== Creating a new page ==<br />
<br />
To create a new page, either type the page name between double square brackets <nowiki>[[page name]]</nowiki> OR you can select '''New''' from the Wiki menu PROVIDED if you have access to the Navigation block. <br />
<br />
=== Hint: ===<br />
The trick about using the Navigation block '''New''' option under your Wiki is that you will still need to copy and paste the name of the new page onto the immediate parent page and surround it with double brackets. This creates a link to your new page and makes it accessible from the main Wiki page.<br />
Otherwise nobody will recognise the so called lost new page.<br />
<br />
== Wiki editing in general ==<br />
<br />
Depending on the type of the wiki, there are several possibilities to edit the page.<br />
But don't worry: The best thing of a wiki is, that nothing is lost. The old version will be there - and if someone changes your version of the page - your version will also be there.<br />
<br />
== Markup language ==<br />
You miss all the formatting you know from other moodle activities?<br />
That's because the wiki-type of your wiki is e.g. nwiki.<br />
<br />
here are some markup hints from the early moodle 2.0 days: (nwiki promised to be close to [https://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Help:Editing mediawiki-markup])<br />
<br />
<nowiki>''Bold text''</nowiki><br />
<br />
<nowiki>'''Italic text'''</nowiki><br />
<br />

==Wiki Basics==<br />
<br />
Wikis are a simple, flexible tool for collaboration. They can be used for everything from simple lists of web links to building entire encyclopedias. Wikipedia is the largest wiki in the world (http://www.wikipedia.org). As of August 2007, Wikipedia contained over 2,000,000 articles in English alone, on everything from general topology to split infinitives. The entire Wikipedia site is written by volunteers from around the world. An article is started by someone with an interest in the subject, and then anyone in the community can add content, edit other people's work, or add another page elaborating on a sub-topic. It has become so large and so frequently used that there is a lively debate about how authoritative a collaborate work without a central editor can be. <br />
<br />
Of course, wikis in your own class won't be that extensive. But it's important to have a plan for your wiki before you release it to the class. Students need to know the purpose of the wiki and how it fits in with the class. If it's a personal wiki, will they be graded? Is it simply a staging area for group work that will be submitted later? Students need to know so they can submit appropriate work. A brainstorming wiki is very different from one that will be submitted for a grade. <br />
<br />
You'll also need to decide on an editing policy. Will you be a central editor? Or will you let the students be completely responsible for the work? How will you deal with offensive content? <br />
<br />
In most circumstances, you'll find that you can trust students. But on the rare occasion a student does do something offensive, you will need to have a policy to deal with it. Will you roll back the changes by that author? Or will you create a new version by deleting her content? Creating a new version leaves a trail you can use for evidence later, but it also makes it easier for the perpetrator to restore her comments.<br />
<br />
==Creative Wiki practices==<br />
<br />
The free-form, collaborative nature of wikis makes them easy to apply in creative ways. Any sort of group process can be facilitated using a wiki. For instance, a course may make use of many resources and have, as an aid to instructors, a wiki devoted to equipment located in several remote classrooms. The wiki's links to equipment and process pages can become useful in giving directions. The front page would then be organized differently than an individual teacher's page.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Group lecture notes===<br />
Usually, lecture notes are a solitary activity, but one person can easily miss an important point during a lecture through daydreaming or trying to understand a prior point. Students may also have difficulty deciding what information is important and what is elaboration or example. Creating a wiki for group lecture notes after a lecture gives students a chance to combine all their notes. Those that missed information can get it from their peers. The group can also decide what information is critical and give it proper emphasis. Group lecture notes could be done with the entire class, if it is small enough, or with small working groups. Groups can also compare notes for further discussion and refinement.<br />
<br />
===Group Project management===<br />
The most straightforward use of a wiki is as a tool for group collaboration for creating group projects. A teacher assigning a group project can give students a place to work by creating a wiki with the group mode enabled. This will give each group their own space to record research, to develop outlines and to create the final product. The teacher may create a submission date on which to turn off editing capabilities for students so that he or she can grade the final projects. Afterwards, the teacher may enable visible groups so that everyone can see each other's work.<br />
<br />
===Brainstorming===<br />
Brainstorming is a non-judgmental group creative process in which group members are encouraged to give voice to any ideas they personally consider relevant to the group exercise. In a face-to-face meeting, a brainstorming facilitator will usually stand in front of a big piece of paper and elicit ideas from the participants in the room. A teacher can create an online version of this process by setting up a wiki for the entire class or for smaller student groups and asking people to submit ideas around a brainstorming topic. People can add ideas as they occur and link to other pages for elaboration.<br />
<br />
===Contribute to other wikis===<br />
A teacher might assign his or her class the task of contributing to [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], [http://en.wikiversity.org Wikiversity], or to another wiki on the Web, on any class topic, perhaps by assigning students to groups (or making it a class project if the class is small enough and the topic broad enough) and challenging them to collaboratively create an article they would feel confident posting to a public-information space. Students will use the course wiki to create drafts of the article they will eventually publish to the community at the end of the semester.<br />
