<div>{{Course admin}}<br />
A course can be saved with some or all of its parts by using the course backup. Typically, the site administrator will set a schedule of site wide backup for all courses. A teacher with editing privileges can create a backup or download an existing backup for safe keeping, or for use on another Moodle site. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Creating a course backup==<br />
[[Image:Course_backup.jpg|thumb|Creating a course backup - page 1]][[Image:Course_backup_s2.jpg|thumb|Creating a course backup - page 2]][[Image:Course_backup_s3.jpg|thumb|Creating a course backup - page 3]]<br />
To create a course backup:<br />
#Click Backup in the [[Course administration block]].<br />
#Select your backup options (Page 1)<br />
##Choose the activities and resources you want to include, the default is everything. <br />
##*The Include All/None links at the top will check or uncheck all the boxes in a column. <br />
##*Use the individual boxes to select or unselect specific parts of the course for the backup. <br />
##Select course options desired at the bottom (see Backup options below)<br />
#Click the Continue button to start the backup process.<br />
#On the next page (Page 2)<br />
#*You can edit the default backup filename at the top of this page (uses format:backckup-COURSESHORTNAME-DATE-TIME.zip).<br />
#*You will see the backup details, a list of files and user data that Moodle will include in the backup <br />
#Click the Continue button at the bottom. Or if this does not look right, use cancel to exit the backup process or use your back browser arrow to return to the initial course backup page.<br />
#On the next page (Page 3), the progress of the backup is displayed.<br />
#*You should see the message "Backup completed successfully" at the bottom of the page. <br />
#Click the Continue button.<br />
#You will then be taken to the backupdata directory (see page 4).[[Image:Backupdirectory.png|200px|thumb|backupdata directory - page 4]]<br />
#*You may click on a filename to download any backup file to your computer.<br />
#*Later this area can be reached by the Course administration block by using the Restore link or looking for what is usually called the backupdata folder under the Files link.<br />
<br />
==Backup options==<br />
* User data - consists of all student files, submissions, forum postings, glossary entries, etc.<br />
* Metacourse - If you are backing up the content of a [[Metacourses|metacourse]], you may enable this option so that relations between the courses will be exported and the restore process will try to rebuild them in the destination server.<br />
* Users - Whether you want to backup the content concerning all the registered students in your site, only course students or no students at all. By selecting "none", the backup process will not backup user data<br />
* Logs - This backs up all course activity logs.<br />
* User files - This backs up all student submissions for assignments and other file uploads. <br />
* Course files - This backs up any file stored in the [[Files|files]] area for the course.<br />
* Backup role assignments for these roles - This setting provides a way of copying a custom role from one Moodle site to another. See 'How do I copy a custom role from one Moodle site to another' in [[Roles FAQ]] for details.<br />
<br />
==Creative uses==<br />
The backup and restore processes can offer the teacher and administrators many creative solutions.<br />
*Duplicating courses or specific activities in one course to another course (similar to Import)<br />
*Updating a production Moodle site course, with material from a localhost site course<br />
*Transferring a course to a new Moodle site.<br />
*In earlier versions of Moodle, a way of rolling a course forward without past student activity<br />
*Creating a blank activity, save just that activity and then restore it to the course or another course one or more times. <br />
:''Note:'' The Moodlesite may automatically make and delete backups. For example, it may backup each individual course daily, but not keep any of these backups longer than 5 days. Manual backups by the teacher are usually not affected by this process. <br />

