00:00:04.450 --> 00:00:07.300
Moodle offers many
opportunities to add various

2
00:00:07.300 --> 00:00:11.090
activities and resources to a course.

3
00:00:11.090 --> 00:00:15.470
Deciding which activities
or resources to use depends

4
00:00:15.470 --> 00:00:19.720
largely on the pedagogical need.

5
00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:25.270
Let's explore common uses
of activities and resources.

6
00:00:25.270 --> 00:00:28.440
Enable editing mode in Moodle

7
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:36.640
and find 'Add an activity or resource'
at the bottom of each topic.

8
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.620
From the popup window, you'll see
all available resources and activities

9
00:00:40.620 --> 00:00:44.050
currently in Moodle.

10
00:00:44.050 --> 00:00:47.970
You can also view activities
or resources from their own tabs.

11
00:00:47.970 --> 00:00:52.920
To share URLs, files, multiple files
in a folder, create pages,

12
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.960
add instructional text to the course,
or even import a lecture booklet into Moodle,

13
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:02.880
you can use resources.

14
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.970
Activities, on the other hand,
engage students actively,

15
00:01:05.970 --> 00:01:08.370
typically through assignments.

16
00:01:08.370 --> 00:01:13.890
Common activities include assignments
submitted to a student folder,

17
00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:21.150
Assignment activity, Turnitin assignment,
or workshop.

18
00:01:21.150 --> 00:01:24.440
In student folders, students
can submit work for others to read,

19
00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:26.740
while in Assignment activity,
they submit work for the teacher to assess.

20
00:01:26.740 --> 00:01:34.690
Turnitin assignments use plagiarism detection
and guide students in academic writing.

21
00:01:34.690 --> 00:01:37.450
In workshops, students
self-assess their work or peer-review others'.

22
00:01:37.450 --> 00:01:42.160
Though these are common forms of
assignment submission,

23
00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:46.470
many other activities can be used
depending on the submission's requirements.

24
00:01:46.470 --> 00:01:52.290
For independent student work,
consider using lessons,

25
00:01:52.290 --> 00:01:55.040
where students progress through topics
at their own pace.

26
00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:05.050
Students can write journals or wikis,
take quizzes,

27
00:02:05.050 --> 00:02:10.160
use interactive H5P exercises,
or external tools integrated with Moodle.

28
00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:18.330
Moodle offers chat, video conferencing,
and discussion forums for discussions.

29
00:02:18.330 --> 00:02:22.730
For group assignments,
use discussion forums,

30
00:02:22.730 --> 00:02:28.430
group submission assignments,
group settings in Wikis,

31
00:02:28.430 --> 00:02:34.010
or group settings in workshops.

32
00:02:34.010 --> 00:02:38.090
Each group can submit work
for peer review.

33
00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:44.430
Descriptions for all activities
and resources can be found

34
00:02:44.430 --> 00:02:49.060
via the 'Add an activity or resource' menu.

35
00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:54.350
Once you've chosen an activity,
add it to the course area by clicking

36
00:02:54.350 --> 00:03:07.070
'Add' or selecting the activity
directly from the resource selection.

37
00:03:07.070 --> 00:03:12.210
The activity/resource will open
directly for customization.

38
00:03:12.210 --> 00:03:16.070
For each activity, provide at least
a name and description of the task.

39
00:03:16.070 --> 00:03:29.640
You can rearrange activities and resources
on the course area by dragging them

40
00:03:29.640 --> 00:03:33.030
to different locations while in editing mode.
