Moodle is the name of Cambrian College’s Learning Management System (LMS).
It is an internal software application that helps our faculty to administer, document, track, report on and deliver courses or training programs. Students use Moodle to view the courses they are registered in, receive important information from their instructors, access and complete activities, participate in discussions, complete assessments, view their grades, and much more.
In addition to using Moodle for face-to-face courses, Cambrian also uses Moodle to deliver online courses as well as HyFlex courses. We are currently using Moodle 3.9 version.
You can access Moodle at moodle.cambriancollege.ca with your Cambrian credentials.
Moodle LMS Minimum Presence Requirements
In early 2019, the Cambrian College Learning Management System (LMS) Working Group and the Academic Advisory Council developed and approved minimum presence requirements for use of Moodle in all face-to-face courses.

Learning Moodle
Moodle, like other software, can take some time to learn in the beginning. To help in your learning, we’ve created a series of videos so you can become familiar with the course layouts and features of Moodle.
You are also welcome to reach out to the Hub team to get started. We can answer any questions you have and assist you in setting up your course and administering the features of Moodle.
There are also great resources to learn Moodle such as Learning Moodle 3.9 from LinkedIn Learning. All faculty and staff at Cambrian College can access LinkedIn Learning. Log in using your Cambrian credentials or contact IT Help Desk if you require assistance.

In this video you will learn how to add and edit a page of text within your Cambrian College Moodle course shell. Similar to a Word Document, a page of text allows you to add instructions, activities, notes or other types of text for your students to read. You can also add links and multimedia such as photos and videos to your text pages.
In this video you will learn how to send an announcement to your students in Moodle. Announcements are a one-way type of communication from you to your students. It is different from a discussion forum, where you can have two-way communication between you and your students.
When you create an announcement, it will be emailed to all students in your course who are subscribed to receive automatic email notifications. Your announcement will also be visible at the top of your course page when students click on the Announcements link, as well as in the Latest Announcements section on the right of your course page.
The Cambrian Moodle App is a mobile application that users can download to access Cambrian Moodle courses from a mobile device.
