Guides and Resources
MBChB Moodle is the Medical School’s new platform for delivering the core learning and teaching content across the MBChB programme. Moodle has replaced Medblogs and DELTA which are available for reference.
Please contact TILT for any assistance with Moodle and editing access to a particular course.

Whilst we recommend Yuja, we realise that this is not always possible for pre-recording lectures. PowerPoint is an easy to use alternative to record audio directly into your PowerPoint show.
We are also standardising the branding of the School’s lecture presentations and other content. This will encourage school-wide branding an help you to meet the accessibility requirements.
Padlet is another fantastic online collaboration tool that can increase student engagement. Padlet lets users post notes on a digital wall. Notes posted buy students or staff can contain links, images, video, comments and more.
Padlet is commonly used for Q&A and information. However, there are many creative ways to use Padlet once you get started.
Note: you need a university account to access Padlet
Panopto will replace YuJa as the University’s video recorder and library.
Panopto can be used to record lectures on teaching computers and on your own device.
YuJa will be replaced by Panopto on 1st April 2024 after which no new Yuja videos can be made. All previously recorded Yuja videos will remain in place until migrated to Panopto which is expected by July 2024.
There are a range of collaboration tools to encourage and facilitate student engagement. Using these tools in online and in-person environments can encourage active learning and participation from your students. Mentimeter is one of them.
Mentimeter allows you to build interactive presentations with an easy-to-use online editor, directly from your browser. Add questions, polls, quizzes, slides, images, GIFs and more to your presentation to make them more engaging and fun. Your audience can use their smartphone or other device to connect to your presentation and answer questions/provide feedback.
Note: you need a university account to access Mentimeter
Medblogs and DELTA
Medblogs and DELTA have been replaced by MBChB Moodle and are no longer being updated as of July 2023 but is still available for locating historical information. Please visit MBChB Moodle for the latest information and teaching materials, and update your bookmarks to https://mbchb.dundee.ac.uk.
