ITS automatically imports all your courses using information from the Registrar's Office.  When you log into Moodle you will see all the courses available to you.  

Table of Contents

Course Overview

The course overview section contains a listing of all the courses available to you.  The default settings are to display each course in a box, sorted alphabetically, which is not always optimal.  There are several ways to organize the listings.

Filtering Course Listings

It is possible to show only courses happening this semester or courses from the past or in the next semester (future).  There are other options viewing "starred" (favorite) courses or courses you have hidden from the listing.  The Moodle course listing uses the start and end dates of the course to determine which tab to put the course in (In Progress, Future, or Past).

The default view is "card", which shows a course with its thumbnail image (which can be customized by the professor).   To condense the view, it is possible to switch to a "List" or "Summary" view.

Starring and Hiding

It is possible to "star" your commonly used courses and hide courses that you are not interested in seeing.  Click on the settings for a course (three dots) and select "Star this Course" or "Hide from View".  

You can view your starred courses using the course filter option described above.  If you need to un-hide a course, use the filter option to display hidden courses and unhide them.

If your course does not show up in the Moodle home page, check if you have filtered out or hidden the course.  See "Filtering Course Listings" and "Starring and Hiding" above.  

If the course doesn't appear anywhere in Moodle, you may not be enrolled in the course.  Check in Faculty Services (for faculty) or MySwarthmore (for students) to make sure you are enrolled in the course.
