{"panels":[{"content":{"params":{"text":"<p><span style=\";\">In this&nbsp;video,&nbsp;we\u2019ll&nbsp;explore the&nbsp;main areas&nbsp;and features&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;use when setting up and managing your module.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\";\"><strong>Content area&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\";\">At the top of every course page,&nbsp;there\u2019s&nbsp;a&nbsp;banner which can be customised, and some&nbsp;space where you can add a short&nbsp;welcome&nbsp;message. On new pages, this section is called General, but you can rename it to something more inviting, like \u201cWelcome to [Module Name]\u201d like in the example shown here.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\";\">Below&nbsp;this&nbsp;section,&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;see tiles: these are where you add your materials. You can organise content into weekly or topic-based sections, depending on how your module is structured.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\";\"><em><strong>Course index&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\";\">On the left,&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;find&nbsp;the&nbsp;<em>Course index<\/em>. This gives a quick overview of all the sections and items in your course&nbsp;page, making it easier to navigate and jump to specific content.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\";\"><em><strong>Block drawer&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\";\">On the right,&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;find the&nbsp;<em>Block&nbsp;drawer<\/em>.&nbsp;Blocks are small panels that give quick access to useful tools and information. For example, you might see links to the Module Feedback Questionnaire, your Online Resource List, Microsoft&nbsp;apps&nbsp;and&nbsp;the DigiCentre. You can choose which blocks appear here to suit the needs of your module and your students.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\";\"><strong>Editing content&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\";\">To make changes to your course page, switch on&nbsp;<em>Edit mode<\/em>&nbsp;by using the button in the top right. This enables you to add, move,&nbsp;delete, or update content. Any changes you make will appear&nbsp;immediately&nbsp;to&nbsp;students, unless&nbsp;you choose to hide the item from them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\";\">To add content, go to where you want it to appear, select the plus sign (+) and choose <em>Activity or resource<\/em>. A dialog window&nbsp;will open,&nbsp;allowing you to choose what type of content to add.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\";\">Each item on your course page&nbsp;has an edit menu&nbsp;represented by three vertical dots (\u22ee).&nbsp;The ones you will use more often are as follows:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\";\"><em><strong>Edit settings<\/strong><\/em><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>opens the full set of options for an item.&nbsp;Here&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;be able to update its content, change its name and description, set availability dates, add access restrictions, and set completion tracking conditions.&nbsp;Depending on the type of content, there&nbsp;may be many settings available. Use the question mark icon (?) for guidance on what each setting does. <\/span><\/li><li><span style=\";\"><em><strong>Move<\/strong><\/em><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>allows you to reposition the item within the course. <\/span><\/li><li><span style=\";\"><em><strong>Move right<\/strong><\/em><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>indents the item slightly to the right. This is useful for visually grouping related items or creating a hierarchy within a section. <\/span><\/li><li><span style=\";\"><em><strong>Availability<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;lets you quickly hide or show the item to students.&nbsp; <\/span><\/li><li><span style=\";\"><em><strong>Duplicate<\/strong><\/em><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>creates a copy of the item. This is useful when you want to reuse a similar activity or resource without rebuilding it from scratch.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\";\">Finally,<em><strong>&nbsp;Delete<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;removes the item from your course page.&nbsp;You\u2019ll&nbsp;be asked to confirm before&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;deleted.&nbsp;Deleted items are sent to the&nbsp;<em>Recycle&nbsp;bin<\/em>, which you can find by selecting&nbsp;<em>More<\/em>&nbsp;in the top bar. If you&nbsp;delete&nbsp;something by mistake, you can restore it within 14 days;&nbsp;after that, it will be permanently removed.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\";\">To check how your&nbsp;page&nbsp;looks from a student\u2019s perspective, use&nbsp;<em>Switch role to\u2026&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Student<\/em>&nbsp;from the user menu. This is a useful way to see what your students will experience.&nbsp;For example, students will see a lot less settings.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\";\"><strong>Course management&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\";\">At the top of the page,&nbsp;you\u2019ll&nbsp;see a row of tabs:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\";\"><em><strong>Settings<\/strong><\/em>,&nbsp;where you can&nbsp;change the banner image and enable <em>Completion tracking<\/em> for your page.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\";\"><em><strong>Participants<\/strong><\/em>, where you can find&nbsp;a list of everyone enrolled on the course, including students and staff. <\/span><\/li><li><span style=\";\"><em><strong>Grades<\/strong><\/em>, where you can&nbsp;access the gradebook to view and manage student marks. <\/span><\/li><li><span style=\";\"><em><strong>Activities<\/strong><\/em>, where you can access an overview of all activities in the course.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\";\">And&nbsp;<em><strong>More<\/strong><\/em>, which&nbsp;includes&nbsp;additional&nbsp;tools such as <em>Reports<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Question bank<\/em>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<em>Recycle bin<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\";\">So&nbsp;that\u2019s&nbsp;it,&nbsp;a quick overview of the key parts of a Moodle&nbsp;course page.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>"},"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","subContentId":"99048c16-80d3-415f-a6c3-a1ff4c8c8c7d","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"}},"title":"Video transcript: Anatomy of a course page"}],"hTag":"h4"}