<br />
This type of assignment has a number of benefits:<br />
* It gives students additional motivation to do their best, since they know their work will be viewed and critiqued by the public instead of just by their instructor.<br />
* It can act as a summarizing activity for an entire semester’s worth of material.<br />
* Students will know their work will be used by other people, not just graded and filed away.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Language}}<br />
==Language pack installation==<br />
<br />
Over 90 language packs are available for an administrator to install on your Moodle site via ''Settings > Site administration > Language > Language packs''. Simply select the languages you require from the list of available language packs and click on the "Install selected language pack" button.<br />
<br />
Multiple language packs may be selected for install by holding down the Apple or Ctrl key whilst clicking on the language packs.<br />
<br />
Language packs are a work-in-progress, since new language strings are added for new features in each new version of Moodle. [https://download.moodle.org/langpack/2.7/ Language packs for Moodle 2.7] lists the percentage of language strings translated in each language pack.<br />
<br />
==Parent language packs==<br />
<br />
Certain language packs contain only the modified language strings from their parent language, rather than a complete set. Thus, it is necessary to install the parent language pack too. These language packs are:<br />
* de_du (which requires de)<br />
* es_mx and es_ar (which require es)<br />
* fr_ca (which requires fr)<br />
* en_us (which requires the default en)<br />
<br />
==Manual language pack installation==<br />
<br />
In general, the easiest way to install additional language packs is from within Moodle. However, it is also possible to install a language pack manually by downloading the zip file from [https://download.moodle.org/langpack/2.0/ Language packs for Moodle 2.0] and unzipping it to a directory called ''lang'' in your ''moodledata'' directory.<br />
<br />
==Language pack updates==<br />
<br />
To update installed language packs, except English and any local language packs, click the 'Update all installed language packs' button in ''Settings > Site administration > Language > Language packs''. The English language pack is updated automatically each time the site is upgraded.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Note:''' This page is for analysing and figuring out how best to reorganise Moodle Docs for 2.0 and beyond.<br />
<br />
<br />
The plan for each new stable version of Moodle is to copy the existing wiki to a new wiki for the new version. The version number will be included in the URL e.g. for the English documentation https://docs.moodle.org/2.0/en/, https://docs.moodle.org/2.1/en/ ...<br />
<br />
'Moodle Docs for this page' links at the bottom of each page in Moodle will link to the appropriate version of the documentation.<br />
<br />
The documentation will have a big table of contents and will no longer be separated into teacher and administrator documentation.<br />
<br />
Developer documentation will be kept in a separate non-version-specific wiki, as developer documentation is usually written about future versions of Moodle.<br />
<br />
==Documentation in different languages==<br />
<br />
There are currently Moodle Docs wikis in 28 different languages. The [https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AmamVlPpCnn4dE1CVmZlemgtLWNxSjZ2cDB3TzQwb1E&hl=en&authkey=CLyez8UP#gid=0 Moodle Docs review 2011] lists the number of pages and users for each wiki, plus information on recent changes.<br />
<br />
''Moodle Docs contributors, please consider which of the following options you think would be most appropriate for your language:''<br />
<br />
# Existing wiki copied to a new wiki for the new version of Moodle (as for the English wiki)<br />
# Continuation with existing wiki and mixing documentation for new versions of Moodle with documentation for older versions<br />
# Archive of existing wiki and 'Moodle Docs for this page' linking to the English documentation<br />
# Deletion of existing wiki<br />
<br />
The [https://docs.moodle.org/overview/ Moodle Docs overview] will be updated to provide links to all wikis, with headings such as '1.9 legacy documentation (may include 2.x docs mixed in)', ' 2.0 documentation', '2.1 documentation', ...<br />
<br />
For languages which choose to continue with the existing wiki, it will be moved to a new URL docs.moodle.org/1.9/xx/. 'Moodle Docs for this page' links in Moodle 2.0 and future versions will automatically redirect to the new URL.<br />
<br />
For wikis with no recent activity in the last 60 days, unless volunteers come forwards, the existing wiki will be archived. The archived wiki will be moved to a new URL such as docs.moodle.org/old/xx/. A link to the archived wiki will be included in the Moodle Docs overview page, however 'Moodle Docs for this page' links will no longer redirect to the archived wiki. Instead there will be redirects to the en wiki.<br />
<br />
For wikis with very few pages, wiki admins will be asked whether they would like the wiki to be deleted.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Courses}}<br />
A teacher can change course settings in ''Settings > Course administration > Edit settings''.<br />
<br />
==General==<br />
[[Image:generalsettings1.gif|thumb|General settings]]<br />
===Category===<br />
<br />
The site administrator may have created course categories to help teachers and students find their courses easily. Course categories may be reflected in the [[Navigation block]].<br />
<br />
The capability [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changecategory|moodle/course:changecategory]] controls whether a user can edit the course category.<br />
<br />
===Course full name===<br />
<br />
This is the name of the course. It is displayed as a link on course lists on the [[Front page]] and on [[My Moodle]] and in reports. It is also used in the browser title bar when the course is viewed.<br />
<br />
===Short name===<br />
