&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Teacher overview==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Teacher&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the core user [[Assign roles|roles]] in Moodle. The others include [[Administrator]], [[Student]] and [[Guest access|Guest]]. These roles have privileges and control what you can and can&#039;t do within particular areas of a Moodle.  In short, an &#039;&#039;Administrator&#039;&#039; can do almost anything and go anywhere, a &#039;&#039;Teacher&#039;&#039; has control over a specific course within a Moodle and the experience of their learners, and a &#039;&#039;Student&#039;&#039; participates in a course.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term &#039;Teacher&#039; can be changed to something else in the course settings or in the site settings.   For example &#039;Tutor&#039;, &#039;Facilitator&#039;, &#039;Professor&#039; or &#039;Instructor&#039; might be more appropriate.  The default term is Teacher and is generally used throughout Moodle documentation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A participant/user is assigned the &#039;Teacher&#039; role in a specific [[Course| course]]. Being a &#039;Teacher&#039; in one course does not give you any special privileges in another. For example, you must be specifically added to a course as a &#039;Teacher&#039;, or a &#039;Student&#039;, or be allowed in as a guest to have any access at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Course creator==&lt;br /&gt;
In later versions of Moodle, the role of teacher has been further defined.  There is now a role called &amp;quot;[[Course creator]]&amp;quot;. This role can create a course, assign Teachers, plus have all the privileges of a Teacher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Non-editing teacher== &lt;br /&gt;
There is &amp;quot;non editing teacher&amp;quot; role that would be suitable for a student mentor or course adjuncts.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Complete install packages are available from Moodle.org&#039;s [http://download.moodle.org/windows Windows download page]. The packages are designed for new installations on a server or standalone computer. Please note Moodle.org&#039;s [[http://download.moodle.org Standard install packages]] only contain the Moodle code.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This document provides instructions for using the Windows packages. Separate instructions are available for [[Complete Install Packages for Mac OS X|Mac OS X packages]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The complete install packages allow Moodle to be installed, along with the prerequisites that includes a web server, database and scripting language (Apache, MySQL and PHP in this case). Several versions of the complete install package are available. The instructions on the download page provide guidance on which version is likely to be most suitable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, complete install packages are designed to create a matched webserver and Moodle site on a standalone computer with minimal of effort. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==System requirements==&lt;br /&gt;
:*256 MB RAM (minimum), 512 MB RAM (recommended)&lt;br /&gt;
:*160 MB free Fixed Disk (more space will be needed depending on user uploads)&lt;br /&gt;
:*Windows 98/ME (minimum)&lt;br /&gt;
:*Windows NT/2000/XP (recommended)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Install complete package process==&lt;br /&gt;
The complete install package is a zip file that contains a webserver called [[Apache]], plus Moodle and Moodle&#039;s required [[MySQL]] database and [[PHP]] program. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are three basic parts to the this install process.  &lt;br /&gt;
#Download and unpack the complete install package. &lt;br /&gt;
#Start the webserver. &lt;br /&gt;
#Install Moodle using a web browser.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===First create file structure===&lt;br /&gt;
====Download the package====&lt;br /&gt;
[http://download.moodle.org/windows Download Windows] packed-zip file from Moodle.&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Moodle Setup zipfile.jpg|frame|center|A downloaded complete install package Windows 1.9 zip file in Windows Explorer]]&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
====Unpack the package====&lt;br /&gt;
Unpack (extract files by clicking on) the zip file you downloaded to a drive or partition of your choice. The extract process will create three files (&amp;quot;Start Moodle&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Stop Moodle&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;README&amp;quot;) and a subfolder called &amp;quot;server&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
*Do NOT rename the &amp;quot;server&amp;quot; subfolder  &lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039; There will also be a folder under this server subfolder, called \moodle that holds the Moodle program.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; Create a folder and extract the files there.  For example, you might have one folder called Moodle193 and another one called Moodle187 for different versions or purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; Make path to &amp;quot;server&amp;quot; subfolder simple. Best way if it will be in drive root. Like &amp;quot;D:\moodle193\server&amp;quot;. Long path especially with any strange symbols can make XAMPP not working properly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Second - start the webserver===&lt;br /&gt;
Now you are ready to start the webserver.  Use the &amp;quot;Start Moodle.exe&amp;quot; file which you should find in the top directory. Once the &amp;quot;Start Moodle.exe&amp;quot; program is open, don&#039;t close it, use &amp;quot;Stop Moodle.exe&amp;quot; for that purpose.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039; These programs control both Apache and MySQL programs that operate the webserver.  Some sites will individually start and stop Apache and MySQL with the Xampp bat files found in the &amp;quot;server&amp;quot; subfolder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Tip:&#039;&#039; Alternatively, on a stand alone computer with several potential webservers that might be running, you can use the &amp;quot;xampp_restart.exe&amp;quot; file in the &amp;quot;server&amp;quot; subfolder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Tip:&#039;&#039; You can also add shortcuts to the commands that start and stop the site in your Windows &amp;quot;start&amp;quot; menu.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Now you are ready to start the Moodle installation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Warning:&#039;&#039; Windows XP requires the msvcr71.dll library file in order to run Xampp. Installing the [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&amp;amp;displaylang=en .Net 1.1 framework] (not .Net 2.0 and upper) could resolve it. You can also search for the file on Google, download it and copy it into the server/apache/bin folder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Third - start Moodle installation===&lt;br /&gt;
Start your web browser and type &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt; localhost, or  http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost &amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;in the address bar. You will either start your first time Moodle installation or if it is already installed you will enter the Moodle site&#039;s [[Front Page]] or Login screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Tip:&#039;&#039; After Moodle installs, put the site in your &amp;quot;favorites&amp;quot; or as a &amp;quot;bookmark&amp;quot; in you browser.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Moodle_Setup_localhost_browser.jpg|frame|center|A browser&#039;s addressbar showing &amp;quot;localhost&amp;quot;. Click on  the green Goto arrow will go to the installed Moodle site.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Tip:&#039;&#039; After Moodle installs, put the site in your &amp;quot;favorites&amp;quot; or as a &amp;quot;bookmark&amp;quot; in you browser.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Set language====&lt;br /&gt;
The initial install page will be displayed after you type &amp;quot;localhost&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:C Install Windows 1.png|thumb|center|600px|Set initial language]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Choose your preferred language (English is used in this example) and click the “Next” button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Diagnostic results====&lt;br /&gt;
A diagnostic report is displayed – hopefully it will look like this, if not you may need to address some issues.&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Complete Windows Install 2.png|thumb|center|546px|Moodle liked and gave a Pass ]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Next” button to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Moodle paths====&lt;br /&gt;
The paths for your Moodle installation are shown – if you are only using this as a local testing server, accept the ones that are shown on your screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What you enter in the &amp;quot;Web Address&amp;quot; field depends on what you intend to use the new Moodle installation for. &lt;br /&gt;
If you are just going to use it for local testing, then use &#039;http://localhost&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
If you are going to test the new installation on a LAN, and will be accessing it from other machines on that LAN, then put the private IP address or network name of the serving machine, followed by a forward slash and moodle: Web Address - http://192.168.1.1/moodle&lt;br /&gt;
If you are going to test the installation on the internet, then you will need to put the public ip address followed by a forward slash and moodle: http://your_ip_address/moodle or you can put your domain name here instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Complete install Windows 3.png|thumb|center|600px|Installation paths]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Next” button to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Database configuration====&lt;br /&gt;
*In the next fields, we enter the database settings. The fields are populated with some suggested values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*We strongly recommend you place a user name and password in this screen. (Don&#039;t forget them).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*DO NOT USE THE “ROOT” USER WITHOUT A PASSWORD FOR PRODUCTION INSTALLATIONS AS THIS CREATES A SECURITY VULNERABILITY&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Complete install Windows 4.png|thumb|center|535px|Installation&#039;s database settings]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*When the fields have been populated, click the “Next” button to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Check server====&lt;br /&gt;
The install process checks the server it installed.&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Complete install Windows 5.png|thumb|center|535px|Check server environment screen]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Next” button to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Confirm initial language pack====&lt;br /&gt;
Moodle will now check to see if the language pack is available for the language you selected at the first step.  If it is not, Moodle will continue with the install in English.&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Complete install Windows 6.png|thumb|center|535px|Language pack check]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Confirm config.php====&lt;br /&gt;
Provided the Moodle folder is writable, a message confirming the configuration has been completed will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Complete install Windows 7.png|thumb|center|549px|Confirmation that config.php has been created]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “ Continue” button to proceed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Moodle copyright &amp;amp; agreement====&lt;br /&gt;
The Moodle copyright / license notices are displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Complete install Windows 8.png|thumb|center|400px|Copyright notice and agreement]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Yes” button to continue.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Current release and unattended option====&lt;br /&gt;
The current release information is shown. &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Check off the unattended operations box&#039;&#039;&#039;. This will automatically advance through many screens.  If you would like to watch the install screen by screen, do not check this box and be prepared to press the &amp;quot;continute button&amp;quot; many times.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
*Click the &amp;quot;Continue&amp;quot; button and wait.&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Complete install Windows 9.png|thumb|center|600px|Current release and &amp;quot;unattended&amp;quot; check box]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Installation modules and blocks screens====&lt;br /&gt;
In most cases this will be followed by a series of screens that have a continue button on the bottom.  This process stops with Admin user profile settings which needs to be filled out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Administrator user profile====&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Complete install Windows 10.png|thumb|center|The administrator&#039;s users profile screen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fill out the required fields.&lt;br /&gt;
