Problems with Moodle non-UCLA Special Cases

This is a list of the problems that we are currently aware of with special case enrollments in Moodle classes where the person does not have a UCLA Login and can log into My.UCLA (use ISIS). And who can add them? Instructors, TAs, Admins?

Problems

• they won’t show up in My.UCLA
  • Gradebook
  • Roster (download or view)
  • Email to class won’t include them
  • BruinCard photo won’t show up in roster
• The drop/unenroll process won’t be the same as for Registrar data-driven enrollments
• May not have access to BOL VPN, which affects:
  • Library Electronic Reserves
  • Library Licensed Content
  • OID Video Furnace
  • Wireless won’t work
  • UCLA Login (ISIS) won’t work (by definition)
    

Types of Special Cases

• Extension Students (they show up on SRWeb and Rosters, but they show up much later and we’re not sure of their login abilities.
  
  • not sure about ISIS
  • not sure about BOL VPN
• Senior Scholars
• Community Scholars (only SPA)
• student auditors
• guest lecturers
• Rand and other research centers

Potential Solutions

• Senior Scholars have an agreement with BOL where they can get a BOL ID but what does that mean? Can these BOL IDs be given full privileges. Currently they don’t have UIDs.
• Could Moodle be programmed to accept PPID or UCLA LOGON ID in lieu of UID?
• For instructor to see all students, go to my.ucla gradebook and Moodle Assign Roles, look at Student – UCLA
• Could My.UCLA accept Moodle Special Cases data feed?
