Integration of Course Units with Moodle and Microsoft Teams

Content for students

The integration of course units with Moodle and Microsoft® Teams provides access to course unit content in Moodle and/or Microsoft® Teams by lecturers, lecturers in charge of the course unit, registered students and content managers in an automatic way.

The following course unit information is sent to the platforms:

• Name;
• Code;
• Semester;
• Academic year;
• Registered students;
• Classes;
• Lecturers;
• Lecturer in charge of the course unit;
• Content managers.

In Moodle, students are associated to groups that correspond to the classes in which they are registered in the Information System. By default, only lecturers and those in charge of the course unit have access to this. However, Organisational Units (OU) can include who they want, by adding validation groups or individuals to the validation group UCURR_ELEARNING_ADM.

If you are a lecturer or the person in charge of the course unit, please follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Information System of the administrative Organisational Unit of the course units you lecture/administer;
2. Click on your name to access your personal page;
3. Choose the option on the sidebar "Service Distribution" in the "Options" menu;
4. Click on the course unit you would like to configure and integrate with Moodle and/or Microsoft® Teams;
5. On the page of the course unit fact sheet, you will find a menu on the sidebar named "E-learning" with the options "Integration with Platforms" and "Content Manager".

Options "Integration with Platforms" e "Content Manager"