*Click on &amp;quot;Save&amp;quot; to continue&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Front page settings====&lt;br /&gt;
The next screen is the Front Page settings page.  There are two parts to it.&lt;br /&gt;
The first part will ask for your Full site name and a short name for the navigation bar. There is also a place for a description. You can change these later.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Complete install Windows 11a.png|thumb|center|The Moodle sites [[Front Page]] information]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second part on the bottom instructs Moodle if you will disable the new user self [[authentication]] through email process.  The default is to disable.  This can be changed later in the [[Site administration block|site administration block]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Complete install Windows 11ba.png|thumb|center|500px|Determine if users can create their own profiles when they log onto the side via email self authentication]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click on &amp;quot;Save changes&amp;quot; button to go to Moodle sites home page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Moodle on====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Now you are ready to Moodle !&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Complete install Windows 12.png|thumb|center|Blank Front page of your new site]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Site Administration block is on the left, the &amp;quot;Turn edit on&amp;quot; button in the upper right corner, withe the site description block just below it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Congratulations - Moodle has been installed===&lt;br /&gt;
This finishes the installation of a complete package.   Type &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://localhost&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; (or what ever you set for web address earlier in the setup!) in your browser and Moodle will open. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your next task will be to configure Moodle to meet your needs.  Don&#039;t worry, it is easy to change any of the settings now that Moodle is up and running.&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[Site administration block]] is where most of the site configuration takes place. The&lt;br /&gt;
[[Administrator_documentation]]for links that help configure Moodle.  The Administrator documentation page has a [[Administrator_documentation#Configuration|configuration section]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==More tips and cautions==&lt;br /&gt;
*For installation on a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 production server it is good practice to perform a manual install (see the manual installation section in [[Windows_installation|Windows Installation]]). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*After installing the Windows package, you may wish to add additional contributed modules and plugins.  Theset may involve more customization of configuration files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The latest complete install package version components, may not be backwardly compatible. Always check version compatibility of each component if you intend to develop materials on a later version of Moodle than the version installed on your &amp;quot;main&amp;quot; Moodle site.  In short, complete install packages are designed for first time install on a &amp;quot;clean&amp;quot; machine.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Security matters (A MUST READ!)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As mentioned before, XAMPP is not meant for production use but only for developers &lt;br /&gt;
in a development environment. The way XAMPP is configured is to be open as possible &lt;br /&gt;
and allowing the developer anything he/she wants. For development environments this &lt;br /&gt;
is great but in a production environment it could be fatal. Here a list of missing security &lt;br /&gt;
in XAMPP:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The MySQL administrator (root) has no password.&lt;br /&gt;
The MySQL daemon is accessible via network.&lt;br /&gt;
phpMyAdmin is accessible via network.&lt;br /&gt;
Examples are accessible via network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To fix most of the security weaknesses simply call the following URL:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://localhost/security/&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The root password for MySQL + phpMyAdmin and also a XAMPP directory protection can be established here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that on the Windows installer package, some (all?) of these issues have been fixed already by default and the above link does not work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If in doubt, more info is [http://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xampp-windows.html  here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Apache and MySQL tweaks ==&lt;br /&gt;
Most of the time it is not necessary to tweak Apache or MySQL after completing the complete install package. Nor is it necessary to individually start and stop them because that is what the Xampp_start, Xampp_restart and Xammp_stop files are for.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Installing Apache and MySQL as services===&lt;br /&gt;
(This is only for NT4 | Windows 2000 | Windows XP operating systems)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\xampplite\apache\apache_installservice.bat =&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;gt; Install Apache 2 as service   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\xampplite\apache\apache_uninstallservice.bat =&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;gt; Uninstall Apache 2 as service   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\xampplite\mysql\mysql_installservice.bat =&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;gt; Install MySQL as service   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\xampplite\mysql\mysql_uninstallservice.bat =&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;gt; Uninstall MySQL as service   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;gt; After all Service (un)installations, please restart your system!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Apache Notes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can use the apache_start and apache_stop bat files to start and stop apache from running. However the Xampp_start or Xampp_restart and Xampp_stop is recommended to turn on/off both Apache and MySQL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Troubleshooting====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you find that Apache is very flaky, with the page often not loading properly or even at all (especially on localhost), try adding these lines to the end of C:\your_moodle_installer_directory\apache\conf\httpd.conf &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  EnableSendfile Off&lt;br /&gt;
  EnableMMAP Off&lt;br /&gt;
  Win32DisableAcceptEx&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If You edit some .php files but browser still show old state of them, try to disable eAccelerator extension in \server\php\php.ini&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 [eAccelerator]&lt;br /&gt;
 ;extension=eaccelerator.dll&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===MySQL notes===&lt;br /&gt;
Again, the recommendation to start and stop the entire webserver is to use the xampp_start or Xampp_restart and the Xampp_stop.  The following maybe useful if you wish to tweak the system further.  Please be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(1) The MySQL server can be started by double-clicking (executing) mysql_start.bat. This file can be found in the same folder you installed xampp in, most likely this will be C:\xampplite\.  The exact path to this file is X:\xampplite\mysql_start.bat, where &amp;quot;X&amp;quot; indicates the letter of the drive you unpacked xampp into.This batch file starts the MySQL server in console mode. The first intialization might take a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
Do not close the DOS window or you&#039;ll crash the server! To stop the server, please use mysql_shutdown.bat, which is located in the same directory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(2) To use the MySQL Daemon with &amp;quot;innodb&amp;quot; for better performance, &lt;br /&gt;
please edit the &amp;quot;my&amp;quot; (or &amp;quot;my.cnf&amp;quot;) file in the /xampplite/mysql/bin directory or for services the c:\my.cnf for windows NT/2000/XP. In that director, activate the&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;quot;innodb_data_file_path=ibdata1:30M&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
statement. Attention, &amp;quot;innodb&amp;quot; is not recommended for 95/98/ME.&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
:To use MySQL as Service for NT/2000/XP, simply copy the &amp;quot;my&amp;quot; / &amp;quot;my.cnf&amp;quot; file to C:\my, or C:\my.cnf. Please note that this file has to be placed in C:\ (root), other locations are not permitted. Then execute the &amp;quot;mysql_installservice.bat&amp;quot; in the mysql folder. 	&lt;br /&gt;
   	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(3) MySQL starts with standard values for the user id and the password. The preset user id is &amp;quot;root&amp;quot;, the password is &amp;quot;&amp;quot; (= no password). To access MySQL via PHP with the preset values, you&#039;ll have to use the following syntax:&lt;br /&gt;
 mysql_connect(&amp;quot;localhost&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;root&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;&amp;quot;);&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to set a password for MySQL access, please use of mysqladmin.&lt;br /&gt;
To set the password &amp;quot;secret&amp;quot; for the user &amp;quot;root&amp;quot;, type the following:&lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
  \xampplite\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root password secret&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
After changing the password you&#039;ll have to reconfigure phpMyAdmin to use the new password, otherwise it won&#039;t be able to access the databases. To do that, open the file config.inc.php in \xampplite\phpmyadmin\ and edit the following lines:    &lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
    $cfg[&#039;Servers&#039;][$i][&#039;user&#039;]            = &#039;root&#039;;   // MySQL user&lt;br /&gt;
    $cfg[&#039;Servers&#039;][$i][&#039;auth_type&#039;]       = &#039;http&#039;;   // HTTP authentificate&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So first the &#039;root&#039; password is queried by the MySQL server, before phpMyAdmin may access.&lt;br /&gt;
  	    	&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have a lot of fun! Viel Spaß! Bonne Chance!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;XAMPP is a fully functional web server package. It is built to test web based programs on a personal computer.  It is not meant for online access via the web on a production server.  This page describes how to install the XAMPP webserver package of progrmas and how to install a Moodle standard package on the server which was created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; These guidelines are not intended for the [[Complete install packages for Windows]] from download.Moodle.org - although the troubleshooting part may help if you encounter problems.  XAMPP is also used to create Moodle&#039;s complete install packages.&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Note: This page was updated showing an installation for XAMPP 1.7.1 but some older screenshots were kept.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a guide for installing XAMPP and Moodle on a computer using the Windows XP operating system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An overview of the steps:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Download the standard Moodle install package you wish to use&lt;br /&gt;
*Download the latest version of XAMPP from Apachefriends.org&lt;br /&gt;
*Install XAMPP&lt;br /&gt;
*Start XAMPP, which will start Apache and MySQL&lt;br /&gt;
*Confirm webserver is operating with your browser&lt;br /&gt;
*Unzip Moodle into the htdocs folder&lt;br /&gt;
*Use your browser to navigate to Moodle&lt;br /&gt;
*Install Moodle, perhaps pausing to update some configuration files&lt;br /&gt;
*Create Admin user and Front Page settings and you have done it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Preparation==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Get Moodle===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the standard version of Moodle you wish to install from Moodle.org [http://download.moodle.org Standard install packages].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Get XAMPP===&lt;br /&gt;
Go to apachefriends.org and download [http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html XAMPP for Windows]. This example assumes that you have downloaded the “Installer” package.  There are several XAMPP packages to download.  Installer is about 1/2 the size of the same package as a zip file.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Allow yourself some time===&lt;br /&gt;
We would allow 30 to 60 minutes to get to the Moodle Front Page on a new site.  The time will depend upon the speed of your computer, download connection and of course your familiarity with the process.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; On slower internet connections, download what you need into a folder for a later install.  The serious moodler might create a MoodleZip folder to put all their different Moodle related zipfiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Create XAMPP webserver==&lt;br /&gt;
===Installing XAMPP===&lt;br /&gt;