Many institutions have a shorthand way of referring to a course, such as BP102 or COMMS. Even if you do not already have such a name for your course, make one up here. It will be used in several places where the long name is not appropriate, such as the Navigation block.<br />
<br />
The capability [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changeshortname|moodle/course:changeshortname]] controls whether a user can edit the short name field.<br />
<br />
{{Moodle 2.2}}By default, only course full names are displayed in the list of courses. However an administrator can enable short names to be displayed too if required by ticking the checkbox in ''Settings > Site administration > Appearance > Courses''.<br />
<br />
===ID number===<br />
The ID number is an alphanumeric field. It has several potential uses. Generally, it is not displayed to students. However, it can be used to match this course against an external system's ID, as your course catalogue ID or can be used in the certificate module as a printed field.<br />
<br />
The capability [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changeidnumber|moodle/course:changeidnumber]] controls whether a user can edit the ID number.<br />
<br />
===Course summary===<br />
<br />
The summary appears on the course listings page. This field is searched when searching for a course and also appears in the Course/Site description block.<br />
<br />
The capability [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changesummary|moodle/course:changesummary]] controls whether a user can edit the course summary.<br />
<br />
===Format===<br />
See [[Course formats]]<br />
<br />
===Number of weeks/topics===<br />
This setting is only used by the 'weekly' and 'topics' course formats. In the 'weekly' format, it specifies the number of weeks that the course will run for, starting from the course starting date. In the 'topics' format, it specifies the number of topics in the course. Both of these translate to the number of "boxes" or sections down the middle of the course page.<br />
<br />
If the number of weeks/topics is changed for an existing course so that the number is less than the number of course sections containing activities (for example the course contains activities in 3 sections and the number or weeks/topics is set to 2) then when editing is turned on section(s) at the bottom of the course page will be shown with the title 'Orphaned activities'.<br />
<br />
===Course start date===<br />
This setting affects the display of logs and the weekly format topic dates.<br />
<br />
If you use the "Weekly" course format, the start date will appear in the first section of the course. For example selecting 27 July, will display "27 July - 2 August" in the first section (when default display is selected for that section). <br />
<br />
This setting will have an effect on the display of logs. This will be the earliest possible date the log activity will display. <br />
<br />
This setting will '''not''' affect courses using the 'social' or 'topics' formats.<br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' If your institution runs on a weekly schedule, you may want to consider setting the start date for courses on the first day of the week, like a Monday. <br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' In general, if your course does not have a real starting date then set the date to yesterday and use the availability setting to reveal the course to students. <br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' See self enrolment course settings to prevent students from entering the course before a certain date/time.<br />
<br />
===Hidden sections===<br />
<br />
This option allows you to decide how the hidden sections in your course are displayed to students. By default, a small area is shown (in collapsed form, usually grey) to indicate where the hidden section is, though they still cannot actually see the hidden activities and texts. This is particularly useful in the Weekly format, so that non-class weeks are clear, or if you have quizzes you don't want your students to see.<br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' If you choose, these non-available items can be completely hidden, so that students do not even know that sections or an activity in the course are hidden.<br />
<br />
===News items to show===<br />
How many news items should show the [[Latest news block]]. Set it to 0 and Latest news block will not appear.<br />
<br />
The Latest News block relies on the use of the associated News Forum. News posted in other forums do not display in the latest News block<br />
<br />
===Show gradebook to students===<br />
Many of the activities allow [[Grades|grades]] to be set. By default, the results of all grades within the course can be seen in the Grades page, available from the main course page for students and teachers.<br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' If a teacher is not interested in using grades in a course, or just wants to hide grades from students, then they can disable the display of grades with this option. This does not prevent the teacher using or setting grades for an individual activities, it just disables the results from being displayed to students.<br />
<br />
===Show activity reports===<br />
[[Activity_report#Individual_Activity_Report|Activity reports]] are available to each student. These reports or logs show their activity and contributions in the current course. These reports include their detailed access log.<br />
<br />
Student access to their own reports is controlled by the teacher via this course setting. For some courses, these reports can be a useful tool for a student to reflect on their involvement and appearance within the online environment, but for some courses, this may not be necessary.<br />
<br />
Teachers always have access to these reports via a link in the navigation block.<br />
<br />
Your site administrator may ask you to turn this feature off. Showing activity reports can place a load on the server, slowing it down at times. For large or long classes it may be more efficient to keep it off.<br />
<br />
===Maximum upload size===<br />
[[Image:Changeupload.jpg|thumb|Maximum upload size setting]]<br />
This setting defines the largest size of file that can be uploaded by students in this course. The site administrator can determine [[Site_policies#Maximum_uploaded_file_sizefile |sizes available]] for the teacher to select. <br />
<br />
