Cttxg: adding information to auto-linked page

== Additional HTML ==

These settings allow you to specify HTML that you want added to every page without altering the Moodle code files.

You can add HTML will be added within the HEAD tag for the page, immediately after the BODY tag has been opened, or immediately before the body tag is closed.

Doing this allows you add custom headers or footers on every page, or add support for services like Google Analytics very easily and independent of your chosen theme.

Dialogue module

2011-10-31T20:11:11Z

Cttxg: /* Module History */ adding 2011 2.0x support

'''Dialogues''' allow students or teachers to start two-way dialogues with another person. They are course activities that can be useful when the teacher wants a place to give private feedback to a student on their online activity. For example, if a student is participating in a language forum and made a grammatical error that the teacher wants to point out without embarassing the student, a dialogue is the perfect place. A dialogue activity would also be an excellent way for counsellors within an institution to interact with students - all activities are logged and email is not necessarily required.

Dialogue is a contributed activity module originally released for Moodle 1.6.x. and subsequently updated for Moodle 1.8.x to support roles and capabilities and most recently updated to support Moodle 1.9.x, 2.0x and Groupings (groups of groups)

==Features==
* Teachers can initiate private Dialogues between themselves and individual students
* Teachers can initiate individual Dialogues with all members of a group at one time
* Users can attach documents to their dialogue posts
* Students can view a time-stamped history of interaction between themselves and their teachers / tutors within the context of papers.
* Teachers and Students can view time-stamped histories of the interaction between them. Teachers can additionally view interaction histories with all students within a particular paper.
* Users can receive notification of new Dialogue posts via e-mail subscription
* Students can edit Dialogue posts within a specified period of time (30min default).

==Settings==
[[Image:DialogueSettings.gif|thumb|Dialogue Settings]]
* Type of dialogue can be set to Teacher-Student, Student-Student, Anyone-Anyone
* Ability for Students (or any role) to initiate a Dialogue can be managed in the activity role overrides
* Can configure whether a Dialogue activity should allow more than one Dialogue between any two participants
* Can enable/disable email notification
* Can set the number of days after which a closed Dialogue will be removed
* Admin setting at site-level to control display of unread dialog count on course pages

==Roles/Capabilities==
The following capabilities are able to be assigned/set against site wide roles and overridden in your local Dialogue instances:
* mod/dialogue:open
* mod/dialogue:close
* mod/dialogue:manage
* mod/dialogue:viewall - allow users to have read access to dialogues which they are not a participant
* mod/dialogue:participate
* mod/dialogue:participateany - allows users to participate in dialogues that are not initiated with themselves

==Tips and tricks==
*When students initially enroll on a site, it might be a good idea to send them a welcome dialogue to let them know the teacher is there. This way if the student has something to say to the teacher, they will feel more comfortable responding, since the teacher made the first step.

==Module History==
* 2003/Oct - Ray Kingdon released the original module
* 2004/Jun - Dialogues with groups of students were supported
* 2006/Apr - Howard Miller (aka thepurpleblob) University of Glasgow, contributed fixes to bring Dialogue in line w v1.6
* 2006/Aug - Howard Miller volunteered to maintain the module. At the time he mentioned Messaging was the mechanism MartinD saw as the tool the core project would be supporting for this sort of activity, and that Dialogue was never actually intended to be anything other than an optional module.
* 2007/May - Clinton Graham provided a diff to get Dialogue running with roles in v1.8
* 2007 - Catalyst integrated group support allowing allocation of groups (or groupings) to specific activities.
* 2007/Aug - University of Waikato contract Catalyst to update Dialogue module to support v1.9 and make a number of feature changes
* 2008/Aug - Reinstated dialogue type selector, various bug fixes (Enrique,Clinton,Lorenzo & Dean)
* 2009/Feb - Improvements to student-to-student mode and all-participants selection for teachers (Dean)
* 2009/Mar - Reintroduced unread entries tracking, and validation fix on edittime field (Dean)
* 2009/Aug - Multiple fixes and improvements (Dean. With lots of contributed code/inspiration here from Enrique Castro)
** fixed bug re lost HTML formatting (see: CONTRIB-1448)
** sorting columns by name, date, post count etc (see: CONTRIB-1449)
** improved group-mode support (see: CONTRIB-1490)
** added participation report support (see: CONTRIB-1454)
** change to view current conversation after update rather than go back to list (see: CONTRIB-1455)
** lots of codeing/style improvments, thanx Petr :) (see: CONTRIB-1216)
* 2011/Oct - Troy Williams updated to support v2.0x