Run the installer, eventually you will be presented with an option about where to install the package. We told it to install it in a new folder called C:\X_server which XAMPP will create.  You could use the browse button to point to a location.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:XAMPP171 Install folder.png|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Continue with the installation, this will take a while!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp3.gif|thumb|center|200px|Installation info screen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually you will be presented with the option to install Apache, MySQL, Filezilla and Mercury as a service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp4.gif|center|XAMPP 1.7.1 looks different]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*It’s probably best to choose “No” for now. You can always enable these as services later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next you’ll be asked if you want to start the XAMPP Control Panel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp5.gif|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “No” button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Launch XAMPP ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are several ways to start your webserver. [[Image:XAMPP171 start stop options.png|thumb|left|60px|Server directory start/stop files]][[image:Xampp6.gif|thumb|right|100px|One way to start/stop: XAMPP control panel]]&lt;br /&gt;
1. On your Desktop, locate the shortcut XAMPP icon and double click to launch the Control Panel. &lt;br /&gt;
**When the XAMPP Control Panel has launched, click the “Start” buttons for Apache and MySQL (see below). &lt;br /&gt;
2. In the folder you installed XAMPP, look for the XAMPP_start, or XAMPP_restart icon.  &lt;br /&gt;
**When XAMPP start has finished, both Apache and MySQL have been started.&lt;br /&gt;
3. In the folder you installed XAMPP, look for the Apache start and MySQL start icons&lt;br /&gt;
**When Apache and MySQL start icons are used, two black windows command window should remain open&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If all is well you will see something like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;If Apache fails to run i.e. the &amp;quot;Running&amp;quot; text with the green background keeps disappearing) and you are using Skype or another program that uses port 80 e.g. IIS - please review &amp;quot;Troubleshooting&amp;quot; at the end of these instructions.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Create the MySQL database==&lt;br /&gt;
To create a MySQL database for your Moodle “site” we will use the phpMyAdmin utility included with XAMPP.&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp8.gif|right|Browser address bar]]&lt;br /&gt;
*To access this launch the web browser of your choice (Firefox is used in this example), type http://localhost in the address bar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The XAMPP default page will be displayed, click the link for your preferred language – we will be using English.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From the menu on the left, click on “phpMyAdmin”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp10.gif|center|Click on phpMyAdmin]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*When phpMy Admin has launched in your browser window, enter the name of your database in the “Create new database” field. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PhpMyAdmin3131 create database.png|thumb|center|Center of initial phpMyAdmin screen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* From the &amp;quot;Collation&amp;quot; drop down list select &amp;quot;utf8_unicode_ci&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Create” button to create the database.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You should see the database on the left with your moodle MySQL database name without files in it and/or a notice that it was created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp13.gif|thumb|center|Example of a phpMyAdmin database list, click on moodle to add MySQL users]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PhpMyAdmin3131 created moodle.png|thumb|center|The database is corrected, notice the privileges icon]]  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===MySQL security===&lt;br /&gt;
Security on a localhost may not be a big concern, but at this point we recommend you click the moodle database, then on the privileges icon. Select one of the root users for editing. Create their passwords. [[Image:PhpMyAdmin3131 privileges edit.png|thumb|center|See the edit action icon]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best practice is to create a password for the root user. The &amp;quot;edit action&amp;quot; will give a place to do that. Another good practice is to copy the root user&#039;s privileges to another user. Here we changed the root user to admin, added a password and kept the user called root. [[Image:PhpMyAdmin3131 privileges create admin.png|thumb|center|Creating an admin MySQL user]] &lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039;&#039; On a localhost site, that has no internet security issues, use the same name and password for the user with the most privileges/permissions, usually &amp;quot;admin&amp;quot;, for both MySQL and Moodle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Prepare server for Moodle==&lt;br /&gt;
You will need to extract the folders and files from the downloaded package and create the moodledata folder (where images, course and user data/files will be located).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Extract standard Moodle package files===&lt;br /&gt;
Locate the zip file of the standard install package you downloaded from Moodle.org. The easiest method is to extract everything in the file to the htdocs folder that XAMPP just created.  Most XP Windows operating systems come with an program that will recognize a zip file and ask you where you want to extract the files.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Extract the Moodle files to htdocs. A default folder named “moodle” is created with all the Moodle folders and files within it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp19.gif|thumb|center|Example of Moodle folder inthe server&#039;s htdocs]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moodledata folder===&lt;br /&gt;
It is a good practice to manually create the moodledata folder.   In an standard default install, Moodle will look for it in the top most level of folders on your server, the same level as htdocs, apache, php and those folders. &lt;br /&gt;
*For example: &amp;quot;C;\X_server\moodledata&amp;quot;  or &amp;quot;C:\apachefriends\151\moodledata&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*You may have to change the permissions of the folder in some operating systems.  &lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Vista_moodle_5.jpg|thumb|125px|right|Windows Vista folder securities tab showing permissions]]&lt;br /&gt;
:For example, in Windows Vista, you will need to manually create your moodledata folder and assign it permissions. To do this right click on the moodledata folder, select properties and the &amp;quot;Security&amp;quot; tab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Another box will pop up. Select &amp;quot;Users&amp;quot; and give them &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Write&amp;quot; permissions, along with whatever existed already.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Start of initial Moodle install==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have now installed a webserver on your computer. Next you need to get Moodle to install itself.  You will use your favorite web browser to do this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other pages in MoodleDocs describe the install process.  We will just cover the first few screens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Go to moodle in web browser===&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp23.gif|thumb|right|Browser address]]&lt;br /&gt;
In your web browser, type the path to the folder containing the Moodle files in te address bar – in this example it’s &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://localhost/moodle&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Select language===&lt;br /&gt;
The initial install page will ask you to choose your preferred language. &lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp24.gif|thumb|center|150px|Select language]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Next” button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Diagnostic report===&lt;br /&gt;
A diagnostic report is displayed – hopefully it will look like this, if not you may need to address some issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp25.gif|thumb|center|Initial diagnostic, it passed, no warnings]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Next” button to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Paths for Moodle installation===&lt;br /&gt;
The paths for your Moodle installation are shown – accept these or amend as desired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp26.gif|thumb|center|Paths to parts of your Moodle]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Next” button to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===MySQL database settings===&lt;br /&gt;
In this screen we enter the database settings. The fields are populated with some suggested values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*In this example the database created is “moodle153”. If you created a password for root place it here.  If you want the MySQL user admin to log into the moodle MySQL database, place that user and the password here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; DO NOT USE THE “ROOT” USER WITHOUT A PASSWORD FOR PRODUCTION INSTALLATIONS AS THIS CREATES A SECURITY VULNERABILITY.  &lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp28.gif|thumb|center|MySQL database settings screen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*When you have added or edited information on the page, click the “Next” button to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; This information is creating and can later be edited in the htdocs/moodle/config.php file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Server check===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Moodle Install Server checks.png|thumb|center|150px|Server check with minor issues]]&lt;br /&gt;
This screen will report any issues with your webserver settings. Typically the [[admin/environment/php extension/curl|CURL settings]] and [[admin/environment/php extension/openssl|OpenSLL settings]] in a new XAMPP install will receive a mild or critical warning.    &lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is possible to open Windows Explorer and edit the php/php.ini file using a plain text editor e.g. notepad at this point and then use the refresh button at the bottom of the server check page once you have saved your changes.  However, exiting the Moodle install at this point is not the end of the world, all your settings up to this point have been saved. Localhost\moodle will start the install again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moodle install confirmed===&lt;br /&gt;
Moodle will tell you it has install the basics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp29.gif|thumb|center|125px|Confirmed]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “ Continue” button to proceed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moodle copyright &amp;amp; license===&lt;br /&gt;
The Moodle copyright / license notices are displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp30.gif|thumb|center|Copyright &amp;amp; license]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Yes” button to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Now you can Moodle===&lt;br /&gt;
You will be asked to create the admin user for your Moodle site. Then as the admin Moodle user, you will be taken to the Front Page settings to start to build your new site.&lt;br /&gt;
Good job&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Troubleshooting==&lt;br /&gt;
===Bitnami===&lt;br /&gt;
*If you have previously created a Moodle install with the [http://bitnami.org Bitnami] installer you may find that Apache will not start. This is because Bitnami installs a service for Apache and MySQL. To disable these go to Control Panel &amp;gt; Administrative tools &amp;gt; Service to locate and disable these services.&lt;br /&gt;
===Skype===&lt;br /&gt;
*If XAMPP does not work when you launch your browser and you have [http://www.skype.com Skype] enabled it may be necessary to change the port settings in Skype.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Locate &amp;quot;Options...&amp;quot; in Skype.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image: Skype1.gif|thumb|center|Click to make bigger]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Locate the &amp;quot;Connection&amp;quot; options.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image: Skype2.gif|thumb|center|Click to make bigger]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Remove the tick / check from the Checkbox.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image: Skype3.gif|thumb|center|Click to make bigger]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Click the &amp;quot;Save&amp;quot; button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* You may need to re-start your computer for this to take effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Or you can quit your Skype session while you are working on Moodle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Still having problems but do not have Skype installed?===&lt;br /&gt;
