Welcome to Moodle!
Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, Open Source software package designed to help educators create effective online learning communities.
Moodle is being used by other colleges nationally (such as Macalester, Colorado College, St. Olaf, Luther and the University of Minnesota) and internationally (e.g. UK's Open University or Universidade de Brasília). If you need Moodle Training or if you are curious about Moodle and all it has to offer, go to Moodle.org or contact the Academic Technology Studio by phone (x4125) or by email (imason@cornellcollege.edu). We will be happy to sit down with you and help you use Moodle for first— or the twenty-first—time.
Moodle and PDFs
This issue is probably resolved for most computer users; and Firefox is a good browser to use with Moodle now. If a student has trouble opening a pdf, try having them download the pdf to their desktop and then opening it in "Acrobat" (instead of opening it from within their browser). Please feel free to send them to the AMS (127 Cole Library) for help.
There currently is an issue with Adobe Acrobat Reader opening some pdfs in Firefox 3 (and possibly any version of Firefox). The issue appears when pairing Firefox 3 and Adobe Acrobat 8.Some pdfs will freeze firefox and may cause the program to crash.
Currently all labs have Acrobat Reader 8 and Firefox 3. Students and faculty are encouraged to use Internet Explorer when working with Moodle in labs and technology classrooms. If you are experiencing issues on your own machine installing Acrobat Reader 9 should fix the issue.
As there is currently a simple work around we will not close any labs to install a new version of Adobe. |
