Moodle
Moodle system requirements

If you haven't used Office 365 before, please log into Office 365 first, before logging into Moodle.

To run Moodle effectively you should, at minimum, have the system requirements listed on this page. If you do not, Moodle may still work but some functionality may be lost.

Workplace IT environment configurations can also restrict the functionality of Moodle. Access to content may be affected, along with the possibility of uploading files. File size limitations may also apply. Workplaces may also have older versions of software, and Moodle may not perform well with these.


Recommended operating systems

Windows 7 or 10, Mac OSX Sierra, iPad IOS10


Mobile devices

At present, the Moodle Mobile app is not recommended.


Internet speed

Use a broadband connection. Dial-up access will be significantly slower, and we do not recommend it for using Moodle.


Internet browsers

Ensure you are using the latest version of your internet browser.


Settings

We recommend that the following be enabled:

  • Cookies
  • Pop-ups (in both Internet browser and security software)
  • Javascript

Plug-ins

We recommend that you use the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.


Resource viewing

We recommend that you use the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.

To view all the resources uploaded to Moodle, you will probably need to have Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) or an equivalent (e.g. Open Office, Viewer) installed.


Security

With all firewalls, ensure that you enable uploading of files.

Printing and your printing account (Papercut)

All printing is done through PaperCut, a print management software.Yukon University students are allocated $40 worth of printing each term.

Each time you login on a lab computer, a small pop-up window will appear displaying your current balance. Clicking the Details link on this window will bring up a website that will let you see more detailed information about your PaperCut account. At the moment all computer labs are closed but there are workstations available at the Innovation Commons for student use.

How to activate your PaperCut account


Adding funds

If you run out of PaperCut funds before the term is over, you may purchase a top-up from the Campus Store. Please keep in mind the store is open limited hours from 10-2. After you’ve paid, go to IT Services in the Innovation Commons and show the staff there your receipt so they can add the funds to your PaperCut account.


Printing costs

  • Black and white printing costs $0.10 per page, with a discount of 50% for double-sided printing. For example, a five-page document printed single-sided will use $0.50 of your printing allocation.  A five-page document printed double-sided will use $0.25 of your printing allocation.
  • Large print jobs (more than 20 pages) that are selected to print single-sided will prompt you to save printing costs by printing double-sided.