* Check for another program which may be using port 80. IIS is commonly found to be the culprit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Moodle Networking does not work====&lt;br /&gt;
You may need to enable curl. [[admin/environment/php extension/curl|Curl help]] which will tell you the line of code in the php/php.ini file to change. Or find more instructions at this link [http://www.tildemark.com/programming/php/enable-curl-with-xampp-on-windows-xp.html Enable curl in XAMPP on XP]&lt;br /&gt;

[[image:Xampp3.gif|thumb|center|200px|Installation info screen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually you will be presented with the option to install Apache, MySQL, Filezilla and Mercury as a service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp4.gif|center|XAMPP 1.7.1 looks different]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*It’s probably best to choose “No” for now. You can always enable these as services later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next you’ll be asked if you want to start the XAMPP Control Panel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp5.gif|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “No” button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Launch XAMPP ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are several ways to start your webserver. [[Image:XAMPP171 start stop options.png|thumb|left|60px|Server directory start/stop files]][[image:Xampp6.gif|thumb|right|100px|One way to start/stop: XAMPP control panel]]&lt;br /&gt;
1. On your Desktop, locate the shortcut XAMPP icon and double click to launch the Control Panel. &lt;br /&gt;
**When the XAMPP Control Panel has launched, click the “Start” buttons for Apache and MySQL (see below). &lt;br /&gt;
2. In the folder you installed XAMPP, look for the XAMPP_start, or XAMPP_restart icon.  &lt;br /&gt;
**When XAMPP start has finished, both Apache and MySQL have been started.&lt;br /&gt;
3. In the folder you installed XAMPP, look for the Apache start and MySQL start icons&lt;br /&gt;
**When Apache and MySQL start icons are used, two black windows command window should remain open&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If all is well you will see something like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;If Apache fails to run i.e. the &amp;quot;Running&amp;quot; text with the green background keeps disappearing) and you are using Skype or another program that uses port 80 e.g. IIS - please review &amp;quot;Troubleshooting&amp;quot; at the end of these instructions.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Create the MySQL database==&lt;br /&gt;
To create a MySQL database for your Moodle “site” we will use the phpMyAdmin utility included with XAMPP.&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp8.gif|right|Browser address bar]]&lt;br /&gt;
*To access this launch the web browser of your choice (Firefox is used in this example), type http://localhost in the address bar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The XAMPP default page will be displayed, click the link for your preferred language – we will be using English.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From the menu on the left, click on “phpMyAdmin”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp10.gif|center|Click on phpMyAdmin]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*When phpMy Admin has launched in your browser window, enter the name of your database in the “Create new database” field. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PhpMyAdmin3131 create database.png|thumb|center|Center of initial phpMyAdmin screen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* From the &amp;quot;Collation&amp;quot; drop down list select &amp;quot;utf8_unicode_ci&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Create” button to create the database.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You should see the database on the left with your moodle MySQL database name without files in it and/or a notice that it was created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp13.gif|thumb|center|Example of a phpMyAdmin database list, click on moodle to add MySQL users]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PhpMyAdmin3131 created moodle.png|thumb|center|The database is corrected, notice the privileges icon]]  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===MySQL security===&lt;br /&gt;
Security on a localhost may not be a big concern, but at this point we recommend you click the moodle database, then on the privileges icon. Select one of the root users for editing. Create their passwords. [[Image:PhpMyAdmin3131 privileges edit.png|thumb|center|See the edit action icon]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best practice is to create a password for the root user. The &amp;quot;edit action&amp;quot; will give a place to do that. Another good practice is to copy the root user&#039;s privileges to another user. Here we changed the root user to admin, added a password and kept the user called root. [[Image:PhpMyAdmin3131 privileges create admin.png|thumb|center|Creating an admin MySQL user]] &lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039;&#039; On a localhost site, that has no internet security issues, use the same name and password for the user with the most privileges/permissions, usually &amp;quot;admin&amp;quot;, for both MySQL and Moodle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Prepare server for Moodle==&lt;br /&gt;
You will need to extract the folders and files from the downloaded package and create the moodledata folder (where images, course and user data/files will be located).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Extract standard Moodle package files===&lt;br /&gt;
Locate the zip file of the standard install package you downloaded from Moodle.org. The easiest method is to extract everything in the file to the htdocs folder that XAMPP just created.  Most XP Windows operating systems come with an program that will recognize a zip file and ask you where you want to extract the files.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Extract the Moodle files to htdocs. A default folder named “moodle” is created with all the Moodle folders and files within it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp19.gif|thumb|center|Example of Moodle folder inthe server&#039;s htdocs]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moodledata folder===&lt;br /&gt;
It is a good practice to manually create the moodledata folder.   In an standard default install, Moodle will look for it in the top most level of folders on your server, the same level as htdocs, apache, php and those folders. &lt;br /&gt;
*For example: &amp;quot;C;\X_server\moodledata&amp;quot;  or &amp;quot;C:\apachefriends\151\moodledata&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*You may have to change the permissions of the folder in some operating systems.  &lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Vista_moodle_5.jpg|thumb|125px|right|Windows Vista folder securities tab showing permissions]]&lt;br /&gt;
:For example, in Windows Vista, you will need to manually create your moodledata folder and assign it permissions. To do this right click on the moodledata folder, select properties and the &amp;quot;Security&amp;quot; tab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Another box will pop up. Select &amp;quot;Users&amp;quot; and give them &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Write&amp;quot; permissions, along with whatever existed already.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Start of initial Moodle install==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have now installed a webserver on your computer. Next you need to get Moodle to install itself.  You will use your favorite web browser to do this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other pages in MoodleDocs describe the install process.  We will just cover the first few screens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Go to moodle in web browser===&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp23.gif|thumb|right|Browser address]]&lt;br /&gt;
In your web browser, type the path to the folder containing the Moodle files in te address bar – in this example it’s &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://localhost/moodle&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Select language===&lt;br /&gt;
The initial install page will ask you to choose your preferred language. &lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp24.gif|thumb|center|150px|Select language]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Next” button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Diagnostic report===&lt;br /&gt;
A diagnostic report is displayed – hopefully it will look like this, if not you may need to address some issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp25.gif|thumb|center|Initial diagnostic, it passed, no warnings]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Next” button to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Paths for Moodle installation===&lt;br /&gt;
The paths for your Moodle installation are shown – accept these or amend as desired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp26.gif|thumb|center|Paths to parts of your Moodle]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Next” button to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===MySQL database settings===&lt;br /&gt;
In this screen we enter the database settings. The fields are populated with some suggested values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*In this example the database created is “moodle153”. If you created a password for root place it here.  If you want the MySQL user admin to log into the moodle MySQL database, place that user and the password here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; DO NOT USE THE “ROOT” USER WITHOUT A PASSWORD FOR PRODUCTION INSTALLATIONS AS THIS CREATES A SECURITY VULNERABILITY.  &lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp28.gif|thumb|center|MySQL database settings screen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*When you have added or edited information on the page, click the “Next” button to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; This information is creating and can later be edited in the htdocs/moodle/config.php file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Server check===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Moodle Install Server checks.png|thumb|center|150px|Server check with minor issues]]&lt;br /&gt;
This screen will report any issues with your webserver settings. Typically the [[admin/environment/php extension/curl|CURL settings]] and [[admin/environment/php extension/openssl|OpenSLL settings]] in a new XAMPP install will receive a mild or critical warning.    &lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is possible to open Windows Explorer and edit the php/php.ini file using a plain text editor e.g. notepad at this point and then use the refresh button at the bottom of the server check page once you have saved your changes.  However, exiting the Moodle install at this point is not the end of the world, all your settings up to this point have been saved. Localhost\moodle will start the install again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moodle install confirmed===&lt;br /&gt;
Moodle will tell you it has install the basics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp29.gif|thumb|center|125px|Confirmed]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “ Continue” button to proceed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moodle copyright &amp;amp; license===&lt;br /&gt;
The Moodle copyright / license notices are displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp30.gif|thumb|center|Copyright &amp;amp; license]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Yes” button to continue.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Now you can Moodle===&lt;br /&gt;
You will be asked to create the admin user for your Moodle site. Then as the admin Moodle user, you will be taken to the Front Page settings to start to build your new site.&lt;br /&gt;
Good job&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Troubleshooting==&lt;br /&gt;
===Bitnami===&lt;br /&gt;
*If you have previously created a Moodle install with the [http://bitnami.org Bitnami] installer you may find that Apache will not start. This is because Bitnami installs a service for Apache and MySQL. To disable these go to Control Panel &amp;gt; Administrative tools &amp;gt; Service to locate and disable these services.&lt;br /&gt;
===Skype===&lt;br /&gt;
*If XAMPP does not work when you launch your browser and you have [http://www.skype.com Skype] enabled it may be necessary to change the port settings in Skype.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Locate &amp;quot;Options...&amp;quot; in Skype.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image: Skype1.gif|thumb|center|Click to make bigger]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Locate the &amp;quot;Connection&amp;quot; options.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image: Skype2.gif|thumb|center|Click to make bigger]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Remove the tick / check from the Checkbox.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image: Skype3.gif|thumb|center|Click to make bigger]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Click the &amp;quot;Save&amp;quot; button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* You may need to re-start your computer for this to take effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Or you can quit your Skype session while you are working on Moodle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Still having problems but do not have Skype installed?===&lt;br /&gt;
* Check for another program which may be using port 80. IIS is commonly found to be the culprit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Moodle Networking does not work====&lt;br /&gt;
