Tutorial: Introduction to Moodle for students

4. The Dashboard - a list of all Moodle courses you are enrolled in

The Dashboard provides you - among other useful functions - with an overview of the virtual course rooms in which you are currently enrolled in at the HAW Moodle.

Enrolment in a Moodle course is an active process, initiated either by you or your lecturer. So don't be alarmed if your Course overview is still empty when you first visit your dashboard!

The Course overview provides a filterable and sortable overview of all course rooms in which you are enrolled.

Set the option "Sort by..." to "...last accessed." The courses you currently visit will thus always appear at the top of the list.

How do I enrole in my course rooms?

Enrolment in your course rooms is done in one of two ways:

you receive a password and a URL from your lecturer to self-enroll; or
the lecturer adds you to their respective course room using a list.

Please be aware that not every in-person/face-to-face course you are enrolled in at the HAW has an equivalent Moodle course room. When in doubt, ask your lecturer whether he/she provides a Moodle course room in addition to the in-person/face-to-face course; and if so, how you can access the course room.

You'll find more information on enrolement in this chapter.