== Possible Future Developments ==
Following is a list of future developments (in priority order). Please feel free to [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=126340 discuss these developments] and vote for these if you feel the priority order is not quite right. We also ask that you add to this list:

CONTRIB-1450 Email Notifications includes:
* Option to send immediately (rather than wait 30 mins)
* Option to include the dialogue message content in the email notification

CONTRIB-1451 Change to entry header to include user's name & increase font
* Instead of "On Friday, 1 June 2009, 05:43 pm you wrote: ", would it be better that the name is displayed instead, if the dialogue was exported and archived and the people who are reading it would not know the "you" is referring to who.

CONTRIB-1452 Close conversations for unenrolled students & display date
* Close Dialogue conversations when students are unenrolled
* Display the date that the individual dialogue was closed. the last entry date is good, but sometimes the close date is not always the last entry date.
* Display the date that the closed dialogue would be removed.

CONTRIB-1453 Provide edit & delete for Manage capability (similar to forums) 

'''Other requests with no tracker items created''' - see page Page Comments for more details
* Let the user specified the end date for the closed dialogue to be removed. Which I think it would be more flexible rather than the 7, 30,...,365 days options.
* Export entries (what format - Text, Html, xml??)
* Display the date that the dialogue was added
* Don't display the "You have 30 mins to edit..." after submit, instead the user should be bought to the current dialogue and allowed to edit it even if it has passed 30mins limit.

Cttxg: adding info re default section name and an image

The very top of your course (the General section) and every topic or week contains a summary. This is a default label which allows you to place information about the specific topic or week. It could be an introduction to the unit of study or a short summary of the weekly plan. Activities and resources are listed below this section.

Because the information you add to the summary appears as a label, it should be very short so that the course page doesn't become too long. If you find yourself wanting to say more than a sentence or two then consider adding a resource to this topic instead (for example, the first activity might be a page called About This Topic).

To provide a custom section title in the Navigation menu untick the "Use default section name" and include the title in the 'Section Name' text box. If you leave the default section name the navigation menu will contain 'General' for the general section and either 'Topic 1', 'Topic 2', etc for Topics format or the Week dates for Weekly format.

The settings block is new to Moodle 2.0. It can be found on most pages in the left column. It is composed of links to sub menus. When the link is clicked the sub menu expands below it.

Many of the sub menus have the same functions as older versions of Moodle.

What appears in the setting block depends upon the [[Context]] (Page being shown and user's permissions). For example, the site administrator will notice the Front Page settings block has fewer options than the Course settings block.

Here are two unexpanded examples of the settings block:

Creating a course

2011-09-08T03:58:14Z

Cttxg: /* Activity modules */

{{Creating a course}}
{{Improve}}

Essentially the heart of a Moodle course is usually divided into sections (Topics or Weeks). The course creation process consists of
#Planning the layout, activities and resources which will best meet the course goals
#Naming sections
#Adding [[Resources]] and [[Activities]] to the sections
#Editing or adding [[Blocks]].
#Testing the course as a student

==Getting started==
First, you will need to [[Log in]] to Moodle, be enrolled in a course in a [[Teacher]]'s [[Roles|role]] and then you can start to use most of the features below. We have some tips if you are having [[Can not log in|trouble logging in]]. Now on to some details, we will have lots of embedded links in the text.

The initial[[Course homepage|course homepage]] is broken down into [[Course sections]]. Teachers build their course by [[Adding resources and activities|adding resources, activities]] and [[Blocks]] to .

[[File:New Moodle Course 2 1.JPG|thumb|center|400px|A new, empty Moodle course on the demo.moodle.org site]]

The example above, a teacher is looking at a new course in edit mode. It has 5 topic sections in the center and there are blocks on both sides of the center column. The sections are empty. The teacher can add resources and activities to the sections, blocks on either side can be deleted, moved or new ones added. Each Moodle site's new course may look different but the elements of activities, resources and block will be there.