You may need to enable curl. [[admin/environment/php extension/curl|Curl help]] which will tell you the line of code in the php/php.ini file to change. Or find more instructions at this link [http://www.tildemark.com/programming/php/enable-curl-with-xampp-on-windows-xp.html Enable curl in XAMPP on XP]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;XAMPP is a fully functional web server package. It is built to test web based programs on a personal computer.  It is not meant for online access via the web on a production server.  This page describes how to install the XAMPP webserver package of progrmas and how to install a Moodle standard package on the server which was created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; These guidelines are not intended for the [[Complete install packages for Windows]] from download.Moodle.org - although the troubleshooting part may help if you encounter problems.  XAMPP is also used to create Moodle&#039;s complete install packages.&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Note: This page was updated showing an installation for XAMPP 1.7.1 but some older screenshots were kept.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a guide for installing XAMPP and Moodle on a computer using the Windows XP operating system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An overview of the steps:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Download the standard Moodle install package you wish to use&lt;br /&gt;
*Download the latest version of XAMPP from Apachefriends.org&lt;br /&gt;
*Install XAMPP&lt;br /&gt;
*Start XAMPP, which will start Apache and MySQL&lt;br /&gt;
*Confirm webserver is operating with your browser&lt;br /&gt;
*Unzip Moodle into the htdocs folder&lt;br /&gt;
*Use your browser to navigate to Moodle&lt;br /&gt;
*Install Moodle, perhaps pausing to update some configuration files&lt;br /&gt;
*Create Admin user and Front Page settings and you have done it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Preparation==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Get Moodle===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the standard version of Moodle you wish to install from Moodle.org [http://download.moodle.org Standard install packages].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Get XAMPP===&lt;br /&gt;
Go to apachefriends.org and download [http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html XAMPP for Windows]. This example assumes that you have downloaded the “Installer” package.  There are several XAMPP packages to download.  Installer is about 1/2 the size of the same package as a zip file.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Allow yourself some time===&lt;br /&gt;
We would allow 30 to 60 minutes to get to the Moodle Front Page on a new site.  The time will depend upon the speed of your computer, download connection and of course your familiarity with the process.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; On slower internet connections, download what you need into a folder for a later install.  The serious moodler might create a MoodleZip folder to put all their different Moodle related zipfiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Create XAMPP webserver==&lt;br /&gt;
===Installing XAMPP===&lt;br /&gt;
Run the installer, eventually you will be presented with an option about where to install the package. We told it to install it in a new folder called C:\X_server which XAMPP will create.  You could use the browse button to point to a location.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:XAMPP171 Install folder.png|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Continue with the installation, this will take a while!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp3.gif|thumb|center|200px|Installation info screen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually you will be presented with the option to install Apache, MySQL, Filezilla and Mercury as a service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp4.gif|center|XAMPP 1.7.1 looks different]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*It’s probably best to choose “No” for now. You can always enable these as services later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next you’ll be asked if you want to start the XAMPP Control Panel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp5.gif|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “No” button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Launch XAMPP ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are several ways to start your webserver. [[Image:XAMPP171 start stop options.png|thumb|left|60px|Server directory start/stop files]][[image:Xampp6.gif|thumb|right|100px|One way to start/stop: XAMPP control panel]]&lt;br /&gt;
1. On your Desktop, locate the shortcut XAMPP icon and double click to launch the Control Panel. &lt;br /&gt;
**When the XAMPP Control Panel has launched, click the “Start” buttons for Apache and MySQL (see below). &lt;br /&gt;

**When XAMPP start has finished, both Apache and MySQL have been started.&lt;br /&gt;
3. In the folder you installed XAMPP, look for the Apache start and MySQL start icons&lt;br /&gt;
**When Apache and MySQL start icons are used, two black windows command window should remain open&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If all is well you will see something like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;If Apache fails to run i.e. the &amp;quot;Running&amp;quot; text with the green background keeps disappearing) and you are using Skype or another program that uses port 80 e.g. IIS - please review &amp;quot;Troubleshooting&amp;quot; at the end of these instructions.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Create the MySQL database==&lt;br /&gt;
To create a MySQL database for your Moodle “site” we will use the phpMyAdmin utility included with XAMPP.&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp8.gif|right|Browser address bar]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*From the menu on the left, click on “phpMyAdmin”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp10.gif|center|Click on phpMyAdmin]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*When phpMy Admin has launched in your browser window, enter the name of your database in the “Create new database” field. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PhpMyAdmin3131 create database.png|thumb|center|Center of initial phpMyAdmin screen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* From the &amp;quot;Collation&amp;quot; drop down list select &amp;quot;utf8_unicode_ci&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Create” button to create the database.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You should see the database on the left with your moodle MySQL database name without files in it and/or a notice that it was created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:Another box will pop up. Select &amp;quot;Users&amp;quot; and give them &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Write&amp;quot; permissions, along with whatever existed already.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Start of initial Moodle install==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have now installed a webserver on your computer. Next you need to get Moodle to install itself.  You will use your favorite web browser to do this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other pages in MoodleDocs describe the install process.  We will just cover the first few screens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Go to moodle in web browser===&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp23.gif|thumb|right|Browser address]]&lt;br /&gt;
In your web browser, type the path to the folder containing the Moodle files in te address bar – in this example it’s &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;http://localhost/moodle&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Select language===&lt;br /&gt;
The initial install page will ask you to choose your preferred language. &lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp24.gif|thumb|center|150px|Select language]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Next” button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Diagnostic report===&lt;br /&gt;
A diagnostic report is displayed – hopefully it will look like this, if not you may need to address some issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp25.gif|thumb|center|Initial diagnostic, it passed, no warnings]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Next” button to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Paths for Moodle installation===&lt;br /&gt;
The paths for your Moodle installation are shown – accept these or amend as desired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp26.gif|thumb|center|Paths to parts of your Moodle]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Next” button to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===MySQL database settings===&lt;br /&gt;
In this screen we enter the database settings. The fields are populated with some suggested values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*In this example the database created is “moodle153”. If you created a password for root place it here.  If you want the MySQL user admin to log into the moodle MySQL database, place that user and the password here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; DO NOT USE THE “ROOT” USER WITHOUT A PASSWORD FOR PRODUCTION INSTALLATIONS AS THIS CREATES A SECURITY VULNERABILITY.  &lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp28.gif|thumb|center|MySQL database settings screen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*When you have added or edited information on the page, click the “Next” button to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; This information is creating and can later be edited in the htdocs/moodle/config.php file. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Server check===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Moodle Install Server checks.png|thumb|center|150px|Server check with minor issues]]&lt;br /&gt;
This screen will report any issues with your webserver settings. Typically the [[admin/environment/php extension/curl|CURL settings]] and [[admin/environment/php extension/openssl|OpenSLL settings]] in a new XAMPP install will receive a mild or critical warning.    &lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is possible to open Windows Explorer and edit the php/php.ini file using a plain text editor e.g. notepad at this point and then use the refresh button at the bottom of the server check page once you have saved your changes.  However, exiting the Moodle install at this point is not the end of the world, all your settings up to this point have been saved. Localhost\moodle will start the install again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moodle install confirmed===&lt;br /&gt;
Moodle will tell you it has install the basics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp29.gif|thumb|center|125px|Confirmed]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “ Continue” button to proceed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moodle copyright &amp;amp; license===&lt;br /&gt;
The Moodle copyright / license notices are displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:Xampp30.gif|thumb|center|Copyright &amp;amp; license]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the “Yes” button to continue.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Now you can Moodle===&lt;br /&gt;
You will be asked to create the admin user for your Moodle site. Then as the admin Moodle user, you will be taken to the Front Page settings to start to build your new site.&lt;br /&gt;
Good job&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Troubleshooting==&lt;br /&gt;
===Bitnami===&lt;br /&gt;
*If you have previously created a Moodle install with the [http://bitnami.org Bitnami] installer you may find that Apache will not start. This is because Bitnami installs a service for Apache and MySQL. To disable these go to Control Panel &amp;gt; Administrative tools &amp;gt; Service to locate and disable these services.&lt;br /&gt;
===Skype===&lt;br /&gt;
*If XAMPP does not work when you launch your browser and you have [http://www.skype.com Skype] enabled it may be necessary to change the port settings in Skype.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Locate &amp;quot;Options...&amp;quot; in Skype.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image: Skype1.gif|thumb|center|Click to make bigger]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Locate the &amp;quot;Connection&amp;quot; options.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image: Skype2.gif|thumb|center|Click to make bigger]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Remove the tick / check from the Checkbox.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image: Skype3.gif|thumb|center|Click to make bigger]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Click the &amp;quot;Save&amp;quot; button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* You may need to re-start your computer for this to take effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Or you can quit your Skype session while you are working on Moodle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Still having problems but do not have Skype installed?===&lt;br /&gt;
* Check for another program which may be using port 80. IIS is commonly found to be the culprit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Moodle Networking does not work====&lt;br /&gt;
You may need to enable curl. [[admin/environment/php extension/curl|Curl help]] which will tell you the line of code in the php/php.ini file to change. Or find more instructions at this link [http://www.tildemark.com/programming/php/enable-curl-with-xampp-on-windows-xp.html Enable curl in XAMPP on XP]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Lessons}}&lt;br /&gt;
