Moodle

Moodle is the name of Cambrian College’s Learning Management System (LMS). It is an online learning platform where faculty can create and deliver digital course content. Students use Moodle to view course materials, communicate with their instructors, participate in discussions, complete assessments, view feedback, and more.

Faculty at Cambrian use Moodle to post content for all course delivery types including face-to-face, virtual/online, and HyFlex. We are currently running Moodle version 4.5.

You can access Moodle by signing into myCambrian and clicking the Moodle link from your faculty or student dashboard. Or you can log into Moodle directly at: moodle.cambriancollege.ca