<br />
==Q. How do I install the Feedback module?==<br />
<br />
* Unzip the package to a temporary folder somewhere (e.g., c:\UnzipFeedback).<br />
* Copy the feedback folder from the mod folder in the unzip folder (e.g., c:\UnzipFeedback\mod\feedback) into (yourmoodle/mod).<br />
* Copy the feedback folder from the blocks folder in the unzip folder (e.g., c:\UnzipFeedback\blocks\feedback) into (yourmoodle/blocks).<br />
* (This step wasn't necessary for installing in English.) Inside the moodle folder in the unzip, find lang and inside that find the relevant language folder for you (english is en_utf8). Therein you'll find two php files (block_feedback.php and feedback.php). Copy these two files into (yourmoodle)/lang/(language) - e.g. (yourmoodle)/lang/en_utf8<br />
* (This step wasn't necessary for installing in English.) Also in the relevant language folder you'll find a help folder and inside that a feedback folder. Copy this feedback folder into (yourmoodle)/lang/(language)/help - e.g. (yourmoodle)/lang/en_utf8/help<br />
* Log on as an Admin and click Notifications in the Site Admin block.<br />
<br />
(This answer is based on [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=87777 a forum post by Richard Goddard]. I had problems finding this information so I added here in hopes that it might help others having installation problems.)<br />
<br />
==Q. How do I create a Feedback activity and add questions?==<br />
<br />
* From the ''Add an activity...'' drop down, select ''Feedback''.<br />
* Complete the Name, Description, and other options then save.<br />
* To add questions to your Feedback activity, click the link for the feedback activity, click the ''Edit questions'' tab, and add questions.<br />
<br />
==I do not see the Edit Questions tab. What should I do?==<br />
This does happen sometimes. Usually, logging out of the course and then logging back in will take care of this problem.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Feedback}}<br />
<br />
After setting a new Feedback you design it by '''adding questions'''. Select the type of question from the drop down list in the top left corner then click the ''Add question to activity'' button.<br />
[[Image:Feedbackeditquestionstab.gif]]<br />
<br />
== Standard options ==<br />
<br />
The following apply to all or most question types.<br />
<br />
=== Position ===<br />
<br />
This number controls the order of the questions. Position 1 is the question nearest the top of the page, so when you create or edit a question, you can choose from the dropdown of available positions (which will vary depending on how many other questions there are). You can also rearrange questions by clicking the position up and down arrows on the main add questions screen.<br />
<br />
=== Required ===<br />
<br />
These questions are required to be answered and will prompt the user if they are left unaswered. These questions are highlighted with a red star for users, and have a yellow exclamation point beside them when editing Feedback questions.<br />
<br />
== Available question types ==<br />
<br />
===Captcha===<br />
An test to make sure a real person is filling in the form and not an automatic spamming program of some sort. Asks a person to write out some distorted text which is displayed on screen. You normally won't need this unless you find you are getting spammed a lot.<br />
<br />
=== Multiple choice - multiple answers ===<br />
<br />
This will give you a series of options with a checkbox next to each one. The respondent can check as many as they want and there is currently no way to specify a limit to how many they can choose which is lower than the total.<br />
<br />
=== Multiple choice - single answer allowed (dropdownlist) ===<br />
<br />
This will give you a dropdown list from which only one answer can be selected<br />
<br />
=== Dropdownlist (rated) ===<br />
<br />
This is similar to the dropdownlist option, except that each option has a numerical value associated with it. This means that if asking a question like:<br />
<br />
'''How much do you enjoy being in class?'''<br />
* I love it<br />
* I like it<br />
* It's OK<br />
* I don't like it<br />
* I hate it<br />
it's not possible to (easily) get out an "average" score - particularly if you're asking the same question before and after an event or course. If the Dropdownlist (rated) option is used, then numerical values are associated with each option, allowing an average or other measurements of any responses. The above question might look like:<br />
<br />
'''How much do you enjoy being in class?'''<br />
* [5] I love it<br />
* [4] I like it<br />
* [3] It's OK<br />
* [2] I don't like it<br />
* [1] I hate it<br />
which might allow for an average (e.g. "4.5 this term, up from 3.9 last term") to be calculated.<br />
<br />
=== Label ===<br />
<br />
Similarly to a standard Moodle label, this allows you to add abritrary text between questions allowing for extra explanation or to divide the Feedback into sections.<br />
<br />
=== Numeric answer (added in Moodle 1.7) ===<br />
Here, you ask a question which must have a number as an answer and specify the acceptable range e.g. "How many arms would you like, if more than 2 were possible? (please specify 0-10)" with a range of 0-10 set in the options. It helps if you specify the acceptable range in the question text.<br />
<br />
=== Picture ===<br />
<br />
This question type allows you make a question where users must choose from a range of images as their answer. For example: "Which of these flags is known as the Union Jack?". You write your question and CTRL-Click to choose the images you want. Currently, there seems to be only the option to use flags that are provided with the module. Can other images be used? [[User:Matt Gibson|Matt Gibson]] 04:32, 19 March 2008 (CDT)<br />
<br />
=== Multiple choice - single answer ===<br />
<br />
This will give you a series of radio buttons, which starts on 'Not selected' and then has your options afterwards. Only one can be chosen and 'Not selected' is a valid answer if the question is not set to 'required'.<br />
<br />
=== Radiobutton (rated) ===<br />
<br />
This is the same as the Multiple choice one above, but you can allocate a numerical value to each of the answers as well, which makes things a little more quantitative if you intend to analyse the results statistically.<br />
<br />
=== Longer Text Answer ===<br />
<br />
This option is for creating a text box (you specify how big it will appear in rows and columns) which people can write a long answer into.<br />
<br />
=== Short Text Answer ===<br />
<br />
This option lets you specify a single line answer, with an input box which is a set number of characters long (you choose). You also specify the maximum number of characters you will accept, so that the answer is not too long and/or does not run over the length of the box on screen.<br />

== "Linked Email Accounts" ==<br />
<br />
Kim Cofino describes how a teacher can create one catch-all email account like artielader@gmail.com and students can register using artielader+janedoe@gmail.com, artielader_joeblow@gmail.com, etc.<br />

<br />
<br />
== The Whatever@example.com Solution ==<br />
<br />
Solution (sort of): Well, you could tell these folks to use a fake email address. Anything at example.com would do: ''qwerty@example.com'', ''123@example.com'', etc. Once or twice each day, you would then go to ''http://yoursite/moodle/admin/user.php'' and confirm the new accounts. This is not a perfect solution, but it will certainly work for you and your users.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
== Temporary Email ==<br />
<br />
Another way to go: Use a temporary email service like this one: http://10minutemail.com/. There are [http://www.google.com/search?q=temporary+email+address&ie | many others]. This will allow your students to quickly confirm their accounts and start Moodling.</div>Artladerhttps://docs.moodle.org/37/en/index.php?title=No_Email&diff=41489No Email2008-08-06T00:05:28Z<p>Artlader: </p>

