There are two kinds of "pages" in Moodle: text and web pages. Personally, I have found web pages much more useful. But all the skills you'll learn in this lesson can be applied to the other. START VIDEO LESSON |

This resource enables you to direct your students the proper web page without having to worry that they might not type a lengthy URL properly. By keeping students in Moodle, this is a powerful tool for online learning. START VIDEO LESSON |

Keeping your main Moodle page tidy is a worthwhile lesson. Too much visual stimulation can be difficult for students and adults alike. Directories enable you to provide structure. START VIDEO LESSON |

Blocks are those squares that hold information about your course. Try not to confuse these with the "boxes" in the middle of the page which hold content. Adding and removing blocks in quite simple. START VIDEO LESSON |

Each month, the Moodle Users Group bring us updates and tricks to apply to Moodle!
Once a month you will receive an email from me with a "Moodle Tip" regarding
an element of Moodle.Did you know that you can track the number of Forums that have been added
since your last log in?
- Click your name in the top right corner to access your profile
- Click the Edit profile tab
- Click the "Show Advanced" button under the Roles tab
- Six or so stops below "Email address" is the choice "Forum tracking"
- Change the option from No to Yes
Next time you log in you will have an indicator next to each forum telling
you how many unread posts you have. Click the "Unread posts" link and it will
take you to the forum. Click the digit in the "Unread" list and it will take
you to the first new post. Students can activate this feature in their profile as well.
