It is an online environment where students and staff interact with each other, and with learning resources for programmes and modules delivered at Maynooth. Moodle is made up of individual spaces that represent the modules being taught. There are also additional Moodle spaces for learning support and other projects and activities of the university.
For Students: Once a student is registered on a course with the university they will receive their Maynooth University (MU) login details as part of their set up and registration process. Once they have been set up with a MU username and password they will find the link for Moodle under Current Students on the main University website menu.
For Staff: To access Moodle, staff require a Maynooth University username and password which is provided by IT Services. Once they have a username and password, they will find the link for Moodle under For Staff on the main University website menu.
