Moodle User Guide (Teacher's Role)
Getting started (Demo) After your site administrator has set up Moodle and assign you to a new, blank course with teacher privileges, you can start constructing your course. You will need to be logged into the course as a user who has been assigned a role as a teacher (with editing rights) on that course to use most of the features You will find the course homepage is broken down into course sections. A course is created by , including using HTML in Moodle. There are different ways to enroll Students and assign them to one or more Groups in a course. The example below shows a new course set up with topic sections, edit is on. There are a few of Moodle's many blocks on the right and left sides of the topics, such as "Latest News" or "Administration". The teacher is already to add resources and activities or a few new blocks to their brand new course.
Editing course section (Demo)
To add or alter activities or resources a teacher will need to turn editing on and off with a button on the up right corner on the course homepage.
The "switch role to..." option
The turn editing option toggles between on and off, and when on, shows a variety of editing icons next to all editable objects in the course. Here are some common editing icons.
(Note that the open eye indicates that the resource is visible, while clicking it changes it to be invisible (to students), and vice versa with the closed eye. Note that the X deletes resources and activities (with a warning) whereas it only removes blocks (which can be added at any time later)
There are a number of robust interactive learning activity modules that you may add to you course. They can be added by using the add an activity dropdown box when editing is tured on.
Moodle supports a range of different resource types that allow you to include almost any kind of digital content into your courses. These can be added by using the add a resource dropdown box when editing is tured on.
Each course homepage generally contains blocks on the left and right with the centre column containing the course content. Blocks may be added, hidden, deleted, and moved up, down and left/right when editing is turned on.
Teachers can see and update student activities grades by using the grade feature in their administration block. Document Actions |
