Term 3 Week 4 12th August
Task1: This week spend some time looking at the help pages. The ones I use the most are the Moodle Tutorials.
See if you can find how to download and embed YouTube videos. And then How to add the Poll Block.
Another place for help is moodle.org, unfortunately you have to sign up for it and the password requirements are tough, but its well worth having access to it.

Term 2 Week 8 10 June
Sharing Good Practice:
Add a Contents Box to your Moodle Site
You can add a contents box to your Moodle site so that students can just click on the relevant section and be taken directly there (instead of having to scroll through all of your material).
Turn editing on, then scroll down to "Blocks" on the bottom right hand side. Select 'Course Menu' from the drop down menu. This will show a contents page for your course. You can move this to a different location on your Moodle page by using the arrows at the top of the box.

Term 2 Week 7 3rd June
Task 1. Check out the new 'Moodle for teaching and learning' course as mentioned above.
Sharing good practice:
MM: Using Labels -This is handy when you want to break up your 'links' in a topic with some text (explanations, introductions etc). To put text between links turn on editing, go to
- 'insert a resource'
- choose 'insert a label'
- Here you can type your text in,
- hit save and return.
The text will go to the end of the topic so use the 'move it' button at the bottom to put it where you want it between your links.
LB will again be working with BS and PE looking at the basics of creating a course on Moodle in A11 if anyone wants to join if they haven't got very far with their course. Right back to basics!!!!