This page is about lesson settings (update this lesson) that can be changed by the teacher when they view the lesson in edit mode.  There are excellent help files once Lesson settings window has been open.  After selecting lesson with the &amp;quot;Add activity&amp;quot; pull down menu, Moodle will first show the lesson settings page.  At any point in the design or compilation of the lesson, it is possible (almost desirable in some cases) to edit the lesson settings by using the &amp;quot;Update the Lesson&amp;quot; button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the lesson settings and saving them, you(the teacher) will jump back to the page list with its insert, edit, move or delete potentials.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is some difference between  Moodle 1.5 and 1.6 with additional settings.  Please note that the settings group category is shown on this page for reference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== General ==&lt;br /&gt;
===Name===&lt;br /&gt;
Lesson name. HTML code will not work in 1.9 in this field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Timed=== &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Lesson Timer.png|right]]&lt;br /&gt;
Allows teacher to set a time limit on the lesson. Students are shown a count down counter and the time is recorded in the database. The timer does not evict a student from the lesson when the time is up, but does not score a question after the time limit reaches 0:00:00. The time in the database is checked each time a student submits a question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Maximum Number of Answers / Branches in a Lesson===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This value determines the maximum number of answers the teacher can see and use when editing a lesson or a page. The default value is 12.  This is a useful feature in older versions of Moodle that have no collapsed view.  This value can reduce the number of screensaver a teacher might see in the lesson edit mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This parameter also sets the maximum number of Branches that can be seen by the teacher in a Branch Table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is safe to change the value of this parameter at any time. It only effects what the teacher sees, not the data. For example, a teacher starting to enter a series of multiple choice questions with 6 answers, might set this value to 6.  Then when the teacher starts to enter a series of questions with 2 answers,  they might set this value to 2 because they don&#039;t need to see 4 blank answers for every question in the design phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a similar manner, changing the value does not effect what the student sees when they view a branch page, nor does it change previous information put in by the teacher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Grade Options ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Practice Lesson===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A practice lesson will not show up in the Gradebook.  A practice lesson can not be a dependent lesson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Custom Scoring===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This will allow you to put a numerical point value on each answer. Answers may have negative values or positive values. Imported questions will automatically be assigned 1 point for correct answers and 0 for incorrect, though you may change this after the import.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maximum Grade===&lt;br /&gt;
This value determines the percentage of the score of this lesson which will be used to calculate the overall score in the gradebook. The range is 0 to 100%. This value can be changed at any time during the lesson. Any change has an immediate effect in the Grades page and on the grades shown to the students in various lists. &lt;br /&gt;
*When the grade is set to 0 the Lesson does not appear in any of the Grades pages.  Also at end of the lesson, the student will see their score (#y of #x) and that they received a grade of 0%.  This should be a clue that the lesson is not part of their grade for the course.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===User can re-take===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This setting determines whether the students can take the lesson more than once or only once. The teacher may decide that the lesson contains material which the students ought to know thoroughly. In which case repeated viewing of the lesson should be allowed. If, however, the material is used more like an exam then the students should not be allowed to re-take the lesson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the students are allowed to re-take the lesson, the grades shown in the Grades page are either their average grade over the re-takes or their best grade for the lesson. The next parameter determines which of these two grading alternatives is used.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that the Question Analysis always uses the answers from the first tries of the lesson, subsequent re-takes by students are ignored.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By default this option is Yes, meaning that students are allowed to re-take the lesson. It is expected that only in exceptional circumstances will this option be set to No.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Handling of Re-takes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When students are allowed to re-take the lesson, this option allows the teacher to show the grade for the lesson in, for example, the Grades page, as either the mean, this is average, of the grades over the first and subsequent tries or as the grade from the students&#039; best tries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This option can be changed at any time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Display ongoing score===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This setting will allow the student to see their current score.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Flow Control ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Allow Student Review===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This will place a &amp;quot;Review Lesson&amp;quot; button on the last screen of the lesson to encourage the to student navigate through the lesson again from the start.  Be sure to check other settings to allow them to change their answers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Display Review Button===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This will display a button after an incorrectly answered question, allowing a student to re-attempt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; It is not compatible with essay questions, so leave this off if you are using essay questions.  Sometimes this setting will override any &amp;quot;display default feedback&amp;quot; lesson setting, where the default feedback will always be displayed when the review button is shown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Maximum Number of Attempts (by a Student)===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This value determines the maximum number of attempts a student (not a teacher) will have to answer any question in the lesson. Once reached, the student will not see the question again.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The default value is 5. Smaller values may discourage the student from trying different answers about a question. Larger values may lead to frustration when the student &amp;quot;does not get it&amp;quot;.  For example with a short answer or numerical question, the student is not given an opportunity to try different answer choices. This value provides an escape route to the next page in the lesson. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Setting this value to 1 gives the students just single chance to answer each question. This would be similar to a question in the Quiz module.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039; this value is student global parameter and that it applies to all the questions in the lesson regardless of their type. However it does not apply to teachers checking of questions or navigating through the lesson. Checking the number of attempts relies on values stored in the database and question attempts by teachers are not recorded. The teacher should after all know the answers!  So teachers should switch their roles to that of a student to observe this feature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Action after a Correct Answer===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The usual action is to follow the jump as specified in the answer. In most cases this will probably show the Next Page of the lesson. The student is taken through the lesson in a logical way, beginning at the start and ending at the end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the lesson module can also be used as a type of Flash Card assignment. The student is shown some information (optional) and a question in basically a random order. There is no set beginning and no set end. Just a set of Cards shown one after another in no particular order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This option allows two very similar variants of Flash Card behavior. The option &amp;quot;Show an unseen page&amp;quot; never shows the same page twice (even if the student did not answer the question associated with the Card/Page correctly). The other non-default option &amp;quot;Show an unanswered page&amp;quot; allows the student to see pages that may have appeared before but only if they answered the associated question wrongly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In either of these Flash Card-type lessons the teacher can decide to use either all the Cards/Pages in the lesson or just a (random) sub-set. This is done through the &amp;quot;Number of Pages (Cards) to show&amp;quot; parameter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;If you want a student to be taken directly from one question to the next irrespective of their answer being correct or incorrect&#039;&#039;&#039;: in the Lesson Settings, set Maximum number of attempts: to 1. Please note, however, that a message &amp;quot;correct / incorrect&amp;quot; will still be displayed to the student upon answering each question. If you do not want this (default) feedback message to be displayed then enter your own feedback message (i.e. &amp;quot;continue&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;---&amp;quot;, etc.) In case you want no visible message displayed then enter a non-breaking space as feedback, so you&#039;ll have to put a # after the answer which may be ~3 and write &amp;amp; n b s p ; after that.(without spaces between these characters) To find out how Moodle works - you may export a sample of your questions with GIFT and check them out!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Display default feedback ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Moodle 1.7}}&lt;br /&gt;
Feedback to a specific answer to a question can appear on the next page after the student makes a choice and submits it. The question, the student&#039;s answer and the feedback appear on a page with a continue button at the bottom.  This lesson setting controls what appears as the feedback response and if the page appears at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When this option is set to Yes, the standard default response will appear.  In most lessons, when this is set to yes, Lesson first looks for the teachers custom feedback and if it does not find one, will put in the default feedback. It is possible to change the words used in the standard [[Language editing|default feedbacks]] for the entire MoodleSite.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Selecting No, will only show the teacher&#039;s supplied feedbacks for each specific answer.  If the teacher has not entered a response for a specific answer, then the feedback page is not displayed and the student will immediately go to the page that the specific answer&#039;s jump is set to. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; Under some versions of Moodle, other lesson settings may cause the default feedback to appear, even when the teacher has supplied their own feedback.  Changing the &amp;quot;Review button&amp;quot; lesson setting to &amp;quot;No&amp;quot; will show the teachers custom feedback.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Minimum Number of Questions in a Lesson===&lt;br /&gt;
