How to enrol with the York St. John University’s subject knowledge support moodle areas Please read and follow ALL of the instructions below very carefully to ensure that the registration process works correctly. The York St John subject knowledge support moodle areas are mainly for students who are about to start on a programme of initial teacher training. They will provide some help in getting you back up to speed in areas of maths, English and science where you might be a bit rusty, but where you will have to show a satisfactory level of subject knowledge in order to meet the TDA’s standards for teaching at primary level. It has been designed to allow you to access some self-audit and self-help materials to help you identify, and work on, any areas for development BEFORE you arrive to start your programme of study and early on in your first year. Please ensure that all the self-audits are carried out, and the three subjects’ progress charts that have been made available are completed, as soon as possible. Bring any completed audits and progress charts to university so that they can be filed in your personal file, this way your academic tutor can check on your progress. It may be that you are not able to complete all of the auditing and remediation work necessary before arriving at university. If this is the case then you can continue with the process during semester 1. Undergraduate students would be wise to carry out the English audits first as your first English module starts in semester 1, the maths and science modules do not start until semester 2. Postgraduates need to look at all three areas as soon as possible as your programme includes all three subjects from the start. Follow the step-by-step instructions below carefully in order to access and register for each subject area of the moodle site. The final step each time requires an enrolment ‘key’. This is: selfhelp Step 1 Access the site via: http://moodle.yorksj.ac.uk (NB ‘Moodle’ is simply the software that is used to create this virtual learning environment. There is a subject support area for English, maths and science.) Step 2 Click on ‘Create new account’ (Do not try to log in with a user name and password – it will not work!!) Step 3 Type in your own details in the form that pops up. Because you are able to use your own private email you will be able to access the site before you come to university and get a university username. Please don’t confuse these two log ins once you are given a university username and password. Step 4 Once you have clicked on the ‘Create my account’ button’ a message will pop up informing you that your account has been created and that an email will have been sent to your personal email address for you to confirm your registration. You will be sent an email from the Moodle site telling you that your new account has been registered. All you need to do now is click on the link provided in the email, within 24, hours to activate the account. NB This message will arrive almost immediately as it is automatically generated. If it doesn’t arrive then it could well be that your email system has filtered it out as ‘spam’ or blocked it altogether. If it doesn’t appear then simply revisit the site after a day or two and log in. We normally try to confirm registrations manually on your behalf asap so you shouldn’t have any trouble getting onto the site. If you do then contact [email protected] and we will sort you out. 187944805 -1- Step 5 Click on the ‘courses’ button which takes you to the screen below and then select ‘Teacher Trainers – Core Subject Knowledge’ Alternatively you can vist: Subject Knowledge Homepage – via Both take you to the following screen: http://moodle.yorksj.ac.uk/course/category.php?id=30 Step 6 Now all you need to do is click on each of the relevant courses and type in the enrolment key when prompted.
