Welcome to the first Moodle challenge solution video! In this challenge you had to complete seven tasks.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

So\u202flet\u2019s\u202fjump straight in.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

Task 1: Add a course banner<\/strong><\/p>

To add a course banner, I go to\u202fSettings\u202f<\/em>at the top of the page, scroll down to\u202fCourse\u202fimage<\/em>\u202fand upload my file. Then I select\u202fSave and display<\/em>. Done!\u202f\u202f <\/p>

Task 2: Add a welcome message<\/strong><\/p>

To add the welcome message at the top of the page, I first switch\u202fEdit mode<\/em>\u202fon. Then, I click the three dots (\u22ee) next to the default section title\u202fGeneral<\/em>\u202fand choose\u202fEdit settings<\/em>.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

Here I rename the section\u202fWelcome to \u201cSkills for independent learning\u201d<\/em>, and\u202fadd the welcome message in the description field below. We have one heading here,\u202fHow\u202fto contact me<\/em>, so I format this as Heading 3. Then I select\u202fSave changes<\/em>.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

Let\u2019s\u202fturn off\u202fEdit mode\u202f<\/em>and see what it looks like.\u202fVery nice!\u202f <\/p>

Task 3: Rename the first two tiles<\/strong><\/p>

To rename a tile,\u202fI turn\u202fEdit mode\u202f<\/em>on,\u202fselect the three dots (\u22ee) next to the tile\u202fname\u202fand choose\u202fEdit settings<\/em>. I type in my new title and select\u202fSave changes<\/em>.\u202f <\/p>

For the second one, I take I little shortcut: I select the pencil icon next to the current title, type\u202fAssessment information and submission<\/em>, and press\u202fEnter<\/em>.\u202f <\/p>

Task 4: Add an image or icon to the two tiles<\/strong><\/p>

To create my tile images, I used the PowerPoint template. I picked two photos I downloaded from Adobe Stock and exported the slides as PNG files.\u202f <\/p>

Back in Moodle, with\u202fEdit mode<\/em>\u202fstill on, I select the icon to the left of the tile name. A dialog box pops up. Since I want to add an image, I choose\u202fUpload new photo<\/em>\u202fand select the file.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

I repeat the same steps for the second tile: select the icon to the left of the tile name, choose\u202fUpload new photo<\/em>, and select the file. You can also drag and drop the image if\u202fthat\u2019s\u202feasier!\u202f\u202f <\/p>

Let\u2019s\u202fsee how they look: I turn\u202fEdit mode<\/em>\u202foff, and\u202fhere\u202fthey are!\u202f\u202f <\/p>

Task 5: Add text to the\u202f<\/strong>Module information<\/strong><\/em>\u202ftile<\/strong><\/p>

Now\u202fwe\u2019re\u202fgoing to add two separate\u202fText and media areas<\/em>. The first one is for the\u202fModule schedule<\/em>.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

I turn\u202fEdit mode<\/em>\u202fback on and scroll down to the top of the\u202fModule information<\/em>\u202fsection. I select the + button and choose\u202fActivity or resource.\u202f<\/em>In the dialog window, I find\u202fText and media area<\/em>.\u202f <\/p>

I start by adding a title in the\u202fTitle in course index<\/em>\u202ffield. This\u202fwon\u2019t\u202fshow in the section itself, but it will appear in the\u202fCourse index<\/em>.\u202fI\u2019ll\u202fcall this one\u202fModule schedule<\/em>.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

Next, I paste in the text\u202fI\u2019ve\u202fcopied. I want\u202fModule schedule<\/em>\u202fto be a heading, so I highlight it and choose\u202fHeading 3<\/em>\u202ffrom the formatting options. You can also go to\u202fFormat<\/em>\u202f>\u202fParagraph styles<\/em>.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

Nice! Now the heading is properly formatted. This helps students using assistive technology to navigate the page more easily.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

One\u202fmore\u202fthing: I want this text to be a bullet list.\u202fSo\u202fI highlight the text and select the bullet list icon in the editor\u2019s toolbar. Keep in mind that some toolbar buttons might be hidden, especially if\u202fyou're\u202fusing a smaller screen or have zoomed in on the page.\u202fSo\u202fto reveal all options, select the three dots (\u22ee). All done! Now I select\u202fSave and return to course<\/em>.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

For the other\u202fText and media area<\/em>\u202fI try a slightly different method: I select the three dots to the right\u202fof\u202fthe\u202fText and media area<\/em>\u202fI just created and select\u202fDuplicate.\u202f<\/em>Here we have a copy! Now I select the three dots (\u22ee),\u202fEdit\u202fsettings<\/em>\u202fand update it with the\u202fnew content. One thing to be careful when duplicating a\u202fText and media area<\/em>\u202fis to update the\u202fTitle in course index<\/em>, otherwise it will show the name of the item you copied, with the word\u202fcopy<\/em>\u202fin brackets. When\u202fI\u2019m\u202fdone editing, I select\u202fSave and return to course<\/em>.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

That\u2019s\u202fthis step complete!\u202f\u202f <\/p>

Task 6: Add a subsection<\/strong><\/p>

To add a subsection, I select the plus sign (+) and choose\u202fSubsection<\/em>. To rename it, I select the three dots (\u22ee) next to the subsection name and choose\u202fEdit settings<\/em>. I type in the title and add the sentence describing what the subsection will\u202fcontain\u202fin the\u202fDescription<\/em>\u202ffield. Then I select\u202fSave changes<\/em>.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

Task 7: Hide the remaining tiles<\/strong><\/p>

Final task: we need to hide the other tiles. I select the three dots (\u22ee) next to the\u202ftile, and\u202fchoose\u202fHide<\/em>. That tile is now hidden from students.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

Here\u2019s\u202fa quick trick to hide the rest: use\u202fBulk actions<\/em>.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

While still in\u202fEdit mode<\/em>, select\u202fBulk actions<\/em>\u202fat the top of the page. Tick the boxes next to each tile you want to hide. In the bottom bar, select\u202fAvailability<\/em>, and choose\u202fHide on course page\u202f<\/em>and then select\u202fApply<\/em>. Done!\u202fI\u2019ve\u202fjust hidden seven sections in one go.\u202f\u202f <\/p>

And\u202fthat\u2019s\u202fit.
