LSE Moodle Archiveis a read-only copy of LSE Moodle for each academic year. The purpose of the LSE Moodle Archive is to retain an accessible digital record of each course for students and staff. This is useful for students who have to resit or retake courses and for students and staff who want to review material from previous years. It also keeps the current year’s courses on Moodle clutter free. Each year, an archive copy will be created and it will be kept for three years. All records present on LSE Moodle will be included in the archive. This includes, course content (e.g. resources, web links), activities (e.g. forum posts, assignments, quizzes), stored records, grades and feedback. Lecture recordings are now available for all three years that a course remains in the archive. The level of access to the archives reflects the level of access on the day the archive copy was created. For example, if a student was enrolled on a suite of courses when the 20182021/19 22 archive was taken, they will have access to the same courses (read-only) in the 20182021/19 22 archive. |

No. Courses in the Moodle archive are hidden by default and departments are responsible to make courses visible throughout the whole year. If courses are not made visible to students, they will not be available to anyone, apart from the editors that were enrolled on them at the time the archive snapshot was taken. If you are an editor and you want to make a course visible, go into the course in the Moodle archive and then go into the Administration block, click Edit settings > change the Visibility option to Show. If you are a student and you cannot find the course, it is hidden, please contact your department. |
