Contents and Overview

This course is set up in a way that you can view the content in relatively small pieces and then get into your own course and practice what you've just learned about. If you do not currently have access to your own Moodle course, no need to worry! There are several free options to choose from that will allow you to practice.

You'll begin getting comfortable with Moodle's navigation and getting your course set up just how you want it by tweaking settings and adding different blocks. Depending on the overall goals for your course, this can mean very different things for different people. Moodle is a flexible tool that can allow you to do so many things to make your course your own.

You'll add resources and activities to your course. I'll introduce you to each one, talk about how you can use them in your course, and show you how to get them set up and ready to go! By the time we're done, you'll be able to add content, embed videos, create quizzes and assignments and much more within your course.

Together we'll explore the gradebook and look at different ways you can set it up. Moodle's gradebook is a powerful functional tool that when utilized properly can save you a lot of time and energy.

I'll be with you every step of the way to answer questions and provide support.
