FAQ Corsi

Attenzione: Pagina in costruzione

Come posso togliere i nomi dei Docenti dalle descrizioni dei miei corsi?

Per impostazione predefinita Moodle mostra i nomi dei Docenti nelle descrizioni dei corsi. Se si desidera eliminare i nomi, deselezionare il ruolo nell'impostazione Gestori dei corsi in Amministrazione del sito > Aspetto > Corsi.

Come posso aggiungere i nomi dei Docenti non editor alle descrizioni dei miei corsi?

Per impostazione predefinita Moodle mostra i nomi dei Docenti nelle descrizioni dei corsi. Se si desidera aggiungere altri ruoli, selezionare la casella del ruolo in Gestori dei corsi su Amministrazione del sito> Aspetto > Corsi.

Alcuni dei miei corsi presentano le sintesi dei corsi, ma alcuni hanno solo un'icona di informazioni. Perché?

Categories which have fewer than ten courses will show the full summary but those with more will only show the information icon. If you want them all to show the full summary then change the value of the Courses with summaries limit (courseswithsummarieslimit) setting in Site Administration > Appearance > Courses.

I can't upload files to my course. I get the message that my 'filetype cannot be accepted'

• Make sure you are not trying to upload to the course summary files area in the 'Edit settings' area of course administration.
• This upload area is only for files describing the course and by default only image files are allowed (so that a screenshot may be displayed next to the summary).
• If you wish to upload files into your course, make sure you are first on the main course page itself, not in the settings of the course.

How can I prevent teachers from being able to add a particular resource or activity?

From Site administration>Users>Permissions>Define roles, edit the teacher role and untick "allow" on the capability of the module you wish them not to add - for example mod/workshop:addinstance

I see two dropdown boxes instead of the Add an activity or resource link

• Check in your user preferences >Course preferences that you have 'Enable activity chooser 'ticked
• Check you have Ajax enabled - the link does not appear without Ajax enabled.

Why am I getting dates in the future on a course I have restored?

If you restored a course with user data but set the enrolment date for the present time, then logs, forum posts and so on will still be set at the same time distance from the start of the course. So if your original course began in 2010 and participants posted in a forum in 2012, then if you restore your course to begin in 2014, all those posts will have a date of 2016 on them. See MDL-44961

How can I make my course home page look more like a web page?

Often when a course has a lot of content, students and teachers find the long scrolling tedious and would prefer a 'neater' appearance with hyperlinks to sections in a similar way to the way pages on websites work.

See Stealth activities for information on how to do this in a Moodle course.

Where can I find a list of all course resources and activities?

You can find a list of resources (ie static pages and folders etc) here:

http://yourmoodlesite.net/course/resources.php?id=x where x is the course ID number.

If you wish to see the list of activities such as quizzes, then use a URL such as this http://yourmoodlesite.net/mod/quiz/index.php?id=x where x is the course ID number.

Change the activity name according to the activity you need to see listed.

Is there a shortcut URL to a course?

Try this using the course shortname: URL (Moodlesite)/course/view.php?name=shortname to navigate directly to a course.

Check out the tracker item for clean URLs: MDL-28030

What happens to my course content if I change the format from one format to another?

For standard course formats only: If you change from Topics to Weekly or Weekly to Topics, then the only real difference will be in the titles of the sections. If you change to Social format then you will just have a forum and if you still want access to your other activities you need to add the "Social activities block". If you change to the Single activity format you will only see the activity you chose to display, and your other activities will be hidden from students but available to you in a greyed out section. If you then revert back from Single activity to Topics or Weekly format you will need to un-hide those sections.

How can I move items easily on a course with lots of activities?

See the Tips and tricks section of Course homepage for a method allowing you to avoid scrolling issues when moving an activity or resource in a busy course.
