Docs2
Moodle 2 Docs objectives
- Have a set of clear, user-friendly Docs for people to contribute to and read.
- Have a broad structure/overview (including a Table of Contents below) to:
- - make it easy to clone/archive for each future version of Moodle and its dedicated Docs wiki.
- - make it easier for community members to see where to create and find content (while free to edit and add pages, of course).
- - make it easier to see what documentation is missing/outdated/irrelevant
- - make it easier to link page URLs in Moodle releases to appropriate Docs page
Table of Contents - a map of pages and templates
The Table of Contents below is a map of pages and templates that appear on (some of) them.
Imagine a template (box of links on the right side, example) on the page for each indented item. For example (using the table below), Page 1. will have a template with items 1.1.1 - 1.1.7, page 1.1.4 will have items 1.1.4.1 - 1.1.4.4 etc).
If we want a stricter control over templates as the organising feature of Table of Contents, we could perhaps lock them and only a few people can make changes to keep a reasonable structure (will help in cloning new version wikis).
The useful links in creating each page (check the initial Docs 2.0 draft) will be inserted into page comments for each page to help community members build the wiki but with information customised for Moodle 2.x.
Templates for activities explained:
- 'Activity' Settings
Corresponds with Settings [block]-> 'Activity' administration menu -> Edit settings, hence the name used. Include permissions.
This is the first stage (add/update) of two-step activities (Database, Lesson, Feedback, Quiz).
Guide the user through the options available ON THIS PAGE ONLY, before they click 'Save and display'.
- Building 'Activity' (Database, Lesson, Feedback and Quiz only)
What the creator (eg. teacher) needs to know after the initial setup ('Activity' settings) in building the activity before it is opened to participants (eg. students).
- Using 'Activity'
Everything AFTER the activity is open to participants. Things like viewing, posting, grading, results, analysis, reports, good practices, examples, pedagogical implications.
This should provide enough 'room' for community members to create new pages and content without being too prescriptive in what they should write.
Strange remarks
Legend to remarks, temporary only from a doc that helps (Tomaz) keep track of what (template) links to what. These will be deleted in the final wiki.
[P] = Primary article [link] = Link to primary article. No editing here, only edit the primary article [P]. [RD] = Redirect. From similar (sounding) articles. [Eq. to …] = Equivalent to ...

Managing a Moodle site [P]
This section is about managing things the entire site. It contains information about many features only Moodle Admin can manipulate but which may be of use to users, particularly teachers and administrative staff in various organisations (eg. managers), - useful as a reference point & see what Docs exists but make Moodle 2 relevant!
Basic structure of a Moodle site
create this, links nicely with glossary above; stuff like context, role, course, category etc but KEEP IT SIMPLE and use DIAGRAMS, examples Something along the lines of these slides. These will be very short, introductory, pointing to parts where we expand on each (eg. from 'Roles' to 'Roles and permissions' section
Context
Context - OU, Nov 09, 1.8 VI, update this, simplify, some info useful
Role [link -> 'Roles and permissions' section]
Category
M! We DON'T have a page dedicated to Categories yet! I suppose this one is IT -> Add/edit_course_categories - OU, Oct 10, some useful general info on categories, Admin but good for teacher to know what they are and how they work borrow from/link to

extract from Adding/editing_a_course, mention Settings block (new in Moodle 2), basics of editing, the turn edit on-change/create-set cycle...
Settings block

shown and described Adding/editing_a_course#Editing_a_course, M, no special page(s) on what each icon does or menu (eg. Add a resource...), would be useful. Include new items (eg. Ajax/Adv web button) not included at Adding/editing_a_course#Editing_a_course

Inspector_role - for providing external inspectors with permission to view all courses (without being required to enrol) Parent_role - for providing parents/mentors/tutors with permission to view certain information about their children/mentees/tutees [[[Useful_things_a_teacher_can_do_with_roles]] - GU, Oct 10, good collection, maybe add, link to example(s) Demo_teacher_role - for providing a demonstration teacher account with a password which can't be changed Forum_moderator_role - for providing a user with permission in a particular forum to edit or delete forum posts, split discussions and move discussions to other forums Calendar_editor_role - for enabling a user to add site or course events to the calendar [[Blogger_role] - for limiting blogging to specific users only (this changes in Moodle 2 and Blog Association...)
