Hacks, tips and tricks - Peter Evans, Technology Advocate, USQ
In this session, Peter discussed some common ways of tweaking Moodle courses to achieve particular effects.
- Ideas for dealing with Moodle's infamous scroll of death
- Teach students how to show one topic vs. all topics
- HTML image icon navigation at top
- Accordion course format (expandable weeks) - contributed module
- Communication
- A separate forum for each person (like a stored ticketing system as part of the unit) - why not use dialogue? (gives notification, message can be moved, thread structure can be changed, local admin needed for dialogue install)
- Getting people in
- Enrol guests in individual courses, then group these into meta-courses
- FAQs
- Establish a forum into which students cannot start new threads. Then start FAQ threads - to "force" them into using existing thread.