It is possible to further restrict this size through settings within each activity module.<br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' When uploading large files, consider that your students will need to download them to view them. <br />
<br />
===Force theme===<br />
If the site administrator has allowed the teacher to set a course [[Themes|theme]], this pull down menu will appear with a list of themes on the site. Teachers can use this to choose a different look for the course from the rest of the Moodle site.<br />
<br />
==Guest access==<br />
<br />
[[File:Guestaccess.png]]<br />
<br />
Allows any authenticated user (i.e. logged in) to access the course (as a [[Guest role|guest]]), including those who have logged in "as guest". You can choose if they need a password to enter the course or if they may enter without a password. This password is a password to the unit, not the users password to gain access to Moodle. <br />
<br />
People can log in as guests using the "Login as a guest" button on a login screen, where that feature is enabled for the site. When the user tries to enter a course, they will see the [[Log in|login screen]]. If you only need people authenticated via your normal authentication method to access courses (as Guest or not) it is probably wise to disable "Login as a guest" for a slight improvement in site security. See [[Manage authentication]].<br />
<br />
Guests in a course ALWAYS have "read-only" access - meaning they cannot leave any posts or otherwise mess up the course for real students. No user information is stored for a guest.<br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' This can be handy when you want to let a colleague in to look around at your work, or to let students see a course before they have decided to enrol.<br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' You have a choice between two types of guest access: with a password or without. If you choose to allow access for guests who have the password, then the guest will need to provide the current password EVERY TIME they log in (unlike students who only need to do it once). This lets you restrict your guests. If you choose to allow access to guests without a password, then anyone can get straight into your course.<br />
<br />
==Groups==<br />
[[Image:generalsettings6.gif|thumb|Groups settings]]<br />
===Group mode===<br />
Here you can define the [[Groups|group mode]] at the course level by a pull down menu. "[[Groups#No_groups|No groups]]", "[[Groups#Separate_groups|Separate groups]]" and "[[Groups#Visible_groups|Visible groups]]" are the choices. The selected setting will be the default group mode for all activities defined within that course. The group setting can affect what users see in the [[Participants]] list and who they can interact with in activities.<br />
<br />
===Force===<br />
If the group mode is "forced" at a course-level, then this particular group mode will be applied to every activity in that course. This will override any activities that may have a special group setting. <br />
<br />
:''TIP:''The force setting is useful when the teacher wants to set up a course and not have to change each activities group settings.<br />
<br />
===Default grouping===<br />
<br />
If [[Groupings|groupings]] are enabled, a default grouping for course activities and resources may be set.<br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' You may leave it set to "No groups" and still have specific activities use groups. In this case the force setting below should be set to "no". For example, the teacher can use a group setting to completely separate cohorts of students such that each group is unaware of the other in the course.<br />
<br />
==Availability==<br />
[[Image:Availability2.png]]<br />
<br />
This option allows you to "hide" your course completely. It will not appear on any course listings, except to teachers of the course and administrators. Even if students try to access the course URL directly, they will not be allowed to enter.<br />
<br />
==Language==<br />
[[Image:generalsettings8.gif|thumb|Language settings]]<br />
<br />
If you force a language in a course, the interface of Moodle in this course will be in this particular language, even if a student has selected a different preferred language in his/her personal profile.<br />
==Student progress==<br />
[[Student progress]] be enabled for [[Activity completion]]. [[Course completion]] criteria may also be based upon Activity completion values found in the activity's settings.<br />
<br />
*Completion tracking can be either Disabled, not shown in activity settings, or enabled.<br />
*You can enable starting the tracking upon student enrolment.<br />
<br />
==Role renaming==<br />
[[Image:rolesimages.gif|thumb|Role renaming settings]]<br />
You can rename the [[Roles|roles]] used in your course. For example, you may wish to rename the [[Teacher role]] as "Facilitator", "Tutor" or "Guide". These new role names will appear within the course. For example on the [[Participants|participants]] and the override permissions pages. <br />
<br />
Please note that the site administrator or a [[Course managers|course manager]] may have changed the names or added new roles. These names will appear and the teacher may rename them.<br />
<br />
:''Tip'': Do not worry about changing every role name. Only change the site roles which are used in your course. For example, you may want to ignore renaming roles such as the [[Administrator role]] or the [[Authenticated user role]].<br />
<br />
:''Tip'': To include new role names in a course backup, users should be included in the backup.<br />
<br />
== Site administration settings==<br />
<br />
An administrator can set course default settings in ''Settings > Site administration > Courses > Course default settings''.<br />
<br />
==Preventing teachers from editing course settings==<br />
<br />
Any/all of the following fields - course full name, short name, ID number and category, summary - may be locked to prevent teachers from editing them. To do so:<br />
<br />
#Access ''Site Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles''.<br />
#Click the edit icon opposite the teacher role.<br />
