Wiki settings: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:33, 28 August 2020

This page explores in more detail the settings for the Wiki activity once you have added it to your course and also covers the Site administration settings.

General

Give the Wiki a name and a description if required, checking the box if you want the description to display on the course page.

Wiki mode; Choose between "Individual wiki" where each student gets their own, or "Collaborative wiki" where students work together on a single wiki. (Group mode may also be used along with a collaborative wiki.)
First page name: The name you add here will form the first page of your new wiki. It is a required field and once a name has been entered,it can't be changed.

Format

Set the default type of editing your wiki will use.If you are at all unsure, select HTML. Chooose from:

- HTML - editing using the normal text editor such as Atto
- Creole - a popular wiki editing language.
- NWiki - a wiki editing language similar to Mediawiki.

Note: Creole and Nwiki have the same toolbar but slightly different syntax. See Creole format and Nwiki markup

Check "Force format" if you want to control the format your learners will use.

Other settings

Depending on what is enabled for your site and course, you may also need to explore Common module settings, Restrict access, Activity completion, Tags and Competencies

Note that activity completion for a wiki is manual completion only.

Locally assigned roles

Selected users can be given additional roles in the wiki activity from the Locally assigned roles link from the gear menu in the wiki (Boost theme) or, for other themes, from Administration> Wiki administration > Locally assigned roles.

Wiki capabilities

Role permissions for the activity can be changed from the Permissions link in the gear menu within the wiki (Boost theme) or, for other themes from Administration>Wiki administration>Permissions.

-The 1.5 Moodle has the "Type" (group, teacher, student) setting in the wiki settings.  The  "Group Mode" setting (No group, seperate groups and visible groups) is a course setting.  The 9 combinations of group and type settings determine what an individual student can see or edit.
+==Format==
+Set the default type of editing your wiki will use.If you are at all unsure, select HTML. Chooose from:
+**HTML - editing using the normal text editor such as [[Atto]]
+**Creole - a popular wiki editing language.
+**NWiki - a wiki editing language similar to Mediawiki.
-The 1.8 Moodle will have both setting Type (group, teacher, student) and an additional setting called Group Mode (No group, seperate groups and visible groups).
+Note: Creole and Nwiki have the same toolbar but slightly different syntax. See [[Creole format]] and [[Nwiki markup]]
-== CamelCase notation ==
+[[File:WikiFormat.png]]
-*What is a CamelCase notation?  Your very first CamelCase notation you will create will look like: <nowiki>[Create wiki page]</nowiki>. Anything inside the square brackets is the page name. When this is placed on the first wiki page, a "?" that is a link appears. Clicking on the link in this example will take us to a new blank page called "Create wiki page".
-*CamelCase notation allows pages to be linked, indexes created for catagories, and all sorts of other organizational tools to make connections.
-*CamelCase describes what WikiWords look like. Multiple words, joined together without spaces, separated by changes in case. The uppercase and lowercase letters show up like the humps of camels.  This linking scheme is often also called BumpyText because it could look like CaMeL_CaSe.
-In return you will get in trouble, if you need to have words displayed in CamelCase in your text. Moodle will automatically turn those words into anchors with a link pointing to a new site. You may turn off this CamelCase functionality in the menu “Editing Wiki” by checking the "CamelCase" box under "Wiki auto-linking options".
