side of the screen. 

Summary - similar to the List view and it also displays the course summary entered on the settings page. 

We recommend limiting the text in the Course Summary to a few sentences. The summary is only available to students enrolled in the course.
