Collaborative learning with Microsoft Teams and Moodle

TLDRoffon

Teams will soon be fully integrated with Moodle, making it easier to for you access content in both Moodle and Teams. Here we share how it will work, and how to connect.

From Tuesday 28 September the Moodle Teams app will display each Moodle Course within its own Team, so you can easily switch between Moodle and Teams. Course Teams will be created for each of your Moodle courses, using the shortname as it appears in Moodle (e.g. FINA-1055-M01-2021-22-130).

Simple login

In the Moodle Tab in Teams you can access your course pages using Microsoft 365 Single Sign-On, without having to type in your Moodle username and password.

Note: You will need to sign in to Moodle via the portal at least once before you can access Moodle via Teams.

You will be added automatically to the appropriate Teams and Moodle Courses when your student record is updated, so if you are late to enrol, or change courses part way through the term, you will be able to access these courses within 24 hours of your student record being updated. If you do not have access to all the Course Teams you are expecting, please contact the IT Service Desk for assistance.

Teams is not replacing Moodle

While Teams does include overlap features with our existing systems, teaching will continue to be delivered via our virtual learning environment, Moodle.

Moodle is our environment for supporting and managing learning activity including storing course materials, submitting assignments and sharing feedback. Teams is our collaboration and communication tool. Our Academic Skills support includes sessions on making the most of both Teams and Moodle for your studies.