== What are learning objects? ==<br />
<br />
The broadest definition of learning objects seems to be, "any digital resource that can be reused to support learning." <br />
<br />
http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/CIE/AOP/LO_what.html<br />
<br />
Accoring to LOAZ, "There are many characteristics of learning objects, the common ones are: accessibility, interoperability, adaptability, reusability, durability, and granularity."<br />
<br />
http://www.loaz.com/learning-objects/learning-object-characteristics.html<br />
<br />
What role do learning objects play in Moodle? If we accept that any reusable, digital resource can be a learning object, almost any resource or activity we use in Moodle qualifies. After all, you can import and export resources and activities between courses pretty easily.<br />
<br />
=== Creating Learning Objects with Moodle ===<br />
<br />
Consider the book module. Perhaps you have created a Moodle book about the fall of the Berlin Wall for a history course you are teaching. If you permit a German instructor at your school to import that book into one of his or her courses, then your book has met the criteria of a learning object. It is digital, portable and reusable.<br />
<br />
The same can be said of resources created with a glossary, a wiki, and other modules.<br />
<br />
=== Uploading Learning Objects to Moodle ===<br />
<br />
Is a Power Point presentation a learning object that we can upload and use in Moodle? It would seem so. The same can be said of a text document, an image, a self-contained web site, and any other digital teaching resource that you create. If it is reusable, it is probably a learning object. This would include the simplest annotated image and the most sophisticated interactive multimedia resource.<br />
<br />
If you can upload a resource to your Moodle site and use it in more than one course, it is a learning object. Of course, if the learning object is already on the Web, you may choose to link to it. Think of a You Tube movie or a Slide Share presentation.<br />
<br />
=== Additonal Learning Object Considerations ===<br />
<br />
But what about metadata and SCORM? What about tracing student learning? And don't learning objects have to be housed in a searchable repository? These and other considerations are discussed by experts, but do not yet seem to have been resolved.<br />

Is a Power Point presentation a learning object that we can upload and use in Moodle? It would seem so. The same can be said of a text document, an image, a self-contained web site, and any other digital teaching resource that you create. If it is reuable, it is probably a learning object.<br />

== What are learning objects? ==<br />
<br />
The broadest definition of learning objects seems to be, "any digital resource that can be reused to support learning." <br />
<br />

<br />
What role do learning objects play in Moodle? If we accept that any reusuable, digital resource can be a learning object, almost any resource or activity we use in Moodle qualifies. After all, you can import and export resources and activities between courses pretty easily.<br />
<br />
=== Creating Learning Objects with Moodle ===<br />
<br />
Consider the book module. Perhaps you have created a Moodle book about the fall of the Berlin Wall for a history course you are teaching. If you permit a German instructor at your school to import that book into one of his or her courses, then your book has met the criteria of a learning object. It is digital, portable and reusable.<br />
<br />
The same can be said of resources created with a glossaary, a wiki, and other modules.<br />

<hr />
<div>==Installation Packages==<br />
If you are running a small (less than 30 users) Moodle server or just want to test Moodle on your Windows XP PC, pre-built packages are available for you to use. Here are links to pages containing step-by-step instructions for installing Moodle using install packages:<br />
<br />
*[[Complete install packages]] for most Windows versions<br />
<br />
*[[Installing_AMP#Windows| This section has a quick]] way to install a complete package on a Windows XP machine<br />
<br />
*[[Windows installation using XAMPP|Installation guide for Windows using XAMPP]] in case you want to retrofit<br />
<br />
*[[Installation guide for Windows using EasyPHP]]<br />
<br />
*[[Installation guide - Moodle for Windows on a USB Memory Stick]]<br />
<br />
* [[Bitnami Moodle Stack | Bitnami Moodle Stack - Fully automated Moodle instalation]]<br />
<br />
== Manual Installation ==<br />
For medium to large installations (e.g. a college, university or business), it is best practice to install Moodle on your server manually. <br />
<br />
* '''Plan your system capacity'''. This involves estimating the appropriate hardware to support the number of users in your organisation. See [[Installing Moodle#How_many_users.3F| Installing Moodle ]] in the How Many Users section for a method of doing this.<br />
* '''Install your database server'''. You have a choice of [http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ MySQL] (recommended), [http://www.postgresql.org/download/ PostgreSQL], [[Installing MSSQL for PHP | Microsoft SQL Server 2005]] (only for Moodle 1.7 or later) or Oracle.<br />
* '''Install PHP'''. See [http://www.peterguy.com/php/install_IIS6.html How to install PHP 5.x on Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6] for instructions.<br />
* '''Install your web server'''. You have several choices - the decision as to which one to use will depend on your in-house expertise and your required level of sustainability:<br />
**Apache 2 is recommended as the most tested and popular for Moodle installations. See these instructions for [[Installing Apache on Windows |manually installing Apache 2 on Windows]].<br />
**IIS 6 can also be used. See the Windows forum for guidance on installation and, in particular, permission settings for using Moodle with IIS.<br />
**Other webservers are known to install on Windows, e.g. Lighttpd, so you may wish to experiment with these if available memory is low on your server.<br />
* '''Install Moodle''' by getting the standard installation for Moodle from [http://download.moodle.org/ http://download.moodle.org/] and read [[Installing Moodle]] which has detailed generic information.<br />
* '''Setup backups'''. Once Moodle is setup and configured, you should setup backups of the system in case of failure or loss of data. <br />
** '''To perform full site backups''' you need to backup the moodledata and moodle directories, Apache webserver configuration (httpd.conf) if you're using Apache, PHP configuration (php.ini) and any php extensions which are non-standard, and the mysql database. To do this use the integrated backup program (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Backup) or your own proprietary backup software (e.g. BackupExec). To backup your mysql database see the [[Backup FAQ]].<br />
** '''To perform course backups''' see the [[Course backup]] page.<br />
** You should also perform a '''state backup''' of the [http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/921f0ed5-523d-48ac-8825-e850b0e548841033.mspx?mfr=true server] or [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ntbackup_backup_sysstate.mspx?mfr=true PC]. This is especially important if you're using IIS as this will backup the IIS metabase. <br />
* '''Check your server security and performance'''. It is also good practice to read the [[Performance]] and [[Security]] documentation. Although much of the content is targetted at Linux/Unix users, there is a growing amount for Windows systems.<br />
* Set-up your '''Active Directory authentication'''. You can use the standard [[LDAP authentication]] which prompts users with a username/password, or [[NTLM authentication | integrated NTLM authentication]] which does not require campus users to enter their credentials.<br />
<br />

