Navigating Your Moodle Unit Site

All unit sites in Tabor Online follow a standard structure to make it easier to find key information. While some variations may exist, you will usually see the following four main tiles:

1. Start Here

This tile provides an introduction to the unit from your lecturer. It may include a welcome video, an overview of the unit, and guidance on how to engage with the site.

2. Communication

All essential communication tools are housed here, including:

  • Forums for discussions and announcements.
  • Zoom links for online classes.
  • Class times and locations for on-campus sessions.

3. Unit Information

This tile contains important documents such as:

  • The Unit Description, outlining learning outcomes, required texts, and assignment details.
  • Other key information relevant to the unit.

4. Assessments

All assessment-related content is found here, including:

  • Submission portals for assignments.
  • Assessment instructions, rubrics, and due dates.
  • Links to quizzes and other graded activities.



Additional Features

  • Support – Links to student support resources.
  • Activities – Shortcuts to assignments, quizzes, forums, and resources.

Weekly Content and Learning Materials

In addition to the standardised tiles, most unit sites also include topic or weekly content tiles. These contain:

  • Additional activities such as forum discussions and quizzes.

Lecturers may release content progressively or make all weeks available from the start of the semester. Always check your unit site regularly to stay up to date.
