| ==Creating a web page==
| |
| | |
| This sort of resource makes it easy to develop a complete single [[Web_page|web page]] within Moodle, especially when you are using Moodle's WYSIWYG HTML editor.
| |
| | |
| The page is stored in the database, not as a file, and you have a lot of freedom to do almost anything you like using HTML, including Javascript, sometimes. Its often [[HTML_in_Moodle|stripped out]]. If the Javascript code in in the moodle site lib it can be used: [[overlib]] but I don't know how one can use [[Unobtrusive javascript]] (in lib from Moodle 1.7?)

| ==Linking to a file or web site==
| |
| | |
| This resource type allows you to [[File_or_website_link|link to any web page or other file]] on the public web. It also allows you to link to any web page or other file that is in the course file area. Since Moodle is web based application, it is possible to link to other specific pages in an activity or to another activity in a different course.

| | |
| Normal web pages are simply displayed as they are, while multimedia files are dealt with more intelligently and may be embedded within a web page. For example, MP3 files will be displayed using a built-in streaming player, as will movie files, flash animations and so on.

| There are many options for displaying your content in popup windows, framed windows and so on.

| In particular, if your resource is a web application or other type of content able to accept parameters, you can choose to send information to your resource such as the user's name, their email, the course they are currently in, and so on.

Moodle supports a range of resource types that teachers can add to their course sections.
Displaying a directory
The directory resource can display a whole directory (and its subdirectories) from your course files area. Students can then browse and view all those files.
Deploy IMS Content
This resource type allows you add IMS content packages to your course by a zipped file. There are various options for displaying content in a popup window, with a navigation menu or buttons etc.
Inserting a label
A label is a way to add text to the content area of your course. Labels can be used to give a quick instruction or for telling users what to click on next. Usually labels should be short and to the point. Don't put in course content...use web pages or text pages for that.