<div>==Getting started==<br />
If you are a new user and would like a list of all teacher documentation articles, please see [[:Category:Teacher]].<br />
<br />
We are assuming that your site administrator has set up Moodle, you are a user with teacher privileges and the administrator has assigned you to a new, blank course. Don't forget, [http://demo.moodle.org/ demo.moodle.org] will let you play an hour at a time for free.<br />
<br />
You will need to be [[Log in | logged into]] the course as a user who has been assigned [[Teacher|a role as a teacher]] (with editing rights) on that course to use most of the features below. We have some tips if you are having [[Can not log in | trouble logging in]].<br />
<br />
Now onto the real details. You will find the [[Course homepage|course homepage]] is broken down into [[Course sections|course sections]]. A course is created by [[Adding resources and activities|adding resources and activities]]. When writing text in Moodle you have a range of [[Formatting options]], including using [[HTML editor|HTML in Moodle]]. There are different ways to enroll [[Students]] and assign them to one or more [[Groups]] in a course.<br />
<br />
The example below shows a new course set up with topic sections, edit is on. There are a few of Moodle's many [[:Category:Block|blocks]] on the right and left sides of the topics, such as "Latest News" or "[[Administration block|Administration]]". The teacher is ready to add resources and activities or a few new blocks to their brand new course.<br />
[[Image:Course edit on new 2.jpg|thumb|center|500px|Getting started image - a new course]]<br />
<br />
==Editing course section==<br />
[[Image:Turn_edit_on_Student_on_buttons.JPG]]<br><br />
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. The student view/change roles option allows the teacher to get a general idea of what students will see. There is also an "editing on" link in the [[Administration block|administration block]]. The turn editing option toggles between on and off, and when on, shows a variety of editing icons next to all editable objects in the course. Here are some common editing icons, for more details about them [[Adding/editing_a_course#Editing_a_course|go to adding/editing a course]]. To ADD items you must use the appropriate drop-downs for them.<br />

<br><br />
'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''' (Note that the open eye indicates that the resource is visible, while clicking it changes it to be invisible (to students), and vice versa with the closed eye. '''<nowiki>**</nowiki>''' Note that the X deletes resources and activities (with a warning) whereas it only removes blocks (which can be added at any time later)<br />
<br />
==Activity modules==<br />
[[Image:Activity dropdown 1 8.JPG|frame|right|Add an activity drop-down menu - Moodle 1.8.2 ]] There are a number of robust interactive learning [[:Category:Modules|activity modules]] that you may [[Adding_resources_and_activities | add to your course]] with the "Add an activity" drop down menu.<br />
<br />
Communication and collaboration may take place using live [[Chats]] or asynchronous discussion [[Forums]] for conversational activities. You can also use [[Choices]] to gain group feedback. Adding [[Wikis]] to your courses is an excellent way to allow students to work together on a collaboratively-authored project.<br />
<br />
Work can be uploaded and submitted by students and scored by teachers using [[Assignments]] or [[Workshops]]. Workshops such as these have several assessment options, including instructor-assessment, self-assessment, and even peer-assessment. Online [[Quizzes]] offer several options for automatic and manual scoring. You can even integrate your Hot Potato quizzes by adding a [[Hotpot]] activity.<br />
<br />
[[Lessons]] and [[SCORM]] activities deliver content and offer ways of individualizing your presentation based upon a student's choices. [[Glossaries]] of keywords can be set up by the instructor, and can be configured to allow students to edit, add, or rate entries.<br />
<br />
[[Surveys]] and [[Database module|Databases]] are also very powerful additions to any course.<br />
<br />
If all of that isn't enough for you then you can also add [[:Category:Modules (non-standard)|non-standard modules]] that are not part of the official Moodle release!<br />
<br />
==Resources==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Resource pulldown menu .JPG 1 8.JPG|frame|left|Add a resource drop-down menu]] <br />
<br />
Moodle supports a range of different [[Resources|resource types]] that allow you to include almost any kind of digital content into your courses. These can be added by using the [[Adding_resources_and_activities | add a resource]] dropdown box when editing is turned on. <br />
<br />
A [[Text page]] is a simple page written using plain text. Text pages aren't pretty, but they're a good place to put some information or instructions. If you are after more options for your new page then you should be thinking about adding a [[Web page]] and making use of Moodle's WYSIWYG editor.<br />
<br />
Of course the resource may already exist in electronic form so you may want to [[File or website link|link to an uploaded file or external website]] or simply display the complete contents of a [[Directory|directory]] in your course files and let your users pick the file themselves. If you have an [[IMS content package]] then this can be easily added to your course.<br />
<br />
All resources may be organized, structured, and [[Label|labeled]] for usability.<br />
<br />
==Blocks==<br />
[[Image:Block add dropdown list teacher 1 8.JPG |thumb|150px|right|Add Block drop-down menu]] <br />
Each course homepage generally contains [[Blocks_%28teacher%29|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 seen in the Getting Started image above. [[Latest News block|"Latest News"]], "[[Blogs]]", [[Upcoming Events block|"Upcoming Events"]], and [[Recent Activity block|"Recent Activity"]] are a few examples.<br />
<br />
A wide range of [[Blocks_%28teacher%29#Block_types|over 16 different block types]] can provide additional information or functionality to the learner by the teacher. The standard blocks that come with Moodle are shown on the right. There are also many [[:Category:Block (non-standard)|non-standard blocks]] developed by Moodlers that an administrator can add to this list. <br />
<br />
A teacher with editing rights will also have a course [[Administration_block|administration block]]. This block has sub menus for course: backup/restore, enrollments, format, reports, grades, activity logs, files and other useful tools.<br />
<br />
==General advice==<br />
<br />
* Subscribe yourself to all of the [[forum]]s in your course so that you can keep in touch with your class activity. <br />
* 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. <br />
* Keep notes to yourself in the private "Teacher's Forum" (under Administration). This is especially useful when team teaching. <br />
* Use the [[Logs]] link (under Administration) to get access to complete, raw logs. In there you'll see a link to a popup window that updates every sixty seconds and shows the last hour of activity. 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. <br />
* Use many reports. [[Reports]] in the Administration block, [[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.<br />
* 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.<br />
*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. <br />
* Use the [[Navigation bar|navigation bar]] at the top of each page - this should help remind you where you are and prevent getting lost<br />
<br />
==Example installations & courses==<br />
It might be useful to have a look at some sites where Moodle is being used to deliver courses - obviously this is only useful where access is open to anyone.<br />