#Change any/all of the capabilities [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changefullname|moodle/course:changefullname]], [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changeshortname|moodle/course:changeshortname]], [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changeidnumber|moodle/course:changeidnumber]], [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changecategory|moodle/course:changecategory]], [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changesummary|moodle/course:changesummary]] from allow to not set.<br />

A teacher can change course settings in ''Settings > Course administration > Edit settings''.<br />
<br />
==General==<br />
[[Image:generalsettings1.gif|thumb|General settings]]<br />
===Category===<br />
<br />
The site administrator may have created course categories to help teachers and students find their courses easily. Course categories may be reflected in the [[Navigation block]].<br />
<br />
The capability [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changecategory|moodle/course:changecategory]] controls whether a user can edit the course category.<br />
<br />
===Course full name===<br />
<br />
This is the name of the course. It is displayed as a link on course lists on the [[Front page]] and on [[My Moodle]] and in reports. It is also used in the browser title bar when the course is viewed.<br />
<br />
===Short name===<br />
Many institutions have a shorthand way of referring to a course, such as BP102 or COMMS. Even if you do not already have such a name for your course, make one up here. It will be used in several places where the long name is not appropriate, such as the Navigation block.<br />
<br />
The capability [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changeshortname|moodle/course:changeshortname]] controls whether a user can edit the short name field.<br />
<br />
{{Moodle 2.2}}By default, only course full names are displayed in the list of courses. However an administrator can enable short names to be displayed too if required by ticking the checkbox in ''Settings > Site administration > Appearance > Courses''.<br />
<br />
===ID number===<br />
The ID number is an alphanumeric field. It has several potential uses. Generally, it is not displayed to students. However, it can be used to match this course against an external system's ID, as your course catalogue ID or can be used in the certificate module as a printed field.<br />
<br />
The capability [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changeidnumber|moodle/course:changeidnumber]] controls whether a user can edit the ID number.<br />
<br />
===Course summary===<br />
<br />
The summary appears on the course listings page. This field is searched when searching for a course and also appears in the Course/Site description block.<br />
<br />
The capability [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changesummary|moodle/course:changesummary]] controls whether a user can edit the course summary.<br />
<br />
===Format===<br />
See [[Course formats]]<br />
<br />
===Number of weeks/topics===<br />
This setting is only used by the 'weekly' and 'topics' course formats. In the 'weekly' format, it specifies the number of weeks that the course will run for, starting from the course starting date. In the 'topics' format, it specifies the number of topics in the course. Both of these translate to the number of "boxes" or sections down the middle of the course page.<br />
<br />

This does not prevent the teacher using or setting grades for an individual activities, it just disables the results from being displayed to students.<br />
<br />
===Show activity reports===<br />
[[Activity_report#Individual_Activity_Report|Activity reports]] are available to each student. These reports or logs show their activity and contributions in the current course. These reports include their detailed access log.<br />
<br />
Student access to their own reports is controlled by the teacher via this course setting. For some courses, these reports can be a useful tool for a student to reflect on their involvement and appearance within the online environment, but for some courses, this may not be necessary.<br />
<br />
Teachers always have access to these reports via a link in the navigation block.<br />
<br />
Your site administrator may ask you to turn this feature off. Showing activity reports can place a load on the server, slowing it down at times. For large or long classes it may be more efficient to keep it off.<br />
<br />
===Maximum upload size===<br />
[[Image:Changeupload.jpg|thumb|Maximum upload size setting]]<br />
This setting defines the largest size of file that can be uploaded by students in this course. The site administrator can determine [[Site_policies#Maximum_uploaded_file_sizefile |sizes available]] for the teacher to select. <br />
<br />
It is possible to further restrict this size through settings within each activity module.<br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' When uploading large files, consider that your students will need to download them to view them. <br />
<br />
===Force theme===<br />
If the site administrator has allowed the teacher to set a course [[Themes|theme]], this pull down menu will appear with a list of themes on the site. Teachers can use this to choose a different look for the course from the rest of the Moodle site.<br />
<br />
==Guest access==<br />
<br />
[[File:Guestaccess.png]]<br />
<br />
Allows any authenticated user (i.e. logged in) to access the course (as a [[Guest role|guest]]), including those who have logged in "as guest". You can choose if they need a password to enter the course or if they may enter without a password. This password is a password to the unit, not the users password to gain access to Moodle. <br />
<br />
People can log in as guests using the "Login as a guest" button on a login screen, where that feature is enabled for the site. When the user tries to enter a course, they will see the [[Log in|login screen]]. If you only need people authenticated via your normal authentication method to access courses (as Guest or not) it is probably wise to disable "Login as a guest" for a slight improvement in site security. See [[Manage authentication]].<br />
<br />
