2020 Edition

Moodle is an online system to support learning in classes. By accessing Moodle Class Pages created by Teachers (referred to as “courses”), it is possible to browse course materials and teaching materials outside of class hours, take quizzes, and prepare and review. You can also submit assignment reports online. In addition, using the forum (electronic bulletin board) it is possible to have discussions with course participants and collaborate with Wikis etc.However, not all classes at Chiba University use Moodle. And each class uses Moodle in various different ways. Please follow the instructions of your teacher as to how to use it in your class.

You can access the Chiba University Moodle site at the following URL.