<div>{{Questions}}<br />
<br />
Moodle provides a number of different formats to import questions into question banks. Some enable imports to be made from proprietary quiz software, others provide questions to be imported from human-readable text files and others provide Moodle specific formats to enable transfer of questions between quiz banks. <br />
<br />
In the case of the text formats (in particular GIFT), once you get to know a format, it may be easier to simply type the questions into a text file than to use the web interface. You can just keep typing instead of waiting for new web pages to load for each question.<br />
<br />
The available formats vary with the version of Moodle and if it is a quiz or lesson module. <br />
<br />
== Question formats ==<br />
<br />
*[[GIFT]] - Moodle 'proprietary' text format for import and export. Reasonably comprehensive.<br />
*[[Moodle XML]] - Moodle 'proprietary' xml format for import and export. Very comprehensive. <br />
*Aiken - This format is an easy way of writing multiple-choice questions for import.<br />
*Missing Word -If you’re going to write a lot of missing word multiple choice questions, the missing word format is an easy way to create them.<br />
*AON - This format is the same as the missing word format, except it creates matching questions from the multiple choice questions. Please note that from Moodle 1.8 it will no longer be part of the standard Moodle.<br />
*Blackboard - From Moodle 1.7 onwards, if you're converting from Blackboard to Moodle, you can export your course and then import the question pools into Moodle using the Blackboard format.<br />
*WebCT - In Moodle 1.7 this format supports importing multiple choice and short answers questions from WebCT.<br />
*Course Test Manager - This format enables you to import questions from the Course Test Manager from Course Technology.<br />
*Embedded Answers (Cloze) - This format is a multiple question, multiple answer question with embedded answers. They can be a bit tricky to develop, but they are a unique way of asking questions.<br />
* Importing from Examview - See http://www.rose-prism.org/moodle/mod/resource/view.php?id=6788 and http://www.rose-prism.org/moodle/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=1451<br />
<br />
== Character encoding ==<br />
<br />
Prior to Moodle 1.6 the question file was assumed to be encoded in the same way as the language being used within the Moodle site. With Moodle 1.6 and onwards it is assumed that the imported file is encoded in UTF8. If it is not an external tool must be used to change the encoding. Note that if only basic 'latin' characters are used, then the coding issue can generally be ignored. Be particularly careful when creating questions using Microsoft Word. For reasons best known to themselves, Microsoft used their own encoding for some characters and this is likely to break the import.<br />
<br />

<div>The Lightbox Gallery Resource<br />
<br />
<br />
Type: Resource Type<br />
Requires: Moodle 1.8 or later<br />
Status: Third-Party<br />
Maintainer: Paul Holden<br />
<br />
<br />
This resource allows you to create 'Lightbox' enabled image galleries within your Moodle course. The Lightbox system is a set of scripts than can be used to apply nice effects to image galleries - more info can be found at http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/.<br />
<br />
As a course teacher, you are able to create, edit and delete galleries. The main configuration option involves telling Moodle which directory contains the images you want to include in the gallery. Small thumbnails will then be generated, which are used for the thumbnail view of the gallery.<br />
<br />
Clicking on any of the thumbnails brings that image into focus, and allows you to scroll through the gallery at your leisure. Using the Lightbox scripts creates nice transition effects when loading and scrolling through the images.<br />
<br />
This plugin was designed to be compatible from Moodle version 1.8 upwards, and as such may not behave the same in older versions. Please contact me if you experience any problems!<br />
<br />
Version 1.1 (14th November 07) - this version introduced options to paginate galleries, and allows users to comment on galleries (see this post).<br />
<br />
Version 1.2 (17th December 07) - this version included a new image editor for editing images contained within galleries, as well as code improvements and extended image information options. You can also now add user-defined captions to individual images...<br />
<br />
Please read the installation instructions in the download!<br />

