BETS also maintains a “general-purpose” Moodle site, known as the “genmoodle”, for use by instructors, departments, administrators, research groups, student clubs, training programs, etc.: https://gen.moodle.bilkent.edu.tr
Create a genmoodle Account
Anyone with an active bilkent.edu.tr domain email address can create a genmoodle account:
- Go to the gen3moodle login page and click the “Create New Account” button: https://gen.moodle.bilkent.edu.tr/login/index.php.
- You will receive an authentication email from the system. Follow or copy-paste the link in the email in your web browser to activate your account. If you don’t see an email, check your spam folder.
- Once your account is created, you can get access to a course by contacting the relevant course coordinator/instructor.
If you experience problems, please contact moodle@bilkent.edu.tr to request a genmoodle account.
Request a gen3moodle Course
Any Bilkent staff member or student can request a personal Moodle page. Example uses of the gen3moodle include an instructor sandbox for designing new courses, a departmental information page, practice courses for student educators, an in-service training program page, a student club website, etc.
To request your course, open the course request page: https://gen.moodle.bilkent.edu.tr/course/request.php
Complete the form with the following information:
- desired course short name (must be different from the course full name)
- desired course full name (a suggested title for your course, e.g., “Jenny Smith’s sandbox” or “EEE 101 Course Resources”, etc.)
- any information you can provide about the course’s context, purpose, and desired functionality
Adding Users to your gen3moodle Course
You can add users who have created gen3moodle accounts (see above) in several ways:
- individually via the participants window (this process is the same as in the STARS-integrated Moodle)
- by creating a self-enrolment method (Moodle Docs) (this will allow users to self enrol when they click the course link and provide any enrolment key you set).
To request bulk manual user enrolments and/or accounts for non-Bilkenters, please complete this MS Excel file (gen3-user-upload-blank) with all users’:
- Bilkent ID (type this in “username” please)
- Bilkent email address
- first name
- surname
- department (code, e.g., FAE, CITE, etc.)
- course enrolment (type the “course short name” as specified either above or in your course settings; must be different from the course full name)
- role in course: student, editingteacher, or teacher (=non-editing teacher/TA)
Please email the file to Moodle support team at moodle@bilkent.edu.tr.