This value determines the &#039;&#039;&#039;minimum&#039;&#039;&#039; number of questions that will be used to calculate a student&#039;s score.  It does not force students to answer that many questions in the lesson.  When a lesson contains one or more [[Adding a branch table| branches]], the teacher should normally set this parameter. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, setting this parameter to 20, will ensure that grades are given as though the students have seen at least this number of questions. Take the case of a student who only looks at a single branch in a lesson with 5 pages and answers all the associated questions correctly. This student then choose to end the lesson (assuming there is that option in the &amp;quot;top level&amp;quot;Branch Table, a reasonable enough assumption). If this parameter was set to 0 their grade would be 5 out of 5, that is 100%. However, with it set to 20 their grade would be reduced to 5 out of 20, that is 25%. In the case of another student who goes through all the branches and sees, say, 25 pages and answers all but two of the questions correctly, then their grade would be 23 out of 25, that is 92%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If this parameter is used, the teacher might want to add  a statement on the opening page of the lesson.  For example, if the teacher set the value to 20 they might say:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In this lesson you are expected to attempt at least &#039;&#039;20&#039;&#039; questions. You can attempt more if you wish. However, if you attempt less than &#039;&#039;20&#039;&#039; questions your grade will be calculated as though you attempted &#039;&#039;20&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When this parameter is set to a value more than 0,  students are told how many questions they have attempted and how many they are expected to attempt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Number of Pages (Cards) to Show===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This parameter is only used in Flash Card type lessons. The default value is zero which means that all the Pages/Cards are shown in a lesson. Setting this parameter to a non-zero value shows that number of pages. After that number of Page/Cards have been shown the end of lesson is reached and the student is shown their grade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If this parameter is set to a number greater than the number of pages in the lesson then the end of the lesson is reached when all the pages have been shown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Lesson formatting ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Slide Show===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This enables the display of the lesson as a slide show, with a fixed width, height, and custom background color. A CSS based scroll bar will be displayed if the width or height of the slide is exceeded by the content of a page. Questions will &#039;break out&#039; of the slide show mode, only pages (branch tables) will be shown in a slide by default. Buttons labeled with the lang default for &amp;quot;Next&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Back&amp;quot; will be shown at the far right and left of the slide if that option is chosen on the page. Other buttons will be centered below the slide.  You can also decide on the width, height and the background colour of the slide show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Display Left Menu===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This will show a list of the pages (Branch Tables) in the lesson. Question pages, cluster pages, etc. will not be shown by default (you may choose to show question pages by checking that option on the question).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Progress bar===&lt;br /&gt;
A simple bar at the bottom of the lesson which will give an approximate percentage of completion.  Since lessons vary greatly in their navigation, this works best with lesson that follow the logical order and do not jump around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Access control ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Password Protected Lesson===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This will not allow a student to access the lesson unless they type the password.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dependent on ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Moodle 1.6}}&lt;br /&gt;
In Version 1.6 a lesson can be dependent upon another lesson. There are 3 possible dependencies which can be use separately or in combination with each other. Time Spent (minutes) refers to how long the student was in the lesson on their last attempt (it is not cumulative). Completed means the student has attempted one question. Grade as a percentage of a specific lesson means just that.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;TIP:&#039;&#039; Dependency not working when is sent to &amp;quot;Completed&amp;quot; on another lesson?  You must have a question for lesson to recognize that it is complete.  Put a multiple choice question at the end of the lesson and ask: &amp;quot;In this lesson you learned A, B, and C.&amp;quot; Do not put in an answer or a jump.  The student will see &amp;quot;Continue&amp;quot; at the end and go to the end of the lesson and fulfil the requirement of completing the lesson.  The dependent on lesson can not be a practice lesson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Available from &amp;amp; deadline dates===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Determine the dates for the opening and closing of the lesson.  For example in Moodle 1.7 it is possible to close the course in the year 2020.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Other ==&lt;br /&gt;
===Link to activity===&lt;br /&gt;
A pull down menu will allow the teacher to create a link to another activity when the lesson is finished.  This link will appear as a button on the [[Lesson_Pages#End_of_Lesson_Page|&amp;quot;end of lesson page&amp;quot;]], with links to grades or back to the homepage of the course.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pop-up to file or web page===&lt;br /&gt;
At the start of the lesson, this creates a popup window.  For example this might be a music file, an agreement or text which the student can refer while in the lesson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tree View===&lt;br /&gt;
Found in pre 1.6 versions of Moodle.  Similar to the setting under Lesson Formatting, display left menu in Moodle 1.6 and later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Display High Scores===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A list of the high scores for the lesson will be shown. Students who get a high score can choose a custom name to list their score by. There is a &#039;badwords&#039; filter which checks for naughty names.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Andreafoaltin: /* Using a complete install package on an internal network */&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A &#039;&#039;&#039;localhost&#039;&#039;&#039; means &amp;quot;this computer&amp;quot; in a network.  In Moodle documentation, a localhost refers to a web server with Moodle, which is installed on a computer that is &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; connected to the internet.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 In [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost techie]] talk   &lt;br /&gt;
   &amp;quot; A &#039;&#039;&#039;localhost&#039;&#039;&#039; is a Internet Protocol loopback device which can be used by &lt;br /&gt;
     TCP/IP applications  to talk to themselves.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The default internal loop IP for the localhost is usually 127.0.0.1 .   This IP is different from the IP that identifies the computer on the network.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reaching a localhost==&lt;br /&gt;
After unpacking one of Moodle&#039;s [[Complete install packages for Windows]] on a Windows machine, the  user is instructed to open up a web browser and type &amp;quot;localhost&amp;quot; in the address bar. This brings up the first time install script for Moodle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every time the localhost is used, it is a good idea to check to see if it is has been turned on.   Usually this involves running the Apache and the MySQL startup scripts.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once these scripts are running, then the user will type &amp;quot;localhost&amp;quot;, or 127.0.0.1 in the browser address field.   Alternatively, many users have a &amp;quot;favorite&amp;quot; or link with either of these two addresses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Using a complete install package on an internal network==&lt;br /&gt;
By changing a few lines of code in a few files, a &amp;quot;localhost&amp;quot; (one computer) webserver sometimes can be changed to be seen by other computers. Generally speaking, this should only be attempted on an internal (where computers share a single router) network.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, a teacher might have one computer in the classroom initially set up as a localhost with a Moodle on it.  The 5 other computers students use as workstations can see that Moodle if they are on the same network. The students need to know the Moodle computer&#039;s network IP address and type that in their address bar of their browser.  However, students will not be able to use it from home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Localhost servers and the internet==&lt;br /&gt;
A common questions is why a Moodle installed on my computer can can not be used by other people on the internet.  Please see:  [[Home servers and the internet]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Uses of localhost servers==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Localhosts are great for testing things or building courses for later upload to an more secure Moodle site that can be seen from the web.  It is possible to install a complete install package on  your personal computer and make it available to others on a small network, such as a classroom. Most personal computers that have a complete install package (with its webserver) will not be configured to be visible from the internet.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Wiki}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A wiki [[Teacher_documentation#Activity_modules|activity]] is a collection of collaboratively authored web documents. Basically, a wiki page is a web page everyone in your class can create together, right in the browser, without needing to know HTML. A wiki starts with one front page. Each author can add other pages to the wiki by simply creating a link to a page that doesn&#039;t exist yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wikis get their name from the Hawaiian term &amp;quot;wiki wiki,&amp;quot; which means &amp;quot;very fast.&amp;quot; A wiki is indeed a fast method for creating content as a group. It&#039;s a hugely popular format on the Web for creating documents as a group. There is usually no central editor of a wiki, no single person who has final editorial control. Instead, the community edits and develops its own content. Consensus views emerge from the work of many people on a document.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moodle&#039;s wiki is built atop an older wiki system called Erfurt wiki: http://erfurtwiki.sourceforge.net.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Moodle, wikis can be a powerful tool for collaborative work. The entire class can edit a document together, creating a class product, or each student can have their own wiki and work on it with you and their classmates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It may be useful to think of a wiki&#039;s front page as a structured table of contents. Essentially, a wiki is organized by its links.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Setting up and editing a Wiki ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For documentation on setting up a Wiki and for adding and editing pages, see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Setting up: [[Adding/editing_a_wiki]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adding pages: [[Viewing_a_wiki#Adding_a_wiki_page|Section on Adding a wiki page]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Editing pages: [[Viewing_a_wiki#Editing_a_wiki_page|Section on Editing a wiki page]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Printing pages:  [[wiki_print|Wiki print]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wiki Basics==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wikis are a simple, flexible tool for collaboration. They can be used for everything from simple lists of web links to building entire encyclopedias. Wikipedia is the largest wiki in the world (http://www.wikipedia.org). As of August 2007, Wikipedia contained over 2,000,000 articles in English alone, on everything from general topology to split infinitives. The entire Wikipedia site is written by volunteers from around the world.  An article is started by someone with an interest in the subject, and then anyone in the community can add content, edit other people&#039;s work, or add another page elaborating on a sub-topic. It has become so large and so frequently used that there is a lively debate about how authoritative a collaborate work without a central editor can be. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, wikis in your own class won&#039;t be that extensive. But it&#039;s important to have a plan for your wiki before you release it to the class.  Students need to know the purpose of the wiki and how it fits in with the class. If it&#039;s a personal wiki, will they be graded? Is it simply a staging area for group work that will be submitted later?  Students need to know so they can submit appropriate work. A brainstorming wiki is very different from one that will be submitted for a grade. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You&#039;ll also need to decide on an editing policy. Will you be a central editor? Or will you let the students be completely responsible for the work? How will you deal with offensive content? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In most circumstances, you&#039;ll find that you can trust students. But on the rare occasion a student does do something offensive, you will need to have a policy to deal with it.  Will you roll back the changes by that author? Or will you create a new version by deleting her content?  Creating a new version leaves a trail you can use for evidence later, but it also makes it easier for the perpetrator to restore her comments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creative Wiki practices==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The free-form, collaborative nature of wikis makes them easy to apply in creative ways. Any sort of group process can be facilitated using a wiki. For instance, a course may make use of many resources and have, as an aid to instructors, a wiki devoted to equipment located in several remote classrooms. The wiki&#039;s links to equipment and process pages can become useful in giving directions. The front page would then be organized differently than an individual teacher&#039;s page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Group lecture notes===&lt;br /&gt;
