[Anonymisation of survey responses]We may combine or correlate the responses in the feedback survey with
the responses in the pre-course survey to understand the influence of
different factors on course participation. However, in doing any such
analysis, we will be using anonymised numeric
identifiers and not real names. Further, for reporting purposes we may
use anonymised data or quotes from this survey. (You can also look at our privacy policy to learn how we use the data we collect.) While we ask you to
complete this survey to meet the completion criteria for the course,
your actual responses will not have any bearing
on your course completion status. |

How to check if you have assessed the submissions allocated to youTo check whether you have indeed completed the assessments, go to the activity page and scroll down to view the submissions assigned to you.

Percentage completion figure in Moodle Mobile appIf you use the Moodle Mobile app on your mobile device to access a course, you may see a percentage completion figure under your course on the app homepage (after you've logged in). This figure may be inaccurate in some cases -- this is a shortcoming of the Moodle app and not something we at INASP can control. Please do not use this figure to determine your progress in the course. You may as well ignore it. What is important is to check the completion criteria for the course and any other information given in the course on how to track your progress. |

How to save your own blog entriesIf you have written blog entries as part of a course, you may want to keep a record of all your entries to read them later on (for example, when you wish to remind yourself of what you learnt in the course). You can look at your own blog entries by going to your profile and clicking Blog entries (under the Miscellaneous heading). Then use the save or print feature in your web browser to save a copy of the page that you see. This page shows a maximum of 10 entries. If you have written more than 10 entries, you will see links to access the other pages with your entries and you can save/print all the pages one by one. |

have skipped one or more pages in between. |

Why deadline extensions are not possible for peer assessment activitiesAn activity that involves peer assessment has a number of sequential phases. Immediately after the deadline for the submission phase, the submissions are randomly allocated by the system for assessment. It's not possible to plug in a late submission after the activity enters the assessment phase. Then, right after the assessment phase, the activity is closed and everyone can view their assessments. Again, it's not possible to plug in late assessments once the activity is closed. Because of the way this activity works, we cannot extend the deadline for either the submission or assessment phase. So please do not ask for extensions! Related tip: phases of a peer assessment activity |

What others can see in your user profileIf you are a participant in a course on INASP Moodle, other course participants can see the following information about you: your photo if you have uploaded one, your description/bio if you have entered any text in the "description" field in your profile, your name, your email address, when you last accessed the course, your role in the course and which group (if any) you belong to, and the list of courses you are enrolled in. You can choose to hide your email address when you edit your profile. Others CANNOT see the city and country in which you are based. We encourage you to write a short description in your profile page (see check/edit your profile) so that your course colleagues who see your profile can learn about you. If you would like them to know where you live, mention your location in the description. |
Subscription to the news forumYour course may have a "News" forum, which normally appears at the top of the course homepage. This is a special forum where the course administrator or facilitator make announcements. You may be subscribed to this forum by default as we would like everyone to be notified whenever a post is made here. If you would like to unsubscribe from the News forum, visit this forum and click on "Unsubscribe from this forum". We however suggest that you remain subscribed to the News forum because the announcements made here are important. |
