There are 3 items to configure. The URL is the LAMS server's address, and must have the '/lams' at the end. The server id/key is like a username/password combination; LAMS makes it possible to integrate several LMS' with one instance of LAMS, and each must have their unique id/key to identify themselves.

:LAMS server URL (e.g. http://www.mylamsserver.com:8080/lams)
:LAMS server ID - a unique string identifying Moodle to LAMS
:LAMS server key - a secret 'password' that LAMS will use to authenticate this Moodle server's users

{{Moodle 1.6}}

LAMS stands for Learning Activity Management System and is used for designing, managing and delivering online collaborative learning activities. This is done through a visual authoring environment for creating sequences of learning activities. These activities can include a range of individual tasks, small group work and whole class activities based on both content and collaboration.

It is a standard module and also a course format in Moodle 1.6.

Adding/editing a chat

2007-12-06T14:41:19Z

Misakmilan:

{{Chats}}
==General settings==
[[Image:Chat_setup.gif|thumb|Adding a chat]]
=== Name of this chat room ===
Begin by entering a name for your chat room. The name entered here will be the name that learners see in the course content area. Learners will click on this name to view the description of the purpose of the chat room and then to enter the chat. It is useful to name your chat room with a name that implies its purpose. For example, if you will be using your chat room for virtual office hours, then you might name your chat room “Virtual Office.” Alternatively, if the chat room is designed solely to give learners a place to socialize or discuss class activities, you might name the chat room “Student Lounge.”

===Introduction text===

Type the description of the chat here. Include precise instructions for students regarding the subject of the chat.

The introduction text is designed to welcome learners to the chat and to provide information regarding the purpose of the chat room. The introduction can be as simple or as complex as you would like. As an example, you could simply explain that the chat room is being made available for learners to collaborate on group projects. A chat could also be used for structured discussions of course content; in that case, the Introduction text might present a specific list of questions to be addressed or the protocols to be followed.

It might also be beneficial to let the learners know in the Introduction text who will be able to see the transcripts of the chat sessions. The instructor will be able to see every part of any conversation that takes place in the chat room. However, you can choose to make these transcripts visible to all learners as well. When working with younger learners, experience has revealed that discussions in the chat rooms are more likely to be on-task and appropriate when the learners are aware that their discussions can be viewed by the instructor and/or other learners. The same may well be true with adult learners.

===Next chat time===

The day and hour of the next chat session.

If you wish to schedule chat sessions for or with your learners, then you can use this setting to publish a time and date for the next chat. The date you select here will be displayed on the course calendar along with a link to the chat room. Realize that setting a date and time here will not restrict access to the room at other times, it is merely a tool to communicate with your learners; to let them know when they can expect to find you or other learners in the chat room. If you wish to make the chat room unavailable, you must hide it from the learners.

To choose a chat time, use the drop down menus to choose the day, month and year. Then, set a time with the last two fields on the line. Note: the time is based on a 24 hour clock or “military time,” so 14:00 refers to 2:00 p.m.

For courses involving users across different time zones, it is useful to know that the time you set here will be adjusted to match the time zone of the user viewing it.

If you do not wish to publish chat times, then you can disregard the date and time settings here and then choose not to publish them in the next step.

===Repeat sessions===

You can choose any out of four options allowing to schedule the future chat sessions:

# '''Don't publish any chat times'''--If you prefer not to schedule chats for the chat room, select this setting. This option will cause Moodle to disregard the date and time set above for the Next chat time. Not publishing chat times could be used to indicate to learners that the chat room is available at all times for them to use.
# '''No repeats - publish the specified time only'''--This setting will cause only the date and time selected for the Next chat time to be published. The date and time will be displayed on the course calendar as well as when the learners click on the title of the chat room in the course content area. Published chat times could be used to schedule special events or meetings or simply to help learners identify a common time in which they can expect to find other learners in the chat room.
# '''At the same time every day'''--In some situations, you may need to schedule a chat session for the same time every day; this setting allows for this option. The scheduled chats will then be based on the time of day you selected above for the Next chat time. Scheduled daily chats are useful for scheduling daily office hours or work sessions with learners.
# '''At the same time every week'''--To schedule a chat for the same day and time every week, select this option. When this option, the scheduled chats will be on the same day of the week at the same time you indicated in the Next chat time area above. If you regularly give assessments on the same day of the week, this setting could be useful for scheduling review sessions prior to each assessment. You could also schedule a weekly chat to meet and review key ideas and questions related to the week’s content—assessment or not.

===Save past sessions===

You can determine the number of days.

When users (two or more) participate in a chat session, a record, or complete transcript of the session is created. As the instructor, you can choose how long these transcripts are saved and available for viewing. You may wish to never delete the messages from a special chat room used for discussions between learners and visiting authors, but you may choose to keep transcripts from an open, informal chat room for only 30 days.

If you have any concerns about discussions that might take place in your chat room, you may want to keep transcripts for an extended period of time to allow the transcripts to be used for documentation. Likewise, you may find the documentation provided by the transcript to be useful for accreditation or evaluative purposes. Another consideration is how long you expect your learners to need access to the transcript. For instance, if learners are using the chat room to collaborate on a group project, you won’t want to delete the messages until that project is completed and assessed.

