How do I open my online Moodle course?

Go to Gestione Corsi (GeCo) (Manage Courses, in Italian only) from the link https://webapps.unitn.it/gestionecorsi/ or with the ‘Gestione Corsi online’ (Online Courses Management) widget, which you will find in MyUnitn.
Login with your university account and follow the guided procedure which will allow you to activate your course in a few simple steps and choose the category of user you want to be able to gain access.

Can I copy material published in a previous academic year's online course?

If you want to copy material from one academic year to another, or if you want a specific course configuration, write to uff.didatticaonline@unitn.it. Staff at Didattica OnLine will duplicate your material.

Who is allowed to access my Moodle course?

When you activate your course on Moodle you may decide to maintain or modify the access filters. By default, all students who have the course in their study plan, and/or belong to the Department for which the course is delivered, can access the course of the current academic year.
In case you want to modify this setting, please follow the guided procedure while creating the course, selecting the filter you prefer. A request will be automatically sent to the Didattica OnLine, which will set the new access mode.
If you have already created the course and want to modify the access filters later, please send a request to uff.didatticaonline@unitn.it

How do I upload material for my students?

In case of difficulties, please refer to the Guidelines or contact Didattica OnLine.

How can I send information to all the students on the course?

If you are using Moodle, you can use the Forum Annunci (Announcements Forum), which is created by default in all online courses and allows the teacher to post messages to inform students. Notification that a message has been posted is emailed automatically from Moodle to the students who have entered at least once in the online course.

How can I access online courses?

  2. Select the option "Sei uno studente?" ("Are you a student?)" and enter with your UniTrento credentials
  3. Click on "Corsi online ai quali sei iscritto" ("Your online courses") and search for the course you want to join. If you don’t see it, click on "Corsi online ai quali potresti iscriverti" ("Online courses which you may enrol on") and search for the course
  4. Once you have found the course, clicking on the course title. 
Why can’t I access the course which interests me?

If you can’t access an online course, it may be because you are in a degree program which is not authorized to access that course or because you haven’t completed payment for university tuition or fees. We recommend writing to the Didattica Online office (uff.didatticaonline@unitn.it) to check on your situation. 

Why can’t I access an online course from a past academic year?

The courses from previous academic years are archived. Access is only granted to archived courses to those who accessed the online course at least once during the academic year it was held in. All others cannot automatically access the course and must be manually added by the Didattica Online office. Write to: uff.didatticaonline@unitn.it 

I’m a tutor and I can’t access the online courses.

You can’t access the online courses (https://webapps.unitn.it/gestionecorsi/) because your role as a tutor conflicts with your student role.
