Putting Your Course Online

 First, let me begin by stating that we have two Learning Management Systems (LMS).  The one that is incorporated with the myTC or portal page and is often referred to as the Jenzabar LMS, but is actually named eLearning and the other is TCOnline or Moodle LMS.

At present, every course gets a eLearning classroom, whether you use it or not to deliver course content, you should at least post your syllabus and a welcome message for your students, otherwise, it will be used primarily to keep attendance and grades in the gradebook.  *

If you are using the TCOnline LMS to deliver course content, the grades from the assignments will need to be copied from the Moodle gradebook to the eLearning gradebook.  The reason behind this is that when the Mid-term grades or the end-of -course grades are to be submitted to the registrar, they can be done via a link on the gradebook page (when the submission window is open).  There is also another option for submitting grades and that is via the Grade Entry window or portlet on the faculty tab page of myTC.

To place grades in the Jenzabar gradebook when using a TCOnline classroom, you will need to create assignments that will act as placeholders in the gradebook whereby you can manually enter the grades.  (IT is currently working on a solution to import your Moodle gradebook into the Jenzabar gradebook.)  Also, the course total from the Jenzabar gradebook is displayed to the student in a grade column on the All My Courses portlet, corresponding to their  courses on the student tab of myTC.

This page of help will be divided into two sections dealing with topics related to both Learning Management Systems.

Further down the page are elements related to the Moodle LMS.  Even though they are not visualized using the latest version, their function is still the same but the menus may be a bit different.
