What is Moodle?

Moodle portal.lwcuk.com is LWC’s online education platform. Within Moodle are spaces corresponding to your modules, and within each space you will find a range of possible information, materials and activities.

Almost all taught modules have a Moodle space.

Logging into Moodle

Go to www.portal.lwcuk.com in your browser and log in using your LWC username and password. This is the same username and password you use to access other LWC services e.g. the E- Library or LWC email.

Finding your modules

Once you are logged in you’ll arrive at the My home page. Click the name of the course you want to enter. If the course has an enrolment key(password), ask your tutor or course administrator what it is.  You can see any modules you have been pre-enrolled on by selecting the Course tab in the Course Overview section.

Navigating Moodle

On your My Home page, once you click the name of course which will display a list of your modules, select one of your module and Enter it.

When you click a link to one of your modules, its Moodle page displays. There you’ll find resources and activities (assignment task) relating to that module. 

-Click on Upload, and select the file you would like to submit. -If you uploaded the wrong file, you can always remove the current file and repeat the previous step to upload the correct file.

To view other modules, use the Navigation Bar which displays horizontally close to the left of the page. It both shows where you are in Moodle and allows you to move around Moodle. It is a good way to move between the module spaces.

Reasons to update your profile

Your Moodle profile can help your fellow students and your tutors put your name to your face. We think this will be immensely helpful, especially in your first few weeks here when everything and everyone is new. So unless you have strong objections, please do add a picture of your face and also check your timezone.

To edit your profile:

  1. Hover over your name (top right of page) to activate a menu.
  2. Click Edit Profile.

    User picture: do include a distinctive User picture. A picture of your face will help staff and students get to know your name. Your image will be cropped & resized automatically to 100 by 100 pixels.Name: if your name is incorrect, please contact the Service Desk to change it for you. Timezone: check this is set to correct timezone (eg: UK time) since this may affect when you can access scheduled events such as assignments or tests.
  3. Edit the fields.
  4. To save, scroll down and click Update profile.
