Privacy Advisory

Blog is the third tab in your profile. Blog posts can be viewed by anyone with a Queen's NetID who logs into Moodle, not just your classmates.

Your Queen's Network Identifier is referred to as your NetID. If you have forgotten your password, please contact the IT Support Centre at 613 533 6666.

If you see the course but can't enter it, please call the IT Support Centre at 613-533-6666.

• Check that you are logged in to Moodle. (See above)
• Confirm your registration in that course through the Registrar's Office or QCard.
• Ensure your instructor is using Moodle. Not all instructors do.
• If you have recently enrolled in the course after the start of classes, please allow 24 hours for your enrollment to be processed by Moodle.

If you still can't see the course listed in My Moodle, please contact the IT Support Centre at 613-533-6666.

Make sure that when you go to Moodle, you are using the following address and not clicking on a link or by a bookmark. Type the following directly in your browser: moodle.queensu.ca

You could try using a different browser. For example, if you are currently using Internet Explorer, you could try using Firefox (download: www.mozilla.com). If a different browser works then you have narrowed the problem down to Internet Explorer.

If no Queen's pages, such as the Queen's main page work then there is likely a larger connection problem between your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and Queen's. Contact your ISP and/or the Queen's IT Support Centre at 613-533-6666.

Individual users can control the number of weeks or topics that are displayed on a course home page.

Click the blue 'tag' icons to toggle between the two options: Show all weeks/topics or Show one week/topic.

You need the correct software to read attachments.

Mac Users: Use the Software Update feature (on the Apple menu) to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java for your Mac.

PC Users: Make sure you have Java Runtime Environment installed on your computer. Some of the most common pieces of software (and the extensions that are added on the end of their filenames) are:

• .pdf Adobe Acrobat (available for PC through Ida)
• .doc Microsoft Word
• .xls Microsoft Excel
• .ppt Microsoft PowerPoint
• .wpd WordPerfect
• .txt PC-Notepad/Wordpad or Mac-Text Edit
• .html a web browser like Firefox or Explorer

Other file extensions like .gif, .jpg, and .bmp, indicate that these are image files and can be opened with your browser if your computer does not have the appropriate application. If you still cannot open the attachment contact your professor.

Make sure you are using a current browser. Javascript may be disabled or your browser settings may need to be updated.

Both Java and Javascript should be enabled (Javascript is called "Scripting" by Microsoft). You can download and install Java here: http://java.com/en/index.jsp, and click on the Download Now >> button and follow the on-screen instructions.

Go to the Activities block and select Forums. In the upper right corner, select the option to Unsubscribe from all forums.

You will need to contact the course instructor. Your instructor can remove you from the Moodle course.

When a student is removed from a course, all the student's grades and assignments are removed also, so an instructor may choose not to remove you from a course until final grades have been submitted to the Registrar.

If you have already received your course grades from the Registrar's Office, please contact the instructor for that course and ask him/her to remove your name from the Moodle class list.

To upload an assignment. Go to the Assignment by using the Assignment link in the Activities block (usually located on the top left of the course homepage) or go to the week in which the Assignment is listed and select the assignment.

You will see an Upload a file option. Select Browse to find your file on your computer. Once you have selected the file you want to upload, select the Upload this filebutton.

When you are ready to do so, press the Send for marking button.
