How do I open my online Moodle course?

Go to Gestione Corsi (GeCo) (Courses Management, in Italian only) from the link https://webapps.unitn.it/gestionecorsi/ or through the ‘Gestione Corsi online’ (Online Courses Management) widget you will find in MyUnitn.

Log in with your University credentials and follow the guided procedure that will allow you to activate your course in a few simple steps. Then choose which categories of users you want to grant access to.

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?

Go to your online course, click on the slider in the top right, then click on Edit Mode. Click on Add an activity or resource, select the file or folder (according to how you want to organize the contents) and follow the instructions provided. 

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 lecturers to post messages and 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 send a personalized message to one of my students?

Go to the Partecipanti (Participants list) of your online course; look for and select the name of the student you want to send a message to; at the bottom of the page you'll find “Con gli utenti selezionati” (With selected students), and in the drop down menu select “Invia un messaggio” (Send a message).

How can I add a student to the course?

Please refer to the Guidelines that explain how to add users manually in Moodle.

How long will my course be available on Moodle?

a) Courses of the previous academic year are available and active (with possibility of interaction) to students who have accessed them at least once.

Why can’t I access the course I interested in?

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 the payment for university tuition or fees. We recommend writing to Didattica Online (uff.didatticaonline@unitn.it) to check your situation.

Courses from previous academic years are stored according to the following criteria:

a) Courses from the previous academic year remain active and accessible (with possibility of interaction) to the students who have already accessed them. Those who have never accessed them must send an e-mail to the lecturer, who can include them among the participants (also Didattica Online can do it, after forwarding the e-mail with the agreed permission). 

b) Courses of two previous academic year are stored and available in read-only mode (without possibility of interaction) to lecturers and students who have accessed them before.
