"Moodle" (abbr., short for " Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment") is the name of the e-learning platform used at the University of Vienna.
You can log into Moodle using your u:account credentials (i.e. your user name and the password you set). When logging into Moodle for the first time, you may be prompted to accept the terms and conditions, and you'll need to accept in order to proceed and be able to use Moodle.
Lecturers and course instructors can employ Moodle as an effective means for (online) teaching and learning in various ways: to provide study material, to communicate with students, to offer interactive groups, discussion forums, and (peer-to-peer or "classical") feedback, as well as to implement online examinations, performance assessments, or assignments, etc.
Courses with continuous assessment may require a password to access the corresponding Moodle e-learning course, or the lecturer/course instructor needs to manually add students to the course.
Moodle e-learning courses for lectures or other courses featuring non-continuous assessment can commonly be accessed by students directly via a link in the course description on u:find.
Students have to sign up for n-pi courses via u:find to gain access to the Moodle e-learning platform. Detailed information on signing up for n-pi courses can be found in the section "Registration System".
No.
A lecture (German "Vorlesung", abbr. "VO") is a course featuring non-continuous assessment ("n-pi"), which generally do not require registration via u:space, and are open to all interested students. (The lecture examination does require registration!)
BUT you have to sign up for n-pi courses via u:find to gain access to the Moodle e-learning platform. Detailed information on signing up for n-pi courses can be found in the section "Registration System".
Please have a look at the description of different course types, containing a complete list of all kinds of courses offered at the Department of Philosophy for more detailed information.
"VO" is the abbreviation of the German term "Vorlesung", which translates to "lecture".

"LV" is a common abbreviation of the German term "Lehrveranstaltung" (plural: "Lehrveranstaltungen", abbr. "LVen"), and means "course".
This term is used to describe all kinds of courses; courses with continuous assessment (German: "prüfungsimmanente Lehrveranstaltungen", abbr. "pi LVen") and courses with non-continuous assessment (German: "nichtprüfungsimmanente Lehrveranstaltungen", abbr. "n-pi LVen").

Registering for courses via u:space comprises several steps. Even when using u:space in English, your registration status may be displayed in German.
The different stages and possible states of a registration are:
- "angelegt": this means that you have created a registration request, but are not yet registered. Make sure to proceed with the registration, otherwise your registration won't be considered when distributung the available places to students.
- "vorgemerkt": this means that you successfully registered for the course, but only a limited number of places are available. Thus, you need to wait until the end of the registration period to see whether or not you actually got a place in this course. Your status could then change to e.g. "angemeldet" or "auf Warteliste" (Note that this may depend on how many of your points you spent on this course registration).
- "angemeldet": this means "registered" -- you are now registered for the course.
(Please make sure to attend the first course session, otherwise you may be deregistered)
- "auf Warteliste": this status means "on the wait list", thus, you did not get a place, and are on the wait list. (If some students deregister or do not attend the first course session you may still get a place. You can also use the points spent on this course registration in addition to your usual quota of points next semester to increase your chances of getting a place next time -- but only if you keep the waiting list status and do not deregister, and only on the same or an equivalent course. )
- "Alternative erhalten": You got a place in an alternative course offered, thus, the course you wanted to register for is full, but you can attend an equivalent course as an alternative and have automatically been registered for this course. (Please make sure to attend the first course session as to not lose your place, and do deregister in case you do not plan to attend this course. )
- "in Bearbeitung": this means that your registration request is currently being processed. This may take some time (up to several hours) and you won't be able to edit your registration during this time.
Please consult the section on the course registration system and have a look at the tutorial videos about registering for courses to avoid running into problems with your registrations.
