LMS Transition to Moodle

After two years of pivot, campus-based undergraduate coursework has transitioned back to Simmons Moodle.  Faculty and Students login with their Simmons credentials and no longer use a separate password to access their coursework.  Simmons Moodle is very similar to the Learning Management System of previous years and the transition from one to the other should be smooth.  

If you need technical support, please reach out to [email protected].  All support is now provided by Simmons Staff.  The Center for Faculty Excellence (CFE) provides instructional design assistance for faculty and can be reached at [email protected].

We’re also excited to introduce Gradescope, a cloud-based grading tool.  Gradescope allows faculty to save time grading and provides analytics on how students are doing in class.  Gradescope can be used to grade a variety of assignments: quizzes, bubble sheets, exams, worksheets, projects, problem sets, projects, and programs.  Integrated with Moodle, Gradescope works with Gradebook to manage students’ grades.
