This page was created in response to changes in teaching and assessment LSE introduced in response to the pandemic since March 2020 and provides guidance to help support your learning (and security) online. Some of this information remains useful even though LSE teaching and assessment have largely returned to a pre-March 2020 state (as of September 2022).

Information about Coursework and Assessment 

In the first instance, check with your department regarding their plans for setting and accepting coursework and assessment online. Moodle will be the core platform, though teachers and departmental support staff may use various platforms to maintain communication and continuation of teaching and assessment. Many are using Zoom for office hours and/or seminars.

Technical Support 

For any technical problems during with online assessment submission, contact DTS Tech Support on Tech.Support@lse.ac.uk or phone: (+44) 020 7107 5000

Unable to submit on Moodle

If you experience any problems during submission, please follow your department’s advice to email your file(s) as soon as possible to the relevant departmental staff. Please note that you will incur late penalties if you submit your assessment late.
