Intoduction to Moodle

Moodle is City St George's online learning platform. To get to grips with how it works and make the most of it, it's a good idea to complete the Learning with Moodle module before your studies start.

Within the module, you will:

• Practice submitting an assignment
• Learn how you can get in touch with your lecturer and classmates
• Understand how to access assessments and feedback.

You will be able to access this module once you have set up your IT account. You will be auto-enrolled on the module, which will appear when you log into Moodle.

Access your Learning with Moodle module here using the enrolment key: PracticeModule26.

1. Make sure you attend all your scheduled teaching and learning sessions

Technology at City St George's

There are lots of programmes and software that you will use as a student at City St George's, which you'll be able to access once you have set up your IT account during registration.

Here's a quick look at the key ones you'll need:

Marking your attendance with the SEAtS app

To mark your attendance, you'll need to download the SEAts app.

SEAts is the app through which you'll mark your attendance for in-person teaching on campus.

You'll need to have completed enrolment before you can access the SEAts app.

Through the app, you’ll also be able to:

• View your personalised timetable, so you can see all your classes, anytime, from anywhere
• Track your attendance so you can make sure you are attending everything you need to
• Submit and track authorised absence requests using the ‘Requests’ section of the app

Download the app from the Apple App Store, or from the Google Playstore.

To log into the app, you will need to use your University email address (firstname.lastname@citystgeorges.ac.uk) and password.

When logging in for the first time, you will be prompted to verify your account using Multi-Factor Authentication. Please refer to the Multi-Factor Authentication set-up guide for further guidance.

Please note: All undergraduate students at Clerkenwell and Moorgate campuses will use the SEAtS app to mark attendance. If you are a postgraduate student, some courses will use a different method - your School will notify you before teaching starts. More information about marking in-person attendance will be shared closer to when teaching starts.
