Username and Passwords

To access accounts on the various Wesleyan servers, you will be prompted for a username and password. Your username is automatically assigned and is the same for all systems. You are assigned an initial password on each system, but you should change it to something secure that you will remember. You have the same password on each system. A password is secure if it does not contain an entire word, is 6-8 characters, has mixed upper and lower case letters and contains at least one non-alphabetic character.

If you have forgotten your password and need to request a password reset, students should go to the Help Desk (SC 143) with their Wes ID card and the password will be changed within 24 hours of the request. Faculty and staff should call Operations at x2128.

Your e-mail username and password is used to access several secure websites, including Electronic Portfolio and the high-volume printing request form.

You can change your password via your E-Portfolio in Tools and Links>Password Manager.

Moodle

Moodle is a Learning Management System -- an integrated system that allows faculty and students to communicate and share course materials in a wide variety of ways. Moodle is easy to use for both faculty and students, and allows the instructor to customize the course space and pick from the array of built-in tools those most appropriate to their teaching needs. For example, the system includes discussion forums, spaces for uploaded documents such as MS Word files or Powerpoint shows, electronic submission of assignments, auto-graded quizzes, an online gradebook, space to display links to websites and images, and more. Every student, faculty, and staff member has a Moodle account, although you may not yet be a participant in a specific Moodle space. The Moodle home page is at http://moodle.wesleyan.edu -- there you can find links to information specifically for students or faculty, including directions on how to log in.  Additionally, there is a Moodle link in your portfolio which you can use to access the system.  Orientation videos and Moodle systems announcements can be found at http://moodle.blogs.wesleyan.edu/.

Faculty wishing to utilize Moodle in a course can create it through their faculty portfolio (go to Courses --> Instructional Computing --> Moodle Course Request). Anyone interested in having a Moodle for non-course use should contact Jolee West (jwest@wesleyan.edu, x2763).
