    • Dear Students


      We have prepared this course to introduce a little bit about this platform, and how could it help your learning process.

      We as HTW Chur are University of Applied Sciences and wish for innovative and fascinating studies. 

      Most of your documents for your studies could be found here in Moodle. There are also possibilities for the lecturers to arrange online exams and group assignment services here. Moodle also provide a easier communication between lecturers and student, which could be achieved easily by Forum activity.

      We are looking forward to see you on the next Info Day, if  we haven't got to know each other yet!


      Kind Regards,  

      Yours HTW Chur

  • How it works with Moodle

    • Homepage

      You could look around first. On the homepage you could see an overview of our field of studies. The courses are already categorized and here you could find all courses at our university. Another insight of the curriculum could be found on our HTW Website: 

      www.htwchur.ch/en/study-programmes

      When you are already enrolled/ registered as student, then you could go to your branch of study to see your available courses. But usually you will be enrolled automatically on your courses.

    • Homepage: Login

      The most of web services at our university is only accessible with the SWITCH-AAI system for the login process.

      And it's the same in Moodle. The account for this is the same like your login details on Intranet. You will receive this details per post, and this normally structured like the following:

      Username: surnamefirstname

      Please select your institution first (HTW Chur) and then click login button to continue the process.

    • Find Help!

      When you can't find your way in Moodle or if you are looking for a help, we have prepared a  Help Course. 


      And if it still doesn't help, we are always there for you. You could contact your department administrator or supervisor.

      As the last resort if it's still not working like you want it to be you could write an E-Mail to moodle@htwchur.ch, we will gladly help you there. 

    • Dashboard: Course Overview

      Course overview on your Dashboard shows you which courses are active on the current semester, for the next Semester and also the courses that you had before at our university.

    • Course View: Who is my classmate?

      At the beginning sometimes it is difficult to remember all names and faces.

      But you don't need to worry about that. Since beside our orientation events, you could also come to the gathering event (e.g. Semester Apero) or exkursion, where you could get to know other students much better and faster. Study at HTW means not only studying but also building new friendship and connection between each other. With our reasonable amount of students/ employees you will know people around you faster here.

      Here on Moodle you could also find your fellow students easily in every course, when you open the participants menu on the left side of the course view. It is also possible to write a message to any of them directly through moodle chat.

    • Activities: What is in my course?

      Moodle provides various learn contents to help the learning process.

      Mostly your lecturers would upload their documents here (references or lecture slides).

      But it is also common that you would see different content/ activity on your course for example Online Exams, Quizzes, Wiki or Assignment.

      How these things look and work would be explained on the next section.
