Course management

Managing Moodle Courses

• A full teacher has full control over all settings for a course, including restricting other teachers
• Choice of course formats such as by week, by topic or a discussion-focussed social format
• Flexible array of course activities - Forums, Journals, Quizzes, Resources, Choices, Surveys, Assignments, Chats, Workshops
• Recent changes to the course since the last login can be displayed on the course home page - helps give sense of community
• Most text entry areas (resources, forum postings, journal entries etc) can be edited using an embedded WYSIWYG HTML editor
• All grades for Forums, Journals, Quizzes and Assignments can be viewed on one page (and downloaded as a spreadsheet file)
• Full user logging and tracking - activity reports for each student are available with graphs and details about each module (last access, number of times read) as well as a detailed "story" of each students involvement including postings, journal entries etc on one page.
• Mail integration - copies of forum posts, teacher feedback etc can be mailed in HTML or plain text.
• Custom scales - teachers can define their own scales to be used for grading forums, assignments and journals
• Courses can be packaged as a single zip file using the Backup function. These can be restored on any Moodle server.
