Guidance on Using Raider Moodle

Several OLLI at SOU instructors are using the learning management platform called Raider Moodle. This platform provides a space for instructors to post course materials, host discussion boards, and send out announcements to students. The OLLI office creates accounts for every member enrolled in a Raider Moodle course. Refer to the Raider Moodle Guide for OLLI Members to find instructions on logging in, accessing courses, and more!

Note: Students enrolled in courses were advised not to use the Moodle app, as it is not the same as our Raider Moodle site. Please log into raider.moodle.sou.edu to access your Raider Moodle courses.
