 Welcome to the Lynn Benton Community College Moodle Student Orientation video. My name is Paul Tannehill and I'm one of the eLearning Systems Administrators here. Now you might hear the term eLearning or LMS or Moodle used interchangeably around here. Basically Moodle is simply our open source learning management system or LMS. You can use Moodle in any modern desktop browser. Just make sure you keep that browser updated and you'll be fine. I'm going to be covering in this screencast how to locate our Moodle system, how to get logged in, what's your username and password, how to find your courses, basics like that, and how to find and get support in case you can't get logged in successfully or you can't find your courses. Let's go ahead and get started. Here we are at the Lynn Benton Community College home page, LynnBenton.edu. If you look in the upper right you'll see the orange Moodle logo. When you click that and you land on the Moodle login page. And down here you're going to see information on what your username is and what your starter or temporary password is. So I've input those into the username and password fields. I just click login. In this current password field put your temporary password and this new password field is a password of your own choosing. It's got to be at least six characters. Do it once and then twice and then click save changes and you'll be logged in. Click continue. This will take you to your Moodle dashboard where you'll see all your current courses. I'm in the courses tab in progress and here's the courses I'm taking. I can just click into one and there I am. Let's go back to the dashboard. Now if you're not seeing a course that you think you should hear in your dashboard, it might be one of a few different things. Let's cover those. First of all it might be that your course doesn't use Moodle. It might be that your instructor hasn't made your course available to students yet. Or your instructor hasn't set up auto one role for students. In that case the solution is to ask your instructor. It might be that you are on the wait list for that course though. Or you may have opted out or have been opted out of student email. In that case we recommend going over to the admissions and registration department where they can fix the issue and then you'll see your course pop up here in your Moodle dashboard. We're just about finished here but first let me show you how to log out. In the upper right where you see your name, the drop down, you can click log out. And then one last thing. Let's say you can't get logged in. Remember earlier I mentioned how on the Lynn Benton homepage when you click on the orange Moodle logo that will take you to the Moodle login page. Now let's say you don't remember your Moodle username and or your password. Remember your Moodle username is always your LBID number. If you don't know your LBID number, you can always get that on WebRunner which again is over on the college homepage. Look at that logo below the Moodle logo. Once you have your LBID you're going to want to jot that down. Commit it to memory because you'll need that for more than one system around here. Once you have that LBID number, go ahead and click that link that says trouble logging in. Click here. That's a simple process where you'll just input your LBID number and it's going to generate an email message to your LBCC student email. Now if you don't receive that email or you don't see that email in your inbox that might mean there's an issue with your registration status. So we're recommending going to Tequina Hall on Albany campus to the admissions and registration department to double check your status because it's your registration status that creates a Moodle account for you and plays a part also in automated enrollments into your Moodle courses. So with that I'll reiterate that if you have a problem with Moodle getting into it basically try hitting your instructor with a question first and then the student help desk second. You can reach the student help desk at student.helpdesk at linbenton.edu. The phone number is 541-917-4630 and also it's located in the library on the Albany campus. We're here to support your education. We hope you've enjoyed this screencast and give you some good information on how to get access and get started using Moodle. Have a great term.
