You can find Metropolia's Moodle at: moodle.metropolia.fi/ 

You can log in to Metropolia's Moodle with three types of credentials: 

• Metropolia: Primary login with Metropolia credentials
• Haka login: With credentials from another higher education institution.

Dashboard 

When you log in to Moodle, you will be directed to the Dashboard, where you can see  

• the timeline - information about the schedules of ongoing courses
• recently viewed courses - a list of the course areas you have recently visited
• calendar - upcoming lessons, assignments, and exams in the calendar view
• search function - you can search for courses in Moodle.  

The gray arrow on the right opens Blocks, which shows upcoming events, such as lessons, assignments, and exam schedules.  

You can edit the contents of the Dashboard and Blocks by clicking Edit in the upper right corner. 

Home 

On the home page, you will find general announcements. 

My courses 

In the My courses section, you will find all the courses you have enrolled in. You can edit the format in which the courses are displayed — card, list, or course description. You can search for courses using the search function or by filtering courses based on various criteria. 

• You can choose to display all courses.
• You can choose to display only Current courses, Past courses, or Upcoming courses.
• You can mark courses as favorites on a course-by-course basis from the three-dot menu, which also allows you to filter courses by favorites.
• You can remove courses from your view and display them by filtering out the courses you have removed from the view. It is recommended that you only remove courses from the view once you have completed them or if there are too many courses in the course view and you want to make browsing smoother.  

Students are automatically enrolled in some courses based on their registration. These courses can be found in Moodle after logging in under My Courses. You can also search for courses by name using the search function. 

Some courses require a course key, which you can obtain from your teacher. Your teacher can provide you with the course area address, but you can also search for the course area using the search function by entering the course name, part of the name, or the code. Once you have found the right course, add yourself to the course by entering the course key in the format provided. The course will then be available in the My Courses section after you have added yourself to the course using the course key.  

For questions about course content, schedules, and course performance, please contact the teacher responsible for the course. 

For technical issues, such as login problems, please contact the Helpdesk with a support request at hd.metropolia.fi/.
