Moodle Training November 12, 2008
Moodle.org is the place to go. Get add ons, etc. Be very careful adding to your Moodle
TJ can add names, etc. to your site...he will do it, not us.
Moodle can:
Forums, Glossaries, Wikis, Assigments, Assessments, Choices (polls) Scorm/AICC Packages, Interactive databases, Interactive Lessons, Text pages, Labels, Web pages, Links to Resourced, IMX Content, surveys, Journal/blog, Workshops (students submit work, put a rubric in, teacher can have students be required to do the grading before student can submit), etc.
Blogs are locked, so students are protected. Moodle is extension of room.
Surname is last name
example.com
Be careful that what we assign can cascade down. Do not let a student be a teacher.
To CREATE A COURSE:
Course format Decide how to break up coure...by week or topic?
LAMS pre done
SCORM pre done
Social format is social oriented things
Topics format (Blogs format)
Weekly format will format weekly by date...it can be confusing
Grading program is sophisticated....would recommend not doing it at first until teacher has time to work with it.
Chameleon no....takes too long to download
Set enrollment duration set
Stay away from groups for now, again, sophisticated
Set enrollment key is case sensitive(room number is a good idea)
After you create course, assign teacher. Encourage teachers to make an account. Moodle.cliu.org
If students have an email...have them use that to have reports and news forums sent to them.
Never answer a student unless you are in your Moodle account or an account that is archived.
Wait 24 hours for an email, check junk email as well
Give teachers index cards for their name and password, in the next session they might forget their username and passwords!
Make sure everyone is force subscribed forever!!
Be sure to save!!!

The more on the page, the longer it takes to download. Watch for denial service, students can send and bring the site down.
When typing label, leave a space at top!!
Make a new window for the resource in the formatting
Do not use Messages in Administration
Make sure to backup the course. You will not need to save users, for next year. If you set it to users, potential problem with all the data. Will take too long. Recommend do not back up logs.
When teachers say their course cannot back up, check for what all they are backing up, there is probably too much.
Aides are not to be teachers, they are non-editing teachers
After backup, don't keep the files on the course site. Download and backup somewhere else!
