Instructional Content

Overview - Instructional content is static content intended to introduce concepts to the learner. This may consist of blocks on the course pages, reading assignments from the course textbook(s), uploaded documents, external links, or rich media stored on our Kaltura site. When choosing content to present to the learner, give some thought as to how long each piece of content will take to “digest,” and when content should be optional. If there is an intended order in which learners can benefit most from this content, make that clear in your page design.

Add Syllabus to Course

Add your syllabus to your course using the add resource/file option.

Editing in Moodle

Editing includes many tasks including adding content, changing it,  formatting it,  and  moving it.

Overview Tips

Module overviews should provide a relevant and guiding introduction to the activities and expectations for the module. The overview can be considered as what you might say in the first 10-15 minutes if you were teaching in a physical classroom.

Resources

Resources may be added to any page in Moodle.  Resources include such things as a file, a folder, a label, an HTML page, a URL (or link). These usually include static information, but can also be links to active learning resources from outside the course.

Blocks

Blocks are items which may be added to the left or right column of any page in Moodle. Blocks include such things as Activities, Calendar, HTML, Logged in user, Messages, Navigation, Online users, People, Settings, Upcoming Events.