<div>{{Messaging}}<br />
Site-wide messaging may be disabled/enabled by the Administrator in the permissions section of ''Administration > Configuration > Variables'' (1.6) or in ''Administration > Security > Site policies'' (1.7 onwards).<br />
<br />
Unlike [[Forums]] and [[Chats]], Messaging is non-course specific i.e. students may send messages to each other regardless of whether they are enrolled on the same course. Your profile page contains a "Messages" button for opening the Messages window. Alternatively, to encourage the use of messaging in your course, you may wish to add a [[Messages block]] and/or an [[Online Users block]] to your course page.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Sending messages==<br />
<br />
To send a message to an individual:<br />
#In the Messages window click on the Search tab to search for the person, if appropriate checking the box "Only in my courses", then click on their name. (Alternatively, if the person is listed in the Online Users block, simply click on the "Add/send message" envelope opposite their name.)<br />
#Type the message in the pop-up box then click on the "Send message" button.<br />
<br />
To send a message to selected course participants (for teachers only):<br />
#Click on the Participants link in the People bock on the course page.<br />
#Select participants from the list or use the "Select all" button at the bottom of the list.<br />
#Choose "Add/send message" from the "With selected users..." drop-down menu.<br />
#Type the message then click the "Preview" button.<br />
#Assuming you are satisfied with the message, click the "Send" button.<br />
<br />
==Reading and replying to messages==<br />
<br />
When you are sent a message, the Messages window will pop-up. Also, the Messages block will display the name of the person sending the message with a link to read the message. If you have set the email option (see Message Settings below), then you will get a copy of the message in your email after the time you have specified if you are not logged in.<br />
<br />
After reading a message, you may type a reply then click on the "Send message" button.<br />
<br />
==Searching messages==<br />
<br />
In addition to searching for people, the Search tab in the Messages window provides the option to search for keywords, only messages to or from you, and to include in the search people you have previously blocked from contacting you.<br />
<br />
[[Image:MsgSearch.jpg|frame|none|Message window Search tab]]<br />
<br />
==Managing contacts==<br />
<br />
People may be added to your list of contacts (or blocked from contacting you) by clicking the "Add contact" (or "Block contact") icon opposite their name in the Messages window.<br />
<br />
By default the contact list is empty. In order to send a message or to create a shortcut to the person you are sending, go to the Search tab. <br />
<br />
[[Image:MsgContacts.jpg|frame|none|Message window Contacts tab]]<br />
<br />
==Message history==<br />
<br />
A record of messages sent to/from a person may obtained by clicking the "History" icon opposite their name in the Messages window.<br />
<br />
==Message settings==<br />
<br />
Message settings may be changed via the Settings tab in the Messages window.<br />
<br />
Here you can decide on having a popup Message window whenever you get a new message, blocking messages from people who are not on your Contacts list, having an audio signal for a new message, using a HTML editor, or getting email messages when you are offline.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Forums}}<br />
<br />
In your course, click "Turn Editing On", and go to the topic or week section in which you want to create the forum. From the drop-down list labelled "Add an activity", select "Forum". This will take you to the "Adding a new forum" page.<br />
<br />
<br />
==General==<br />
<br />
*Forum name - A short name of the forum (e.g. "Favourite colour"), which will be displayed on the course homepage<br />
*Forum type - There are four forum types to choose from:<br />
** '''A single simple discussion''' - a single topic discussion developed on one page, which is useful for short focussed discussions<br />
** '''Standard forum for general use''' - an open forum where anyone can start a new topic at any time; this is the best general-purpose forum<br />
** '''Each person posts one discussion''' - each person can post exactly one new discussion topic (everyone can reply to them though); this is useful when you want each student to start a discussion about, say, their reflections on the week's topic, and everyone else responds to these<br />
** '''Q and A Forum''' - Instead of initiating discussions Teachers (only) pose a question in the initial post of a discussion. Students may reply with an answer, but they will not see the replies of other Students to the question in that discussion until they have themselves replied to the same discussion.<br />
*Forum introduction - Type the description of the forum here. Include precise instructions for students regarding the subject of the forum and, if necessary, the grading criteria.<br />
<br />
===Force everyone to be subscribed?===<br />
<br />
When a person is subscribed to a forum it means that they will be sent email copies of every post in that forum (posts are sent about 30 minutes after the post was first written). <br />
<br />
People can usually choose whether or not they want to be subscribed to each forum. <br />
<br />
However, if you choose to force subscription on a particular forum then all course users will be subscribed automatically, even those that enrol at a later time. <br />
<br />
This is especially useful in the News forum and in forums towards the beginning of the course (before everyone has worked out that they can subscribe to these emails themselves). <br />
<br />
If you choose the option "Yes, initially" then all current and future course users will be subscribed initially but they can unsubscribe themselves at any time. If you choose "Yes, forever" then they will not be able to unsubscribe themselves. <br />
<br />
Note how the "Yes, initially" option behaves when you update an existing forum: Changing from "Yes, initially" to "No" will not unsubscribe existing users, it will only affect future course users. Similarly changing later to "Yes, initially" will not subscribe existing course users but only those enrolling later.<br />
<br />
From Moodle 1.6 onwards there is an "Subscriptions not allowed" setting which prevents Students from subscribing to a Forum. Teachers may choose to be subscribed if they wish.<br />
<br />
===Read tracking for this forum?===<br />
<br />
If 'read tracking' for forums is enabled, users can track read and unread messages in forums and discussions. The instructor can choose to force a tracking type on a forum using this setting. <br />
<br />
There are three choice for this setting:<br />
<br />
# '''Optional [default]''' - students can turn tracking on or off for the forum at their discretion <br />
# '''On''' - tracking is always on<br />
# '''Off''' - tracking is always off<br />
<br />
==Grade==<br />
<br />
By default, only admins and teachers can rate posts. If you wish students to be able to rate posts, then a role override may be used.<br />
<br />
There are several grading scales you can choose from. You can give a number of points to each post (from 1 to 100) or you can opt for two other scales: '''Scale: satisfactory''' (Outstanding, Satisfactory and Not satisfactory) or '''Separate and Connected ways of knowing''' (Mostly Connected Knowing, Separate and Connected, Mostly Separate Knowing).<br />
<br />
https://docs.moodle.org/en/Image:Tweak-student-role-in-forum.gif<br />
<br />
==Post threshold for blocking==<br />
<br />
*Post threshold for warning - Students (only) will be blocked from posting after a specified number of posts in a given period - this option is for setting the number of posts a Student may make before receiving a warning. Set to 0 to disable warnings. <br />
*Post threshold for blocking - This option is for setting the number of posts a Student may make in the period defined below. Set to 0 to disable blocking. If blocking is disabled, warnings will automatically be disabled.<br />
* Time period for blocking - This option defines the period in which a student may make a the number of posts specified in "Post threshold for blocking".<br />
<br />
==Common module settings==<br />
<br />
*Visible to students - You can hide the activity from students by selecting "Hide" here. It is useful if you wouldn't like to make the activity available immediately.<br />
<br />
==Pre-Moodle 1.7 settings==<br />
<br />
Note: From Moodle 1.7 onwards, forum permissions may be accessed via the Roles tab on the update/edit forum page and the override roles link.<br />
<br />
===Can a student post to this forum?===<br />
<br />
This option allows you to restrict students from posting new content in this forum. There are three options to choose from:<br />
<br />
#Discussions and replies are allowed - This option leaves students unrestricted, which is the case for most forums. Thus, you choose to allow them to start new discussion topics (threads), and also to post replies within those threads.<br />
#No discussions, but replies are allowed - This option should be chosen if only teachers are to be allowed to start new discussions. Students will still be allowed to reply within those threads (for example within the news forum on the site home page). <br />
#No discussions, no replies - Choosing this option bars students from starting new discussion topics and replying within those threads. This is useful for the News forum when you only want teachers to post new items that appear on the course main page.<br />
<br />
===Use ratings===<br />
<br />
If you decide to rate posts on the forum, you will have to define settings of the three following aspects: <br />
<br />
*Users - If you want everybody to rate posts, choose 'Everyone can rate posts'. Otherwise, pick 'Only teachers can rate posts'. <br />
*View - If you want to keep the grades known only to the individual students graded, you should choose the option 'Students can only see their own ratings'. If there is no such a need, opt for 'Students can see everyone's ratings'.<br />