==Editing a course==
[[File:Turn editing on button.JPG|left]] 
To add or alter activities or resources a teacher will need to [[Turn editing on|"turn editing on"]] and off with a button on the course homepage. There is also a "Turn editing on" link in the ''Settings > Course administration block''. These buttons and links toggle between on and off.

Note: writing text in Moodle you have a range of [[Formatting options]] including using [[HTML in Moodle]].

===Common editing icons===
When editing is on you will see the following icons:

:[[Image:Edit.gif]] - the edit icon lets you alter/update whatever resource or activity it is next to by taking you to its setup page.

:[[Image:Copy_icon.gif]] - the duplicate icon lets you make a copy of that resource or activity.

:[[Image:Help.gif]] - the help icon will pop-up a relevant help window.

:[[Image:Open.gif]] - the open-eye icon means an item is visible to students. Clicking it will make the item invisible to participants and change the icon to the closed eye.

:[[Image:Closed.gif]] - the closed-eye icon means an item is hidden from students. Clicking it will make the item visible to participants and change the icon to the open eye.

:[[Image:Roles_icon.gif]] - the assign roles icon, jumps to locally assigned roles for the activity.

:[[Image:Right.gif]] - the left icon is used to outdent course elements. There is also a right icon for indenting items.

:[[Image:Move.gif]] - the move icon allows course elements to be moved up or down throughout the course.

:[[Image:Movehere.gif]] - the move here icon appears when moving a course element. It appears only after you've clicked the move icon, and indicates the destination of the item you're moving.

:[[Image:Delete.gif]] - the delete icon will permanently delete something from the course after you confirm a warning on a second page.

:[[Image:Marker.gif]] - the marker icon allows you to make a section current.

:[[Image:One.gif]] - the one icon hides all other sections of the course, showing only this one.

:[[Image:All.gif]] - the all icon redisplays all sections in a course.

==Activity modules==

[[Image:Activity_dropdown.JPG|frame|right|Add an activity drop-down menu]]
There are a number of interactive learning [[Activity | activity modules]] that you may [[Adding_resources_and_activities | add to your course]].

Communication and collaboration may take place using [[Chats]] and [[Forums]] for conversational activities and [[Choices]] to gain group feedback. Adding [[Wikis]] to your courses is an excellent way to allow students to work together on a single piece.

Work can be submitted by students and marked by teachers using [[Assignments]] or [[Workshops]]. Automatic marking can be achieved by using [[Quizzes]]. You can even integrate your Hot Potato quizzes by adding a [[Hotpot]] activity.

Content may be delivered and supported using [[Lesson module]] and [[SCORM]] activities. Key words can be added to [[Glossaries]] by yourself or, if you allow it, your students.

[[Surveys]] and [[Database module|Databases]] are also very powerful additions to any course.

If all of that isn't enough for you then you can also add contributed modules that are not part of the official Moodle release!

==Resources==

[[File:Resources add a menu 20.JPG|frame|left|Add a resource drop-down menu]]

Moodle supports a range of different [[Resources|resource types]] that allow you to include almost any kind of digital content into your courses. These are added with the "Add a resource" dropdown box when editing is turned on.

Adding a [[File]], [[Folder]], [[IMS content package]] or [[URL]] resource may lead to the [[File picker]] when you add content. This will allow you to use existing files located in [[Repositories]] or upload a new resource.

==Blocks==
Each course homepage generally contains blocks on the left and right with the centre column containing the course content. Blocks may be added, hidden, deleted, and moved up, down and left/right when editing is turned on. Examples of blocks can be see in the Getting Starting image above. "Latest News", "Upcoming Events", and "Recent Activity" are blocks.

A [[Blocks (teacher)|wide range of blocks]] exist that can provide additional information or functionality to the learner or teacher. There are both standard blocks that come with Moodle and many contributed blocks developed by Moodlers that an administrator can add to a Moodle site.