Guests in a course ALWAYS have "read-only" access - meaning they cannot leave any posts or otherwise mess up the course for real students. No user information is stored for a guest.<br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' This can be handy when you want to let a colleague in to look around at your work, or to let students see a course before they have decided to enrol.<br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' You have a choice between two types of guest access: with a password or without. If you choose to allow access for guests who have the password, then the guest will need to provide the current password EVERY TIME they log in (unlike students who only need to do it once). This lets you restrict your guests. If you choose to allow access to guests without a password, then anyone can get straight into your course.<br />
<br />
==Groups==<br />
[[Image:generalsettings6.gif|thumb|Groups settings]]<br />
===Group mode===<br />
Here you can define the [[Groups|group mode]] at the course level by a pull down menu. "[[Groups#No_groups|No groups]]", "[[Groups#Separate_groups|Separate groups]]" and "[[Groups#Visible_groups|Visible groups]]" are the choices. The selected setting will be the default group mode for all activities defined within that course. The group setting can affect what users see in the [[Participants]] list and who they can interact with in activities.<br />
<br />
===Force===<br />
If the group mode is "forced" at a course-level, then this particular group mode will be applied to every activity in that course. This will override any activities that may have a special group setting. <br />
<br />
:''TIP:''The force setting is useful when the teacher wants to set up a course and not have to change each activities group settings.<br />
<br />
===Default grouping===<br />
<br />
If [[Groupings|groupings]] are enabled, a default grouping for course activities and resources may be set.<br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' You may leave it set to "No groups" and still have specific activities use groups. In this case the force setting below should be set to "no". For example, the teacher can use a group setting to completely separate cohorts of students such that each group is unaware of the other in the course.<br />
<br />
==Availability==<br />
[[Image:Availability2.png]]<br />
<br />
This option allows you to "hide" your course completely. It will not appear on any course listings, except to teachers of the course and administrators. Even if students try to access the course URL directly, they will not be allowed to enter.<br />
<br />
==Language==<br />
[[Image:generalsettings8.gif|thumb|Language settings]]<br />
<br />
If you force a language in a course, the interface of Moodle in this course will be in this particular language, even if a student has selected a different preferred language in his/her personal profile.<br />
==Student progress==<br />
[[Student progress]] be enabled for [[Activity completion]]. [[Course completion]] criteria may also be based upon Activity completion values found in the activity's settings.<br />
<br />
*Completion tracking can be either Disabled, not shown in activity settings, or enabled.<br />
*You can enable starting the tracking upon student enrolment.<br />
<br />
==Role renaming==<br />
[[Image:rolesimages.gif|thumb|Role renaming settings]]<br />
You can rename the [[Roles|roles]] used in your course. For example, you may wish to rename the [[Teacher role]] as "Facilitator", "Tutor" or "Guide". These new role names will appear within the course. For example on the [[Participants|participants]] and the override permissions pages. <br />
<br />
Please note that the site administrator or a [[Course managers|course manager]] may have changed the names or added new roles. These names will appear and the teacher may rename them.<br />
<br />
:''Tip'': Do not worry about changing every role name. Only change the site roles which are used in your course. For example, you may want to ignore renaming roles such as the [[Administrator role]] or the [[Authenticated user role]].<br />
<br />
:''Tip'': To include new role names in a course backup, users should be included in the backup.<br />
<br />
== Site administration settings==<br />
<br />
An administrator can set course default settings in ''Settings > Site administration > Courses > Course default settings''.<br />
<br />
==Preventing teachers from editing course settings==<br />
<br />
Any/all of the following fields - course full name, short name, ID number and category, summary - may be locked to prevent teachers from editing them. To do so:<br />
<br />
#Access ''Site Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles''.<br />
#Click the edit icon opposite the teacher role.<br />
#Change any/all of the capabilities [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changefullname|moodle/course:changefullname]], [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changeshortname|moodle/course:changeshortname]], [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changeidnumber|moodle/course:changeidnumber]], [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changecategory|moodle/course:changecategory]], [[Capabilities/moodle/course:changesummary|moodle/course:changesummary]] from allow to not set.<br />
#Click the "Save changes" button at the bottom of the page.<br />

<br />
==Updating Your Profile ==<br />
<br />
The fields are divided into 3 sections - General, Picture & Optional which are all explained below. Note that some settings are 'advanced', so you may need to click the 'Show Advanced' button on the right to see all the settings. The advanced settings are indicated below.<br />
<br />
Remember to click 'Update profile' when you have finished.<br />
<br />
=== General ===<br />
<br />
The first section contains fields that must be completed:<br />
<br />
'''First name & Surname'''<br />
<br />
These are self-explanatory. These names will identify you everywhere in your Moodle courses.<br />
<br />
'''Email address'''<br />
<br />
The email address should be an address that you check regularly. It is used for acknowledgements and announcements from Moodle, including messages from Forums that you are subscribed to. It is also the address that is displayed to other users of Moodle, depending on your 'Email display' setting (below).<br />
<br />
'''Email display'''<br />
<br />
This controls the visibility of your email address to others. The three settings are self-explanatory but please note 'Hide my email address from everyone' only hides it from students. Teaching staff and other staff with editing access will always be able to see your email address.<br />
<br />
'''Email activated'''<br />
<br />
