For Students

You can find all the important information and materials for your studies on the Moodle learning platform. Moodle enables the exchange of information and supports lecturers and students in their working and learning processes with discussion forums, current working materials, exercises, further links and working group rooms.

How do I log in to the central learning platform Moodle?

Please use the official user ID of the South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences. You will find it in the mail you received from the university at the beginning of your studies.

I have not yet received a user ID. Can I still log in to Moodle?

If you did not receive a user ID, please inform your lecturer. They can open Moodle courses for "guests". You can find these courses by clicking on "Login as guest" on the login page. However, you will then only have reading rights and will not be able to interact.

How do I find my Moodle courses?

Log in to Moodle.
Courses in which you are an active participant are displayed directly on your homepage (dashboard) and under "My courses".
You can find further courses via the navigation bar at the top under "Course areas". These are generally sorted by faculty, degree course and semester. Alternatively, you can also use the search function from the faculty level onwards, which, however, displays all applicable courses from all faculties globally.


Hint: Lecturers often provide the URL to the Moodle course of their module (including enrolment key, if applicable) at the beginning of the semester.

How do I enrol in Moodle courses?

Log in to Moodle.

You can find Moodle courses via the navigation bar at the top of the page under "Course areas". In general, these are categorised according to faculty, degree course and semester. Alternatively, you can also use the search function from the faculty level onwards, which, however, shows all applicable courses from all faculties globally.

Once you have selected the desired course, click on it. There you will find the button "Enrol". Click on it to enrol yourself in the Moodle course.

If necessary, you will also have to enter a password ("enrolment key"). You will get this from the person responsible for your course.

Where do I get the enrolment key for a Moodle course?

You can only enrol in some Moodle courses with an "enrolment key" (= password). You will receive this from the person responsible for the course. Lecturers often provide the enrolment key in the courses at the beginning of the semester.


Hint: Check the list of Moodle courses for your degree course to see if there is an information course (e.g. "Info- und Mitteilungen"). These are sometimes also used to publish enrolment keys.

Where can I find general information about Moodle or Zoom?

You can find information on Moodle and Zoom in the "Instructions for students" section of the Moodle course Blended Learning @ FH SWF (only provided in German language).

I need support with Moodle - who should I contact?

Content-related questions about Moodle courses or the enrolment key should be sent to the person responsible for the course. In case of technical issues, e.g. loss of university access data and thus also to Moodle, please contact the IT-ServiceDesk.

For Lecturers

You are welcome to use our central learning platform Moodle. It has many benefits to facilitate the exchange between you and your students to optimise teaching. You can offer (interactive, multi-media) materials, exchange information in discussion forums, coordinate appointments, carry out knowledge level assessments, and much more.

How do I get a Moodle course?

Please log in to Moodle.

Select "Request new course" (Neuen Kurs beantragen) in the footer and then your campus. Enter the requested data and send the email. Your request will be processed by the Moodle campus administrators, who will notify you about the course creation.

Where can I find my courses?

Please log in to Moodle.

Courses for which you already have the status "Trainer" are displayed directly on your homepage (dashboard), as well as under "My courses".

You can find other courses via the navigation bar above under "Course areas". There you can navigate to the desired area. Basically, these are sorted by faculty, degree course and semester. Alternatively, you can also use the search function from the faculty level onwards, which, however, displays all applicable courses from all faculties globally.

How can students access my Moodle course?

Students must enrol in Moodle courses by themselves. Using the "course areas" in Moodle (navigation above), students can search for your course. You can also communicate the URL to your course as well as the corresponding enrolment key (=course password) if you have assigned one. You can get help with this from the Moodle campus administrators.

Where can I find materials (instructions, videos, ...) about Moodle and online teaching?

Information has been compiled for you by the Moodle campus administrators and the blended learning contact persons in the Moodle course " Blended Learning @ FH SWF" Here you will find tips and tricks on working with Moodle, but also on video conferencing with Zoom or on other useful tools.
