Lessons: 3URL: 1Page: 1Quizzes
This module allows the teacher to design and set quiz tests, consisting of multiple-choice, true-false, and short answer questions and more. Each attempt is automatically marked, and the teacher can choose whether to give feedback and/or to show correct answers.Pages: 2URL: 1Quizzes: 3Resources
Teachers can provide course resources in various formats - pages edited in Moodle, uploaded files or web links.Page: 1Files: 3URL: 1SCORM packages
The SCORM module enables you (the teacher) to upload any SCORM or AICC package to include in your course. SCORM content can be delivered to learners via any SCORM-compliant Learning Management System (LMS). Moodle presents the content in SCORM packages to learners and saves data from learner interactions with the SCORM package.SCORM package: 1URL: 1Surveys
The Survey provides a number of verified survey instruments, including COLLES (Constructivist On-Line Learning Environment Survey) and ATTLS (Attitudes to Thinking and Learning Survey), which have been found useful in assessing and stimulating learning in online environments. Teachers can use these to gather data from their students that will help them learn about their class and reflect on their own teaching.Surveys: 3URL: 1Wikis
A wiki is a collection of collaboratively authored web documents. Basically, a wiki page is a web page everyone in your class can create together, right in the browser, without needing to know HTML. A wiki starts with one front page. Each author can add other pages to the wiki by simply creating a link to a page that doesn't exist yet.Wiki: 1URL: 1Workshops
Workshop is a powerful peer assessment activity. The workshop module enables peer assessment. The work flow for the Workshop module can be viewed as having five phases. The typical workshop activity can cover days or even weeks. The teacher switches the activity from one phase to another. Workshop is a peer assessment activity with many options. Students submit their work via an on line text tool and attachments. There are two grades for a student: their own work and their peer assessments of other students' work.Workshop: 1URL: 1Assignment
The assignment activity provides a space into which students can submit work for teachers to grade and give feedback on. This saves on paper and is more efficient than email. It can also be used to remind students of 'real-world' assignments they need to complete offline, such as artwork, and thus not require any digital content.Assignments: 4Forum: 1URL: 1Glossaries
The glossary module enables participants to create and maintain a list of definitions, like a dictionary. Glossary can be used in many ways. The entries can be searched or browsed in different formats. A glossary can be a collaborative activity or be restricted to entries made by the teacher. Entries can be put in categories. The auto-linking feature will highlight any word in the course which is located in the glossary.Glossaries: 2URL: 1Book: 1Forum: 1Assignment: 1Quiz: 1Page: 1Feedback
The Feedback activity allows you to create and conduct surveys to collect feedback. Unlike the Survey tool it allows you to write your own questions, rather than choose from a list of pre-written questions and unlike the Quiz tool, you can create non-graded questions. The Feedback activity is ideal for course or teacher evaluations.Feedback: 3Page: 1Interactive content
HTML5 content and applications. Interactive content by providing a range of content types for various needs. You can create interactive content by adding the H5P plugin to your LMS, or integrate it via LTI with Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard and many other VLE's that supports LTI integration.Interactive Content: 5Backup
A backup version of the course. A backup allows a site administrator to save everything associated with a moodle site. These backups can be restored to bring a course back to the point in time when the backup was made. Performing regular backups are highly recommended to reduce the amount of lost information in the event of a problem on the site and to speed the overall recovery process.Pages: 2URL: 1