You can either enable or disable emails being sent to an address. Note that if this is disabled, you will not receive any email whatsoever from the site. This is not recommend, as you may miss important course-related messages.<br />
<br />
'''Email format (advanced)'''<br />
<br />
There are two formats: "Pretty HTML format" (messages will be formatted) and "Plain text format" (plain text with no formatting).<br />
<br />
'''Email digest type (advanced)'''<br />
<br />
This setting determines how you receive any posts from Forums to which you are subscribed, allowing you to receive messages individually or on a daily basis.<br />
<br />
'''Forum auto-subscribe (advanced)'''<br />
<br />
This setting lets you decide if you want email copies of posts that are added to forums. If you set this to subscribe, the system will automatically email you copies of new posts in forums that you post in, unless you manually override it when posting.<br />
<br />
'''Forum tracking (advanced)'''<br />
<br />
Enabling forum tracking means highlighting the posts you have not read yet, which should improve your forum navigation.<br />
<br />
'''When editing text (advanced)'''<br />
<br />
This can usually be left on "Use HTML editor (some browsers only)". This allows for text formatting options, but requires newer browsers. If you find your browser is not letting you edit text, change this setting to "Use standard web forms".<br />
<br />
'''AJAX and JavaScript (advanced)'''<br />
<br />
This determines whether the Moodle interface will use advanced navigation features such as drag-and-drop, that require AJAX and JavaScript to function. These features can cause problems on some browsers so you might prefer to turn them off.<br />
<br />
'''Screen Reader (advanced)'''<br />
<br />
If you use a screen reader, this setting should be set to 'Yes'. (A screen reader is a form of 'assistive technology' used by blind and partially-sighted users to interpret what is displayed on the screen).<br />
<br />
The screenreader variable is used in:<br />
<br />
* /mod/chat/ - if screenreader is enable, chat window will be set to use gui_basic<br />
* /mod/course/report/progress/ - check for svg to rotate text<br />
* /admin/mnet/mnet_themes.html - use to ignore or print theme images<br />
* /user/ - set the value for screenreader<br />
* /grade/report/grader/ - use to set fixed layout<br />
* /question/type/multianswer/ - used to print feedback icon and print an gap icon for question (MDL-7497)<br />
<br />
'''City/town & Country'''<br />
<br />
Add your location.<br />
<br />
'''Timezone'''<br />
<br />
This field is used to convert time-related messages on the system (such as assignment deadlines) from the local timezone (the time in London) to the correct time in whichever zone you have selected.<br />
<br />
'''Preferred language and theme (advanced)'''<br />
<br />
You can view Moodle in several different languages and colour themes, which you can select via these two options. Note: changing the preferred language only affects the Moodle interface, not the course content!<br />
<br />
'''Description'''<br />
<br />
In this field you can enter some text about yourself, be it information about your studies, hobbies, qualifications or anything else.<br />
<br />
=== Picture ===<br />
<br />
This section is optional and allows you to choose your own profile picture. Your current picture is shown, if you have already chosen one.<br />
<br />
'''New picture'''<br />
<br />
The Browse button allows you to choose a new picture for your profile. The picture must be in JPG or PNG format (ie the names will usually end in .jpg or .png).<br />
<br />
To upload the image, click the "Browse" button on this editing page, and select the image from your hard disk.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Make sure that the file is not larger than the maximum size listed, or it will not be uploaded.<br />
<br />
Then click "Update my Profile" at the bottom - the image file will be cropped to a square and resized down to 100x100 pixels.<br />
<br />
When you are taken back to your profile page, the image might not appear to have changed. If this is so, just use the "Reload" button in your browser.<br />
<br />
=== Optional ===<br />
<br />
There are several optional fields (all advanced) allowing you to add further details to your profile such as contact details and your website.<br />
<br />
===Custom Profile Categories===<br />
If any custom user profile categories and fields have been created on your Moodle site, they will be listed at the bottom of the [[User profile fields|Admin >Accounts>User profile fields]]<br />
<br />
==Adding a new user==<br />
<br />
The add a new user page allows you to manually create a new user account. If you create a test account, you can use a made-up email address.<br />
<br />
The required field must be entered before the user will be accepted by Moodle. The required fields in a standard Moodle install are: Username, New password, Surname, Email address, City/town, Select a country.<br />
<br />
Validity checks on the required field are performed. For example, usernames can only contain alphabetical letters in lowercase, numbers, hypen '-', underscore '_', period '.', or at sign '@'. So username of joe_smith, joe.smith and joesmith123@myisp.com are permissible; however, username for JohnSmith is not permissible. The email address should be in the format of a valid email (for example, joe.smith@myisp.com). If password complexity requirements are enabled by the site administrator, the new password field is also checked to ensure it complies with those requirements. See [[admin/setting/sitepolicies#Password_policy|Password policy]] for more information.<br />
<br />
Other fields that are part of a user's profile can also be filled out when the user is created. Some of the profile fields can be revealed by pressing the "Show Advanced" button.<br />
<br />
The new user information is saved by pressing the "Update user" button near the bottom of the form.<br />
<br />
Note: You can always create new accounts manually, regardless of which [[Authentication|authentication method]] you are using.<br />
<br />
==Updating a user profile==<br />
<br />
Users with the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/user:update|moodle/user:update]] are able to update another user's profile i.e. in addition to being able to edit the profile, all settings (username, password, authentication method, force new password etc.) may be changed.<br />
