How to Log In to Moodle
Moodle is the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) used at the University of the Commonwealth Caribbean. It can be considered as the ‘Aeorion’ for online students because this is the platform where students: 1. receive and submit assignments 2. do mid-module exams and 3. view coursework grades.
The final grade (both coursework and end-of-module exam grade) is posted to Aeorion.
