What is the Book resource?
Books allow teachers to create multi-page resources with a book-like format and table of contents. Multimedia may be embedded and books may be printed entirely or by chapter.
How is it set up?
- In a course, with the editing turned on, choose 'Book' from the activity chooser.
- Give it a name and, if required a description (which will appear on all chapters of the book), checking the box if you want the description displayed on the course page.
- In Appearance, decide on the chapter formatting, style of navigation and whether you want custom titles. Use the help icon for more information.
- Expand the other settings to configure the resource as you wish, and then click Save and display.
- Add content to your first chapter and save the changes. (Note: Moodle 'chapters' are what some might prefer to call 'pages.'
- From the Table of Contents (at the side or underneath the chapter) click the + icon to add another chapter, and repeat the process.
How does it work?
