Moodle

Planning the structure of your content is an important part of any online course. Here are some tips to consider.

Past exam papers are stored in the University’s resource store which you can access through Moodle.

Lesson is an activity in Moodle which allows tutors to create a series of content and questions pages.

Workshop is an activity in Moodle which allows both self-assessment and peer assessment on an electronic submission of coursework.

The Group Choice activity allows students to enrol themselves in a group within a Moodle course which can then be used for later activities or releasing certain content.

The switch roles feature in Moodle allows a user to switch temporarily to another role so they can see what the course would look like to someone else (e.g. a student).

A ‘shared content course’ can be requested if you need to teach the same content across more than one module course.

Reports can provide a very useful insight into how a student (or academic) has interacted with Moodle and give invaluable information if it is necessary to review a claim of Extenuating Circumstances for an eSubmission from a student.

To create an online submission point in Moodle you will need to use the assignment tool.

The activity chooser appears when the editing is turned on in a course and you click the link 'Add an activity or resource'.
