At Furman, we upgrade Moodle 2 years in May which keeps our LMS current with recent updates and improvements. A Moodle course is automatically created for every class and populated with participants 5 days before the start of class each term. Instructional Technologist for Humanities and Social Sciences, Andrew Markovic or Jean Childress, Moodle Administrator, offer training sessions and also work with faculty on advanced topics. For routine questions or to schedule a meeting with Andrew or Jean, telephone the Service Center at x3277 or email service.center@furman.edu .
