Usage guide

1. Usage qualifications

Chiba University Moodle is for students, faculty members, and researchers of Chiba University who have a user number, which is an ID for the information infrastructure system*1. Course administrators (those who have a teacher role for the course) are faculty members or researchers (regardless of full-time or part-time). 


*1 If you do not have a user number, please obtain one in advance. For information on obtaining a user number, please contact the Institute of Management and Information Technologies, Chiba University, which manages accounts. 

2. Opening a course

For courses registered in the student portal, please apply for course creation from the student portal. For other courses, please contact Moodle Support (moodle-support@chiba-u.jp). Each course has a "Registration key" used as the password required for students to log in to the course. Please inform students about any changes as appropriate. In addition, please make sure to carefully protect data when operating a course.

3. Role (Moodle authority) registration

The default role in a course is the student role. As the student role does not include editing authority, its use is mainly limited to pre-prepared content of the course. However, when a faculty member requests to open a course, he/she will be registered with a teacher role which includes editing authority for that course only. If a course such as an omnibus class or experimental course needs to be managed by multiple instructors, please contact Moodle Support and we will assign a teacher role to each instructor. 

4.  Administration and support

If the user registration method or course settings are found to be inappropriate, the administrator may take measures for improvement. In addition, access may be limited to within Chiba University or the server may be suspended when security needs to be ensured. 

5.  Surveys about Moodle

We may send out questionnaires about Moodle to users or use access logs to conduct surveys on its usage and enrollment of students. In addition, inquiry content may be anonymized and statistically processed to use for improving support operations, as well as for research and study purposes. If you do not consent to allow such use for research or study purposes, please let us know so we can exclude your information. Thank you for your cooperation.
