¡Cómo le quito los nombres de los profesores a las descripciones de mis cursos?

¡Cómo añado los nombres de los profesores sin derecho de edición a las descripciones de mis cursos?

  • By default Moodle will only show names of teachers on course descriptions.If you want to add other roles, check the role in Administration > Site Administration > Appearance > Course contacts

Algunos de mis cursos muestran los resúmenes del curso, pero otros solamente tiene un ícono para información; ¿porqué?

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

¿ Porqué solamente puedo añadir un hipervínculo a una página o etiqueta?

You are probably using Internet Explorer 8 or later. Try either switching to Firefox or click the icon to change to Compatibility mode (which is in effect Internet Explorer 7) and then you will be able to make more than one link.

¿Cómo puedo evitar que los profesores puedan duplicar actividades del curso?

¿Cómo puedo evitar que los profesores puedan añadir un recurso o actividad en particular?

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

No quiero el nuevo Selector de actividades. ¿Cómo puedo regresar al antiguo menú desplegable?

  • While the activity chooser is very helpful, it could cause confusion to users who are coming straight from Moodle 1.9 to 2.3. A teacher can temporarily disable it in Administration > Course administration and (since 2.3.2) an admin can disable it site-wide via Administration > Site administration > Appearance > Ajax and JavaScript

¿Cómo puedo hacer que la página de hogar de mi curso se parezca más a una página web?

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

  • See Formatos de curso for a way to show only one section per page.
  • Anchors/section links can help. But the course page can still be long.
  • Hiding the activities shortens the list for students, but then they can not be selected by students.

One method which might be useful is to put the activities into sections which are then made 'unseen' to the student.

Basic Example

  • Set the number of topics in the course setting to 1 more than students will see.
    • For example, you plan on the students being able to see 6 topics, set it for 7.
  • Add activities in topic 7, such as a quiz (in our example)
  • Get the url of your quiz
    • Copy it and keep it somewhere (such as notepad) for later use
  • Go back to course admin>settings and change your topic/weeks to 6
    • Or one fewer than you had before
  • The section with your quiz will no longer be on the page that the student sees
  • In another section, make a hyperlink to the quiz using its url
    • You can also put it in a topic summary, label or
    • as a resource (link to a file or website)

You will find that the quiz is accessible to students even though the section does not physically appear on the course page for the students. You have shortened the page.

More advanced example

  • There is a youtube video that gives an example of how to do this hereThe video is of a Moodle 1.9 course but the principle still applies.
  • You can actually set up your whole course using this method.
  • Set your course to have two topics (or more if you wish)
  • Ignore topic 1 - do not place anything in it.
  • In topic 2, use the resource: Página to make pages relating to your units of work/topics
  • Add all your resources to topic 2
  • Copy the resources urls into the relevant webpage as hyperlinks
  • In topic 0, the course summary make hyperlinks -or better- images hyperlinked - to each webpage which contains the activities of that unit/topic
  • Go back to course settings and set the number of visible topics to 1.

The teacher will see the hidden sections as "orphaned" items on their course page. However; the student will only see the top of the page. When they click on a link in the header, they are taken to the hidden webpage resources, where they select the resource or activity they wish. This creates a very short visual page but keeps all the course material within the course.

No puedo editar un resumen de tema/tópico: el ícono para edición ya no funciona más (no se puede hacer click en él)

  • This often happens if something copied and pasted from another source, such as MS Word has corrupted your topic summary. This forum post suggests three possible solutions.

¿Donde puedo encontrar una lista de todos los recursos y actividades de los cursos?

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

http://yourmoodlesite.net/course/resources.php?id=x where x is the course ID number, for example http://school.demo.moodle.net/course/resources.php?id=115.

If you wish to see the list of actividades such as quizzes, then use a URL such as this http://yourmoodlesite.net/mod/quiz/index.php?id=x where x is the course ID number,for example http://school.demo.moodle.net/mod/quiz/index.php?id=115

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

¿Es posible descargar todos los archivos de un curso?

It is possible, but not easy. See http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=208003#p907058

Me sale un mensaje de error paging_bar requires a per page value

If you go to Administration >Site administration > Courses > Miscellaneous > Add/edit courses and get the above coding error detected message, then see this this forum thread on Moodle.org for how to fix it.

¿Puedo poner un curso enmás de una categoría?

No. However, there is a workaround. With the Single activity course format, it is possible to add a URL as the single activity. The URL can be a redirect to a course in a different category, thus giving the appearance of a course in more than one category. (Thanks to How to Moodle Winter Newsletter.)

¿Hay alguna URL de atajo hacia un curso?

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

Check out the tracker item for clean URL's: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-28030

'Qué le pasa al contenido de mi curso si yo cambio el formato de un formato de curso hacia otro formato ?

  • (Solamente para formatos estándar de curso)
  • Si Usted cambia de Tópicos/Temas hacia Semanal, o de Semanal hacia Tópicos/Temas, entonces la única diferencia real estará en los títulos de las secciones.
  • Si Usted cambia a formato Social, entonces Usted solamente tendrá un Foro y si Usted quisiera acceder a sus otras actividades necesitará añadir el Bloque de actividades sociales.
  • Si USted cambia hacia el formato de actividad única, Usted solamente verá la actividad que haya elegido mostrar y sus demás actividades estarán "huérfanas", sin ser visibles para los estudiantes, pero disponibles para Usted en una sección de color gris. Si Usted entonces revierte de actividad única a formato de Temas/Tópicos o Semanal, Usted necesitará des-ocultar dichas actividades huérfanas.
