Join the CLT for a tea break virtual drop-in
Over the coming weeks, we will schedule a series of virtual drop-in sessions . Each week we will focus on topics that reflect frequently asked questions to the team.
These short sessions are targeted basic quick-start introductions and demos for staff on key issues and online technologies, with an opportunity to ask questions throughout on the chat and a Q&A at the end.
Moodle Essentials Q&A
Friday 7th August 2020 11.30-12.00
This drop-in is designed to give you the chance to ask questions on basic setup and use of Moodle: the TEL team will be on hand to point you to our help material and also live demo the solutions. To help us prepare it would be useful if you can submit questions beforehand via this form.
If you have any specific or detailed queries relating to your Moodle course, please contact us on tel@bath.ac.uk as usual.

Moodle-SAMIS grade transfer
Tuesday o2 June - Moodle-SAMIS Grade transfer Q&A
If you have recorded marks in Moodle (option 2) or completed your marking online (option 3) for alternative assessments, if you are the course convener, you can use the Moodle-SAMIS Grade Transfer tool to transfer marks from Moodle to SAMIS. You may also wish to use the tool for transferring coursework marks recorded in Moodle.
Note if you have carried out marking offline for alternative assessments (option 1), liaise with your local Programme team to arrange for marks to be entered directly into SAMIS via a .csv file
Pre-session activity
We are not able to demonstrate grade transfer in a live demonstration as it relies on assessment mappings between Moodle and SAMIS.
Before the Drop-in session please view the guidance material
- Guidance on Moodle-SAMIS Grade Transfer
- a step-by-step screencast
- how-to guide (pdf)
During the Drop-in we ran a Question and Answer session to answer any queries you have about Moodle-SAMIS grade transfer.