<br />
==Account disabling==<br />
<br />
An account may be disabled by setting the authentication method to "[[No login]]". The account email may not be used to create another account.<br />

Validity checks on the required field are performed. For example, usernames can only contain alphabetical letters in lowercase, numbers, hypen '-', underscore '_', period '.', or at sign '@'. So username of joe_smith, joe.smith and joesmith123@myisp.com are permissible; however, username for JohnSmith is not permissible. The email address should be in the format of a valid email (for example, joe.smith@myisp.com). If password complexity requirements are enabled by the site administrator, the new password field is also checked to ensure it complies with those requirements. See [[admin/setting/sitepolicies#Password_policy|Password policy]] for more information.<br />
<br />
Other fields that are part of a user's profile can also be filled out when the user is created. Some of the profile fields can be revealed by pressing the "Show Advanced" button.<br />
<br />
The new user information is saved by pressing the "Update user" button near the bottom of the form.<br />
<br />
Note: You can always create new accounts manually, regardless of which [[Authentication|authentication method]] you are using.<br />
<br />
==Updating a user profile==<br />
<br />
Users with the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/user:update|moodle/user:update]] are able to update another user's profile i.e. in addition to being able to edit the profile, all settings (username, password, authentication method, force new password etc.) may be changed.<br />
<br />
==Account disabling==<br />
<br />
An account may be disabled by setting the authentication method to "[[No login]]". The account email may not be used to create another account.<br />

<div>==About unicode==<br />
<br />
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode Unicode] is a character set that allows one to represent practically any language and many special characters used in science, math and technology. [[UTF-8]] is a specific encoding of Unicode used by many applications. Moodle uses UTF-8 encoding to be able to support different languages. Support was added in 1.6 and was made mandatory from 1.8 onwards.<br />
<br />
Prior to 1.6, Moodle did not support UTF-8 across all languages and the encoding in which the data was stored in the database depended upon the language used in a particular course.<br />
<br />
===Unicode collation===<br />
In MySQL, the database collation has to be set to unicode before the Moodle database is created. There are two different Unicode collations used: utf8_general_ci (default) and utf8_unicode_ci. The utf8_general_ci collation is slightly faster but less accurate than the utf8_unicode_ci collation in representing all the characters in languages. For this reason, Moodle tables are normally set-up using the utf8_unicode_ci collation. For a discussion of the difference between the collations see [http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/charset-unicode-sets.html the MySQL documentation].<br />
<br />
[http://www-atm.physics.ox.ac.uk/user/iwi/charmap.html Free On-line Unicode Character Map] gives you the possibility to see the different characters that are supported (or NOT!) in your browser and see which code is used if you need that. A nice feature with the characters is that you can easily enlarge the text in your browser to see them better. ([Ctrl]+[+] in Mozilla) If you are interested in Math symbols check list "22 Mathematical Operators". For Chemists looking for arrows, list "21" might be interesting.<br />
<br />
[http://www.catalysoft.com/catalog/unicode-1-1.jar Free offline java application], you must have java (ordinary, doesn't need the development environment) installed on your computer. Click on the JAR file. Chose Insert symbol, a popup with a list of categories comes, like "arrows" (but it doesn't have the group numbers).<br />
<br />
===Tex===<br />
Moodle has good support for mathematical expressions in its [[TeX filter]], but using Unicode instead can sometimes be good. In some places (e.g. [[Cloze|CLOZE]] questions) the \ characters for TeX can cause problems, whereas Unicode characters won't. A user can enlarge an expression with Unicode. Things that are displayed in a dropdown list won't display TeX but can contain Unicode math symbols.<br />
<br />
==Migrating to unicode==<br />
From Moodle 1.8 onwards, a database migration utility is no longer included. There is however a [[https://docs.moodle.org/en/Converting_your_MySQL_database_to_UTF8 manual process to migrate your database ]].<br />
<br />
From Moodle 1.6 onwards, all language packs are converted to UTF-8 and different languages may be used on the same page. Moodle 1.6 and 1.7 include a utility to migrate your database from any encoding to UTF-8.<br />
<br />
Thus, if you wish to upgrade from 1.5 or an earlier version, ''you must first upgrade to 1.6 or 1.7'', migrate your database to UTF-8, and then upgrade to 1.8. Similarly, if you are using Moodle 1.6 or 1.7 and have not yet migrated your database, you need to do so before upgrading to 1.8. Please refer to [[Upgrading to Moodle 1.6]] for additional information.<br />

<div>The Internationalization extension (Intl) is a wrapper for the ICU library, a set of C/C++ and Java libraries that provide Unicode and Globalization support for software applications. It enables PHP programmers to perform UCA-conformant collation and date/time/number/currency formatting in their scripts.<br />
<br />
==MS Windows==<br />
<br />
To enable this extension add the following line to your php.ini file usually found in /php:<br />
<br />
<code><br />
extension=php_intl.dll<br />
</code><br />
<br />
And then set the ''intl.default_locale'' and ''intl.error_level'' directives in your php.ini file.<br />
<br />
<code><br />
[intl]<br />
<br />
intl.default_locale = en_utf8<br />
<br />
intl.error_level = E_WARNING<br />
</code><br />
<br />
The ''intl.error_level'' directive is optional.<br />
<br />
==Other operating systems==<br />
<br />
Use system package manager or specify compilation flag.<br />
<br />
*Debian 5.0 (& Ubuntu) use: '''apt-get install php-intl''' or '''apt-get install php5-intl'''<br />
<br />
*CentOS 5.5 (& RedHat) you should (probably) be using [[php 5.3 from remi]] and then use: '''yum install php-intl'''<br />
