When you arrive at the Moodle login screen you will see the following menu along the left side of the screen:
- User name is the first part of your email address you wrote on the ACP Information Card (the part before the @)
- Password is “password”. You are encouraged to view your profile and change your password.
Once you have logged in your screen will look similar to this:
The center column, Available Courses, will list all online courses you are enrolled in. Each class is similar to a classroom. Work done and turned in within a class can only be viewed within that class. An example would be if you are posting comments for a forum in Class A, you cannot see responses in Class B. If you have an assignment that must be submitted for Class B, you cannot submit it in Class A and get credit. Remember each online class is treated as a separate classroom. If you have a question about an online class, please contact the instructor. To enter an online classroom, click on the class name under Available Courses.
