Knowing the value of building community among members of a course, ITS recently completed a successful integration that provides all courses with an accompanying Google Group. Enrollments for these Google Groups are based on enrollments found in Moodle. This means any member manually added to a Moodle course (e.g., Writing Associate, auditing student) will be enrolled in the accompanying Google Group. These Google Groups will allow students and instructors alike to quickly:

  • Email all members of a course from Gmail
  • Invite all members of a course to a Google Calendar event
  • Share folders or Shared drives in Google Drive with all members of a course
