LM | A Guide to Moodle
If you are new to online learning or you have never used
Moodle before, this resource (book) will provide guidance to help you
navigate the online platform and utilize its learning activities and resources. It is intended for those using Moodle on a computer and will be less
relevant to individuals using the Moodle app. The
more comfortable you are using Moodle the better your overall learning
experience will be.
To navigate through the book, click the forward or back arrows on each page. You can also navigate through the book using the table of contents.
Should you have questions about Moodle, how to access a particular
activity or resource, or getting started with the Moodle app, email Rachel McCarthy.

3.2. Messages
Messages are a way to communicate with a classmate, instructor, or small group directly within Moodle. To access Messages, open your User Menu and click Messages. This brings you to the main messaging page. Next to your name, you will see a small chat bubble (shown below). Click this bubble to open the Messaging drawer. The Messaging drawer opens up Messaging in a sidebar so you can stay on your current page. You can access the Messaging drawer from any page within Moodle.
