Q1: What is Moodle?
Moodle is the online learning platform used at LSE. The majority of taught courses have a Moodle course which either students are automatically enrolled onto or they can self enrol onto. Moodle courses contain activities such as quizzes, communication tools, resources such as audio and video files, lecture slides, links to recordings of lectures and reading lists. You may be asked to submit your work electronically to Moodle and your teachers may provide feedback and provisional marks to you via Moodle.

Q15. For how long after I leave LSE can I continue to access my Moodle courses?
Most Moodle courses are automatically reset at the end of each academic year – in early September (details on the Moodle End of Year arrangements page). This means that your Moodle course enrolments and any course contributions including discussion postings, quiz and assignment submissions are automatically removed. If you are retaking a course you should simply re-enrol for the new version of the relevant Moodle course.
Some course proprietors may choose to make courses unavailable before this time so that they can prepare them for the following academic yearStudents can access Moodle until the December after graduation. Access to individual courses depends on the visibility of archived versions of courses on which students were enrolled.
All courses are kept in Moodle for three years after the academic year in which they first ran. Unless your teacher or department chooses to hide a course, you will continue to be able to access it in the ‘Past’ section of My Courses for as long as you have a working LSE log-in for Moodle.
Archived courses have certain restrictions to prevent staff or students from changing any material in the course. You will still be able to read all your old material, but you will not be able to make any new submissions or contributions to an old course once it is archived.
Some course owners may choose to make courses unavailable. This would not normally happen until after the exam period has finished, or in the case of taught postgraduate courses until dissertations have been submitted. However, this is entirely at the discretion of the academic department and course proprietors.Each June we make a copy of all Moodle courses and make an LSE Moodle Archive for each academic year. You can ask the relevant department for access to archived courses. You should contact your department or convenor to ask permission to access an old course. You will only be able to access iterations of courses for which you were originally enrolled. If granted access, this will then be available to you until the December after you graduate.
Courses from the 2023/24 academic year and later are held in the main Moodle site. Currently, courses from 2022/23 and 2021/22 are held on separate archive sites. You can always find the most up-to-date archive information on the Moodle archive information page: LSE Moodle Archive.
Q16. How do I view recorded LSE lectures?