The teacher will have a [[Settings block]] and a [[Navigation block]] that sometimes share common pages via their submenu links. Both these block's menu system will change depending upon [[Context]] (what is being done at the moment). Most of our instructions will use the Settings block's menu system.

===Course administration===
[[File:Settings block course administration.JPG|thumb|Settings block, teacher's view|150px|left]]The Course administration menu allows teachers to Edit course settings, manage users( for example [[Students | student]] and [[Teachers | teacher]] enrollments and [[Groups | groups]]), view the course [[Grades]] menu, and access the [[Teacher_forum]]. Some teachers will find the [[Course_backup | backup]], [[Restore]], [[Import_course_data | Import (course data)]] and [[Reset course]] links are handy tools when creating similar courses. Naturally a teacher will want to look at [[Grades#Viewing_Grades | Grades]] and the [[Question bank |question bank]] database, used in [[Quiz | quizzes]]/tests or in the [[Lesson module]].

The links in the Course administration block are only available to teachers of the course. Students will receive their own version of the Settings block which will display a link to their own gradebook and, if enabled, their own course logs. As a teacher, you can change the way students (and other teachers) access and view your course by exploring the [[Course_settings|Edit settings]] option in the Course administration menu.

==General advice==

* Subscribe yourself to all of the [[forum]]s in your course so that you can keep in touch with your class activity.
* Encourage all of the students to fill out their [[Edit profile|user profile]] (including photos) and read them all - this will help provide some context to their later writings and help you to respond in ways that are tailored to their own needs.
* Keep notes to yourself in the private [[Teacher_forum | "Teacher's Forum"]]. This is especially useful when team teaching.
* Use the [[Logs]] link to get access different student activity reports such as Live logs and course Statistics. For example, Live logs is a popup window that updates every sixty seconds and shows the last hour of activity in your course. This is useful to keep open on your desktop all day so you can feel in touch with what's going on in the course.
* Use the [[Recent_activity|Activity Reports]] (next to each name in the list of all people, or from any user profile page). These provide a great way to see what any particular person has been up to in the course.
* Respond quickly to students. Don't leave it for later - do it right away. Not only is it easy to become overwhelmed with the volume that can be generated, but it's a crucial part of building and maintaining a community feel in your course.
* Don't be afraid to experiment: feel free to poke around and change things. It's hard to break anything in a Moodle course, and even if you do it's usually easy to fix it.
* Use the [[Navigation bar|navigation bar]] at the top of each page - this should help remind you where you are and prevent getting lost

{{Managing a Moodle course}}
'''Please refer to [[TOC_with_notes#Managing a Moodle course|these notes]] before editing this page.'''

A course is usually composed of [[Course_sections | sections]] called [[Course_sections#Weekly_format | weeks]] or [[Course_sections#Topic_format | topics]], but it also has special [[Blocks (teacher)| blocks]] which can be added to the [[Course_homepage | home page]] of the course. Typically courses are created by either someone who has Moodle [[Administrator]] or [[Course creator]] privileges. Users with [[Teacher]] rights for a course can edit or add items to that course, as can the administrator and course creator.

Moodle is very robust and can be used in a wide variety of educational, [[Trainer|training]] and informational settings. Often there many ways a course might be constructed. Have fun determining how Moodle will meet your needs.

The purpose of this page is to provide additional links for the new user.

{{Moodle site - basic structure}}
My Moodle is a customizable "dashboard" page for providing users with links to their courses and activities within them, such as unread forum posts and upcoming assignments.

==The My Moodle (or My home) page==

The '''My Moodle''' page is available for all users via the Navigation block. This page displays the courses that a user is associated with and allows them to customise the page blocks to show information relevant for them.

Students see a list of assessment activities due for the paper along with the due date and an indication if they have submitted or not. Teachers see the assessment activities and the due date only.

==Admin Options==
Administrators can set a default (and optionally force) site-wide layouts for My Moodle(via Site administration > Appearance > Default My Moodle page).

The My Moodle page can be given more prominence when set as the main "home page" for users. Administrators can set the default home page for users to either the Site Home page, The My Moodle page or allow users to choose their preference (via Site administration > Appearance > Navigation).

My Moodle is one of the pages in Moodle that allow blocks to be placed in the middle column by default (this is a theme option).