Usually, lecture notes are a solitary activity, but one person can easily miss an important point during a lecture through daydreaming or trying to understand a prior point. Students may also have difficulty deciding what information is important and what is elaboration or example. Creating a wiki for group lecture notes after a lecture gives students a chance to combine all their notes. Those that missed information can get it from their peers. The group can also decide what information is critical and give it proper emphasis. Group lecture notes could be done with the entire class, if it is small enough, or with small working groups. Groups can also compare notes for further discussion and refinement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Group Project management===&lt;br /&gt;
The most straightforward use of a wiki is as a tool for group collaboration for creating group projects. A teacher assigning a group project can give students a place to work by creating a wiki with the group mode enabled. This will give each group their own space to record research, to develop outlines and to create the final product. The teacher may create a submission date on which to turn off editing capabilities for students so that he or she can grade the final projects. Afterwards, the teacher may enable visible groups so that everyone can see each other&#039;s work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brainstorming===&lt;br /&gt;
Brainstorming is a non-judgmental group creative process in which group members are encouraged to give voice to any ideas they personally consider relevant to the group exercise. In a face-to-face meeting, a brainstorming facilitator will usually stand in front of a big piece of paper and elicit ideas from the participants in the room. A teacher can create an online version of this process by setting up a wiki for the entire class or for smaller student groups and asking people to submit ideas around a brainstorming topic. People can add ideas as they occur and link to other pages for elaboration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Contribute to other wikis===&lt;br /&gt;
A teacher might assign his or her class the task of contributing to [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], [http://en.wikiversity.org Wikiversity], or to another wiki on the Web, on any class topic, perhaps by assigning students to groups (or making it a class project if the class is small enough and the topic broad enough) and challenging them to collaboratively create an article they would feel confident posting to a public-information space. Students will use the course wiki to create drafts of the article they will eventually publish to the community at the end of the semester.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This type of assignment has a number of benefits:&lt;br /&gt;
* It gives students additional motivation to do their best, since they know their work will be viewed and critiqued by the public instead of just by their instructor.&lt;br /&gt;
* It can act as a summarizing activity for an entire semester’s worth of material.&lt;br /&gt;
* Students will know their work will be used by other people, not just graded and filed away.&lt;br /&gt;

Of course, wikis in your own class won&#039;t be that extensive. But it&#039;s important to have a plan for your wiki before you release it to the class.  Students need to know the purpose of the wiki and how it fits in with the class. If it&#039;s a personal wiki, will they be graded? Is it simply a staging area for group work that will be submitted later?  Students need to know so they can submit appropriate work. A brainstorming wiki is very different from one that will be submitted for a grade. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You&#039;ll also need to decide on an editing policy. Will you be a central editor? Or will you let the students be completely responsible for the work? How will you deal with offensive content? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In most circumstances, you&#039;ll find that you can trust students. But on the rare occasion a student does do something offensive, you will need to have a policy to deal with it.  Will you roll back the changes by that author? Or will you create a new version by deleting her content?  Creating a new version leaves a trail you can use for evidence later, but it also makes it easier for the perpetrator to restore her comments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creative Wiki practices==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The free-form, collaborative nature of wikis makes them easy to apply in creative ways. Any sort of group process can be facilitated using a wiki. For instance, a course may make use of many resources and have, as an aid to instructors, a wiki devoted to equipment located in several remote classrooms. The wiki&#039;s links to equipment and process pages can become useful in giving directions. The front page would then be organized differently than an individual teacher&#039;s page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Group lecture notes===&lt;br /&gt;
Usually, lecture notes are a solitary activity, but one person can easily miss an important point during a lecture through daydreaming or trying to understand a prior point. Students may also have difficulty deciding what information is important and what is elaboration or example. Creating a wiki for group lecture notes after a lecture gives students a chance to combine all their notes. Those that missed information can get it from their peers. The group can also decide what information is critical and give it proper emphasis. Group lecture notes could be done with the entire class, if it is small enough, or with small working groups. Groups can also compare notes for further discussion and refinement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Group Project management===&lt;br /&gt;
The most straightforward use of a wiki is as a tool for group collaboration for creating group projects. A teacher assigning a group project can give students a place to work by creating a wiki with the group mode enabled. This will give each group their own space to record research, to develop outlines and to create the final product. The teacher may create a submission date on which to turn off editing capabilities for students so that he or she can grade the final projects. Afterwards, the teacher may enable visible groups so that everyone can see each other&#039;s work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brainstorming===&lt;br /&gt;
Brainstorming is a non-judgmental group creative process in which group members are encouraged to give voice to any ideas they personally consider relevant to the group exercise. In a face-to-face meeting, a brainstorming facilitator will usually stand in front of a big piece of paper and elicit ideas from the participants in the room. A teacher can create an online version of this process by setting up a wiki for the entire class or for smaller student groups and asking people to submit ideas around a brainstorming topic. People can add ideas as they occur and link to other pages for elaboration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Contribute to other wikis===&lt;br /&gt;
A teacher might assign his or her class the task of contributing to [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], [http://en.wikiversity.org Wikiversity], or to another wiki on the Web, on any class topic, perhaps by assigning students to groups (or making it a class project if the class is small enough and the topic broad enough) and challenging them to collaboratively create an article they would feel confident posting to a public-information space. Students will use the course wiki to create drafts of the article they will eventually publish to the community at the end of the semester.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This type of assignment has a number of benefits:&lt;br /&gt;
* It gives students additional motivation to do their best, since they know their work will be viewed and critiqued by the public instead of just by their instructor.&lt;br /&gt;
* It can act as a summarizing activity for an entire semester’s worth of material.&lt;br /&gt;
* Students will know their work will be used by other people, not just graded and filed away.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Wiki}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A wiki [[Teacher_documentation#Activity_modules|activity]] is a collection of collaboratively authored web documents. Basically, a wiki page is a web page everyone in your class can create together, right in the browser, without needing to know HTML. A wiki starts with one front page. Each author can add other pages to the wiki by simply creating a link to a page that doesn&#039;t exist yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wikis get their name from the Hawaiian term &amp;quot;wiki wiki,&amp;quot; which means &amp;quot;very fast.&amp;quot; A wiki is indeed a fast method for creating content as a group. It&#039;s a hugely popular format on the Web for creating documents as a group. There is usually no central editor of a wiki, no single person who has final editorial control. Instead, the community edits and develops its own content. Consensus views emerge from the work of many people on a document.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moodle&#039;s wiki is built atop an older wiki system called Erfurt wiki: http://erfurtwiki.sourceforge.net.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Moodle, wikis can be a powerful tool for collaborative work. The entire class can edit a document together, creating a class product, or each student can have their own wiki and work on it with you and their classmates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It may be useful to think of a wiki&#039;s front page as a structured table of contents. Essentially, a wiki is organized by its links.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Wiki Basics==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wikis are a simple, flexible tool for collaboration. They can be used for everything from simple lists of web links to building entire encyclopedias. Wikipedia is the largest wiki in the world (http://www.wikipedia.org). As of August 2007, Wikipedia contained over 2,000,000 articles in English alone, on everything from general topology to split infinitives. The entire Wikipedia site is written by volunteers from around the world.  An article is started by someone with an interest in the subject, and then anyone in the community can add content, edit other people&#039;s work, or add another page elaborating on a sub-topic. It has become so large and so frequently used that there is a lively debate about how authoritative a collaborate work without a central editor can be. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, wikis in your own class won&#039;t be that extensive. But it&#039;s important to have a plan for your wiki before you release it to the class.

Scenariu didactic:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
1.Moment organizatoric		&lt;br /&gt;
-verificarea prezenţei elevilor si notarea absenţelor in catalog;&lt;br /&gt;
-verificarea ţinutei elevilor si celor necesare defaşurarii orei &lt;br /&gt;
-asigurarea unei atmosfere adecvate pentru buna desfaşurare a orei	&lt;br /&gt;
 	&lt;br /&gt;
2.Capterea atenţiei		&lt;br /&gt;
-verificarea temei elevilor prin sondaj folosind dialogul profesor –elev, elev-elev,prin confruntarea rezultatelor. In cazul in care apar diferenţe mari la rezultat se rezolvă exerciţiile la tablă;	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3.Informarea elevilor asupra lecţiei 		&lt;br /&gt;
In cadrul orei de astăzi vom recapitula si sistematiza cunoştinţele referitoare la ecuaţia de gradul al II-lea iar la sfârsâşitul orei toţi elevii vor trebui să ştie să rezolve o ecuaţie de gradul al II-lea&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4.Verificarea cunoştinţelor &lt;br /&gt;
Se propune elevilor o activitate interactiva frontală în care elevii vor scrie la tablă şi în caietele de notiţe forma ecuaţiei de gradul al II-lea, formula discriminantului si formula de rezolvare a ecuaţiei si numarul de soluţii a ecuaţiei din condiţiile discriminantului 	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5.Consolidarea cunoştinţelor si asigurarea feed-back-ului&lt;br /&gt;
Se propune elevilor o fişă de lucru ce conţine:&lt;br /&gt;
-aplicaţii ce conduc la obţinerea formulei de rezolvare a ecuaţiei de gradul al II-lea&lt;br /&gt;
-identificarea condiţiilor ca o ecuaţie sa aiba soluţii reale sau nu;&lt;br /&gt;
-exerciţii de validare a condiţiilor impuse discriminantului pentru ca o ecuaţie să aibă sau nu soluţii reale;&lt;br /&gt;
-găsirea unor metode alternative de rezolvare a ecuaţiei de gradul al II-lea 	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6.Retenţia si transferul		&lt;br /&gt;
Profesorul propune elevilor o fişă de evaluare în care fiecare elev va avea de rezolvat o ecuaţie de gradul al II-lea,&lt;br /&gt;
-profesorul va accentua astfel importanţa asimilarii de către elevi a acestor cunoştinţe referitoare la ecuaţia de gradul al II-lea cunoştinţe necesare in capitolul următor Simplificarea expresiilor	&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7.Tema pentru acasa		&lt;br /&gt;
-manual pagina 76 problemele 1,2,3 +problemele rămăse din fisă&lt;br /&gt;
-indicaţii la temă;	&lt;br /&gt;
9.Aprecieri 		&lt;br /&gt;
-se notează elevii ce s-au evidentiat in timpul orei&lt;br /&gt;
