Basic steps

  • Log in to your Moodle site
  • Go to the course
  • Turn editing on
  • Go to the topic / week where you would like the activity
  • Select the 'Add an activity...' pull down menu
  • Select the activity from the pull down list
  • Enter the activity settings and save them
  • Possibly move the activity
