Moodle learning and examination platform

Assessments, forums, homework, exams, glossaries, videos, Zoom meetings - the list of possibilities and requirements is long - our learning and examination platform Moodle can do it all.

Accessible worldwide: moodle.jku.at

Moodle around the world.

Moodle is an open source e-learning tool and is used all over the world. There is a large community behind this platform.

The official Moodle documentation is like a thick book with a lot of information about all Moodle versions: docs.moodle.org

You do not want to search?

Tip for employees: At the bottom of each settings page in Moodle, after clicking on the question mark, there is a "Help and documentation" link. This will take you directly to the correct page.

Moodle takes a break.

As with any other system, time does not stand still and improvements and new features are always being worked on. Therefore, Moodle takes a short break twice a year (February and August). After that, we are well prepared for the new semester.

Information about the maintenance can always be found on the Moodle homepage or under ekg.jku.at (only accessible on the campus network).

Because we attach great importance to security, there are also updates in between and without much fanfare. You should hardly or not at all notice our work.

Moodle in detail.

For the details, which are quite different, please unfold the right "I".

Are you still sending PowerPoint slides to all students or receiving homework assignments by e-mail or even printed out on paper? You still enter grades manually in KUSSS - switch to Moodle now and make your everyday work easier.