==Moodle 1.8==<br />
Moodle 1.8 is currently in Beta form and undergoing testing and polishing for release. It's not recommended for production sites yet. Release is expected in February 2007.<br />
<br />
Here is [http://tracker.moodle.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10011&styleName=Html&version=10130 the full list of fixed issues in 1.8 at this time].<br />
<br />
===Headline features===<br />
<br />
* [[Accessibility]] - Moodle.com <br />
:: The Moodle interface is now compliant with XHTML Strict 1.0 and major accessibility standards.<br />
* [[Moodle Network]] - Catalyst, Richard Wyles<br />
:: We can now set up peer Moodle installations allowing users to roam from one site to another, using comprehensive SSO and transparent remote enrolments. Administrators at the originating Moodle install can see logs of remote activity. You can also run your Moodle in "Hub" mode where any Moodle install can connect and users roam across.<br />
* [[Web Services API]] - Catalyst, Richard Wyles<br />
:: The Moodle Network code includes an XML-RPC call dispatcher that can expose the WHOLE Moodle API to trusted hosts. We will building on this in further versions but you can start using it now if you need to.<br />
* [[Moodle forms library]] - Moodle.com <br />
:: All forms now use a single API for defining forms consistently and collecting data safely without using any HTML at all.<br />
* [[Multi Authentication]] - Iñaki Arenaza / Jonathan Harker (Catalyst) / Martin Langhoff (Catalyst)<br />
:: It is now easier to configure multiple sources of authentication at once. WARNING: the format for authentication plugins has changed, so custom plugins may be broken, however it's very easy to convert old code to the new format.<br />
* [[Development:Customisable user profiles|Customisable User Profiles]] - Pukunui Technology<br />
::Allow new arbitrary fields to be added to the user profile, with more control over what fields appear on what signup and profile editing screens.<br />
* Groups refactor - Juliette White / Nick Freear (OU)<br />
::Groups code has been reorganised to make it more flexible for the future (see 1.9). In 1.8 you can now put groups into "Groupings".<br />
* [http://tracker.moodle.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=10221 Roles improvements]<br />
:: In addition to many Roles fixes and refinements, Moodle 1.8 has separated the SYSTEM context from the SITE context (which makes it more like 1.6 used to work). The SITE context is the "front page course" and its activities. This should make it easier for admins to set up permissions.<br />
<br />
===Module improvements===<br />
* [[Authorize.net Payment Gateway]] enrolment plugin <br />
:: Payment managers can obtain an authorization code over phone from customer's bank if the credit card of the user cannot be captured on the internet directly.<br />

