While in the course, the central part of the view contains the course content, which is usually divided into sections, i.e. course modules. The first module usually contains basic information about the course (introduction), i.e. syllabus, literature, description of the course modules and the rules for using them, a glossary of terms. The next modules contain material from individual topics or classes. In the case of a course supporting traditional teaching, only teaching materials may be included (without additional descriptions provided by the teacher).

The left part of the view may contain blocks that help you use the course. Depending on the context, these can be:

  • View grades(gradebook with quiz/exercise results)

  • View of upcoming events (information about  access date for quiz, exercise, etc.

  • Access to chosen type of component ( platform functionality)

  • Main menu; available on  main page of platform, contains news

  • Navigation block; in first block we have many useful options. The main functionality is ability to move in courses and component of courses.

The main content of the course can be shaped by the palette of activities and resources that determine the value of the e-Learning platform.



Activities

  • HotPot (The HotPot module allows teachers to distribute interactive learning materials to their students via Moodle and view reports on the students' responses and results.)

  • Lesson (The lesson activity module enables a teacher to deliver content and/or practice activities in interesting and flexible ways. A teacher can use the lesson to create a linear set of content pages or instructional activities that offer a variety of paths or options for the learner. In either case, teachers can choose to increase engagement and ensure understanding by including a variety of questions, such as multiple choice, matching and short answer.)

  • Quiz (The quiz activity enables a teacher to create quizzes comprising questions of various types, including multiple choice, matching, short-answer and numerical.)

A teacher can use these to gather data from their students that will help them learn about their class and reflect on their own teaching.)

Resources

  • Book (The book module enables a teacher to create a multi-page resource in a book-like format, with chapters and subchapters. Books can contain media files as well as text and are useful for displaying lengthy passages of information which can be broken down into sections.)

  • File (The file module enables a teacher to provide a file as a course resource. Where possible, the file will be displayed within the course interface; otherwise students will be prompted to download it. The file may include supporting files, for example an HTML page may have embedded images.)

  • Folder (The folder module enables a teacher to display a number of related files inside a single folder, reducing scrolling on the course page. A zipped folder may be uploaded and unzipped for display, or an empty folder created and files uploaded into it.)

  • Label (The label module enables text and multimedia to be inserted into the course page in between links to other resources and activities. Labels are very versatile and can help to improve the appearance of a course if used thoughtfully.)

  • URL (The URL module enables a teacher to provide a web link as a course resource. Anything that is freely available online, such as documents or images, can be linked to; the URL doesn’t have to be the home page of a website. The URL of a particular web page may be copied and pasted or a teacher can use the file picker and choose a link from a repository such as Flickr, YouTube or Wikimedia (depending upon which repositories are enabled for the site.)
