Welcome
Kia ora and welcome. We trust you are all keen and ready for study in Semester 2 – 2016.
Below are a few things we think will help you get started.
Access to Moodle and your courses
All Whitireia NZ students have access to the Whitireia Online (Moodle) website. To login, use your normal Whitireia NZ username and password from the Whitireia Online (Moodle) home page: http://moodle.whitireia.ac.nz. Your teacher should be able to advise you of what you initial login details are. If you are unsure what your Whitiriea NZ username and/or password is contact ICT Services Helpdesk 0800 944 847 ext 3783, the Poutama Academic Services ext 3721, or the Online Learning Centre (ext 3201, 3774, 3213 or 3889).
Once you have successfully logged onto Moodle, your default, My Home page will appear. Your My Home page is a dashboard, with links to your courses.
The teaching staff within your programme are responsible for making your courses available to you. Follow up with your teachers first, if you think you have issues with access to your courses.