==Moodle 1.7.1==<br />
<br />
17th January, 2007<br />
<br />
[http://tracker.moodle.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10011&styleName=Html&version=10151 This page shows details about issues resolved in this version]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Moodle 1.7==<br />
<br />
7th November, 2006<br />
<br />
[http://tracker.moodle.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=10120&styleName=Html&projectId=10011&Create=Create This page shows details about issues resolved in this version]<br />
<br />
===Headline features===<br />
<br />
* [[Roles]]<br />
:: Permissions based on fine-grained capabilities allow all kinds of roles to be created and assigned in all contexts around Moodle. This creates a great deal more flexibility in the permissions that you can grant to people.<br />
* [[XML database schema]]<br />
:: added support for MS-SQL and Oracle with more databases to come. Developers now have just one XML file to edit when changing the database structure, and there is even a very funky editor for this file built-in to Moodle<br />
* New Admin interface<br />
:: Completely new admin interface, with accessible design and cool features to make access to settings fast and easy.<br />
* [[Unit tests|Unit testing framework]]<br />
:: Making it easier for developers to write test code, which should ultimately lead to a more reliable Moodle.<br />
* AJAX Course editing (STILL UNSTABLE IN 1.7 RELEASE AND OFF BY DEFAULT, USE WITH CAUTION!)<br />
:: The Topics and Weekly course formats now feature AJAX editing which means you can drag drop blocks, activities and sections (weeks/topics) and it all happens instantly. No more page reloading!<br />
<br />
===Module improvements===<br />
<br />
* Improvements to the [[Assignment module]]<br />
**New type Advanced uploading of files<br />
<br />
* Improvements to the [[Database module]]<br />
**Template/Field settings can now be saved as Presets and shared across a site.<br />
**Presets are just zip files, and can also be shared between sites.<br />
**Moodle 1.7 comes with one sample preset (an Image Gallery) with more to come.<br />
**New latitude/longitude data type<br />
<br />
* Improvements to the [[Lesson module]]<br />
**Now has a more unified view of lesson screens.<br />
**Teacher editing:<br />
***Collapsed view has a nicer format, displays more information regarding each page and allows the creation of new pages.<br />
***Editing is now speedier by replacing 3 second redirect delays with a notification system.<br />
**New feature: display default feedback.<br />
***Default is '''On''' so previous lessons behave as before.<br />
***Description: if no ''response'' is entered for a question answer and this setting is turned '''Off''', then the user skips the feedback page.<br />
**Graceful degrade of JavaScript.<br />
**Several bug fixes.<br />
<br />
* Improvements to the [[Quiz module]]<br />
:* The teacher can configure comments that are displayed to the student at the end of their attempt, with the comment displayed depending on the student's score.<br />
<br />
* Improvements to some core question types<br />
:* All question types can now have some general feedback. This is displayed to all students after they have finished the question (depending on the quiz settings) and does not depend on what response the student gave. Use this to tell the student what the question was about, or link them to more information about the topic it covers.<br />
:* [[Matching question type|Matching]] questions can have extra wrong answers, and work when two questions have the same answer.<br />
:* [[Multiple Choice question type|Multiple Choice]] questions can have feedback for the whole question, as well as specific answers. This is particularly useful for multiple-response questions.<br />
:* [[Numerical question type|Numerical]] questions can have different answers with different precisions and scores. (Previously this was only supported via GIFT import. Now you can edit questions like this.)<br />
<br />
* Improvements to the [[Wiki module]]<br />
:* While editing a wiki page it is now locked so that others cannot try to change it at the same time. Teachers can override the lock.<br />
:* Minor bugfixes (mostly to fix problems that occured when using Postgres database).<br />
<br />
===Enrolment plugin improvements===<br />
<br />
* [[Authorize.net Payment Gateway]] enrolment plugin <br />
:*Accepts 'Electronic Checks (ACH)'. After a user approving echeck, an admin who has upload csv capacity must import a CSV file to get the user enrolled in the Payment Management page.<br />
:*Autoconfigures credit card and echeck types if the merchant does not accept some types of them.<br />

<div>{{Course admin}}<br />
<br />
Course data may be imported from any other course for which the teacher has editing rights.<br />
<br />
1. Select the Import option from the Administration side-block. <br />
<br />
2. Next, select the course you wish to import from and click the ''Use this course'' button.<br />
<br />
3. You will be presented with a check box list from which you can select the type of activities or resources you wish to import. <br />
<br />
4. Finally, click ''Continue'' when done to import that data. <br />
<br />
NB: Selecting forums, for example, will import all forums from that course. Currently you cannot import indivdual items within a module type.<br />
<br />
Groups can also be imported as a batch from a file.<br />
<br />
Backups, especially in 1.6, offer other creative ways to bring in course material from other courses. See [[Course_backup]] or the backup link on the index.<br />

== Manage language ==<br />
{{Moodle 1.6}}<br />
Moodle 1.6 includes a [[Language import utility]].<br />
<br />
== Edit strings ==<br />
{{Moodle 1.6}}<br />
Text in Moodle may be changed by editing the language strings, either via Administration >> [[Configuration]] >> Language or directly i.e. in ''moodledata/lang/''.<br />
* Click the button "switch" and a local language folder, ''parentlanguage_local'', will automatically be created in ''moodledata/lang/''. Files of edited strings will then be saved in this folder.<br />
* When returning to edit further strings, check that files of edited strings will again be saved to the folder ''parentlanguage_local'', switching folder if necessary.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Edit-strings.gif]]<br />
<br />
==Previous admin/lang==<br />
{{Moodle 1.5}}<br />
Text in Moodle 1.5 may be changed by editing the language strings, either via Administration >> [[Configuration]] >> Language or directly e.g. in ''lang/en''.<br />
<br />
'''Local language pack'''<br />
<br />
To ensure that any changes are not overwritten by a new version when upgrading, you need to create your own local language pack as follows:<br />
<br />
* Copy the contents of your language folder (e.g. ''lang/en'') into a new folder (e.g. ''lang/en_local'') - you will need access to the server to achieve this step, it cannot be done from within Moodle.<br />
* Make your local language pack the default for the site via Administration >> [[Configuration]] >> [[Variables]].<br />
