Project tasks are following a logical progression from the set-up of the host environment, the installation of Moodle and choice of a theme for the University, the development of default classrooms and common tools, levels of access and permissions, and perhaps most importantly, the interface between TLZ Moodle and our DUT ITS student registration system.

Once this has been set up, an automatic classroom creation can be run and classrooms can begin to be developed. Staff members will be kept posted as to when they will gain access to their 2020 classrooms. In the interim staff members can get a sense of Moodle from: https://moodle.org/demo/.

DUT looks forward to the increased opportunity to share best practice and innovation in teaching and learning as we join the larger Moodle community in South African higher education, which includes Stellenbosch, Rhodes, University of Zululand, NMMU and UKZN.

Pictured: DUT students will soon have access to a new online Learning Management System (LMS).
