How can I change my forum subscription?

If you would like to unsubscribe from a forum, simply enter the forum, hit "manage forum subscriptions" and click the blue button that says "Yes". It will change to a "No". You cannot unsubscribe from the Announcements Lounge on the Moodle Helps and Resources page.

At any time if you would like to resubscribe, repeat the process so that the button says yes.

If you would like to unsubscribe from all forums in a unit at once:

1. Click on "Course Dashboard"
2. Scroll down to the Activities section
3. Click on "Advanced Forums"
4. At the top of the page Click "unsubscribe from all forums"


To change the types of notifications you get, check out our "How do I change my notification settings?" FAQ!

 

How do I change my notification settings?

Click on the notification symbol, top right. 



This will show you a list of all of your notifications. Click on the cog symbol here in the top right.


This will redirect you to a page of notification preferences. Web notifications will affect those notifications you receive under the bell, and email via email.


You will notice that some of the preferences will be locked, but you can adjust any of the other preferences.

 

Some of these settings are fairly self-explanatory, but we will explain those that are a little vague.

  • Assignment notifications include receiving a ticket when you submit your assignment.
  • Feedback notifications include receiving a grade and or a feedback file from your marker.
  • The difference between forum "posts" and forum "digests", is based on your forum subscription settings. These can be set to receive a notification for individual posts or for a digest of posts at the end of each day.

If you need any assistance with this please contact us at moodle@acom.edu.au.


If you would like to know how to unsubscribe from a forum please see our FAQ, "How can I change my forum subscription?"

How do I paste from the marking grid into an assignment?

Done with your marking and ready to insert?

Your grid should look something like this in your excel file, with all the relevant fields filled out:



Click this yellow cell underneath the grid:



Then, go to the file you wish to insert the grid into, click where you want to insert it and then right click. You should see something like this:


Select "paste special" and you will see something like this:


You can select either "picture" or "PDF", but I find that "PDF" gives a cleaner image. Then, hit "ok" and your grid will be inserted!


How do I replace an assignment file?

If you have accidentally uploaded the wrong file to your assignment, navigate to the Assignment in Moodle and hit Edit Submission:


Then hit the file icon:


and then hit delete:



You will now be able to upload a new file. Please note that if you update your file past the due date your submission will be considered late.
