The Monterey Institute has joined the CSU Moodle Consortium, a multi-campus consortium offering site hosting, training, conferences, support and maintenance on the Moodle platform. The consortium includes CSU Monterey Bay, San Francisco State University, and Humboldt State University. Other local partners include Monterey Peninsula, Gavilan, and Hartnell Community Colleges. more…

CSUMB calls these Moodle installations iLearn. Ours is live and we have begun re-branding and organizing it.  It will have a familiar look and offer faster, more reliable access.

Please follow directions below to get started using the MIIS iLearn for the Spring 2011 term.

Logging In
The iLearn Moodle is available at: http://ilearn.miis.edu.  iLearn user accounts are activated by logging in. Use your current Middlebury email account username (everything before @miis.edu) and password to log in.

Update Your Account
To complete your user profile:
1) Login to iLearn.
2) Click on your name in the upper-right corner of iLearn homepage.
3) Click on the Edit Profile tab to review required fields. You can also add a mini-bio statement in the Description field and upload a photo. Click the Update Profile button at the bottom of the page to save your changes.

Course Archives
The eLearning.miis.edu (former Moodle) site will be available throughout 2011 as an archive of courses past.

Editing Your Spring 2011 Courses
We will not be implementing a course request feature at this time. All courses listed in the Spring ’11 schedule have a Moodle shell set up. To gain editing privileges for your Spring 2011 courses:
1) Login to iLearn and update your profile before requesting editing privileges for your course.
2) Email the Help Desk with the course name and names of any other people who need access. They also must log into iLearn before we can assign them privileges.

Spring 2011 Course Roll-over
If you have a course that you want imported from a previous semester, request a course back-up and roll-over:
1) Login to iLearn
2) Complete the rollover request form by clicking on the dog image on the right-hand side of the home page. Your request will be automatically sent to ITS Help Desk for processing.  Allow 3-5 working days for your request to be completed.

We are excited by the opportunity to join this partnership of local schools using Moodle. We will continue to announce updates as they develop.

Please feel free to contact the Help Desk with any questions.

Regards,
Information Technology Services
