Brief user guide

The announcement forum is always automatically subscribed to. Only lecturers and tutors are permitted to post messages in this forum.

To subscribe to another forum, click on Subscribe to forum or Unsubscribe from forum in the top right-hand corner. If you are only interested in the message history for a post, you can also subscribe to this using the toggle switch to the right of the post.

You will receive a notification every time a new post is created:

If you are currently on the learning platform, you will receive the notification directly in Moodle.
If you are offline, the notification will be sent to your u:account e-mail address.
Tip: You can access your e-mails via Webmail. You can also set up forwarding to a private e-mail address.