===Everyone can view past sessions===

You can decide here whether or not allow everyone to view past chat sessions.

Instructors in a course can always view transcripts from sessions in the chat rooms. However, you also have the option to make these chat transcripts available to all of the learners in the course. If you select Yes for this setting, learners can click on the title of the chat room and then view past sessions to see any interactions that have taken place in the chat room. If you select No here, then only the instructors in the course will have access to the transcripts. If learners need access to a specific transcript though, the instructor can always copy the transcript and share it with learners in the form of a document.

==Common module settings==

===Group mode===
Another location to set the group mode for the activity. If group mode is forced in the course settings then this setting will be ignored.

===Visible===
You can hide the activity from students by selecting "Hide" here. It is useful if you wouldn't like to make the activity available immediately.

Changing the Visible to students setting is the equivalent of opening or closing the eye on the course page to hide or display an activity for learners. If you choose Show, then learners in the course will be able to see this assignment. If you choose Hide, then only the instructor will be able to see the assignment.

===ID number===
The ID number may be used in 3rd party integrations and grade calculations (in Moodle 1.9 onwards).

[[Image:Chat Icon.gif]] The '''Chat''' module allows participants to have a real-time synchronous discussion via the web. This is a useful way to get a different understanding of each other and the topic being discussed – the mode of using a chat room is quite different from the asynchronous forums. The Chat module contains a number of features for managing and reviewing chat discussions.

Adding/editing an assignment

2007-12-05T21:59:10Z

Misakmilan:

{{Assignments}}
==Assignment name==

Give your assignment a name (e.g. “Report on Topic Content”). The name entered here will be the name that learners see in the course content area. Learners will click on this name to view the details of the assignment and, if applicable, submit their work.

==Description==

The description of the assignment, which should include precise instructions for students regarding the subject of the assignment, the form, in which it should be submitted, the grading criteria etc.

Use this area to describe the assignment and explain what learners are expected to do to complete this task. The assignment description can be as brief or as expansive as you feel is necessary to meet the needs of your learners. However, it is to your benefit to provide as much detail and information as possible, especially at the start of the course while you are still establishing procedures. Generally, the more information you are able to provide here the fewer questions and problems your learners will have completing the task.

The assignment description field can also be used to provide information or resources related to the assignment. An instructor, for example, could provide some literature, a video clip, an image, or a link to a webpage, and then ask the learners to use these materials in completing the task. (Alternatively, the instructor could post these items using the Resource Module and refer students to them in the assignment details. See the section titled Resource Module for more information.)

Finally, if you are adding rich content, tables, etc. to your description, it is best to expand the HTML editor into full screen mode so you can make your webpage document look nice when participants view it.

==Grade==

The grade for the assignment is specified here. Choosing a number will become the maximum grade for this assignment. Apart from the numbers, one of the descriptive grades which have been defined for this course can also be picked.

If you will not be giving a grade for the assignment, choose No Grade.

==Available from==

Setting this date prevents students from submitting their assignments before this date.

The Available from date setting allows an instructor to set a day and time at which learners can begin submitting the assignment. This setting does not, however, hide the activity from the learners. Instead, the learner will see the activity, be able to view the instructions and use any materials you have include in the description, but the learner will not be able to submit or complete the assignment until the Available from date.

To activate the Available from date, make sure that the check box is marked. Then, use the drop down menus to choose the day, month and year. You can also set a time with the last two fields on the line. Note: the time is based on a 24 hour clock or “military time,” so 14:00 refers to 2:00 p.m.

If you do not wish to use the Available from option, just remove the check from the checkbox by clicking on it; the rest of the field will turn gray and the date will be ignored.

==Due date==

And this prevents students from submitting their assignments after this date.

The Due date field works in much the same way as the Available from field with a few small differences. The checkbox activates the Due date option and you have the same ability to select a day, month, year, and time. If the checkbox is empty, then the due date will be not be applied.

As with the Available from setting, the Due date defines when learners are able to submit their assignment. However, with the Due date settings, you also have the Prevent late submissions option (below the date and time fields). Setting Prevent late submissions to Yes will prevent learners from being able to submit this assignment after the Due date. If you set Prevent late submissions to No, then learners can submit the assignment as long as the assignment is visible or accessible to them.

Both the Available from and Due dates are displayed for learners in the assignment details, but the Due date is also marked in the course Calendar as a visible reminder for participants. Furthermore, the indicator on the calendar will actually link learners directly to the activity!

Your use of the Available from and Due date settings will probably be dependent on the overall structure of your course. If you are facilitating an open ended course or a course with rolling enrollment, then you might find it easier to not apply the Available from and Due date settings (uncheck the boxes). This arrangement will allow the learners to access the assignments according to their own schedule and progress within the course. Alternatively, if you are working within a more structured format or adhering to a timeline, the Available from and Due date settings are useful for keeping learners on schedule. Using the Available from setting will make it possible for learners to preview upcoming activities, while at the same time, prevent them from finishing the course in the first week and not returning for additional activities or information. Likewise, the Due dates help keep the learners from lagging too far behind and decrease the likelihood that the learner will become overwhelmed by having to complete several weeks worth of work at once.

==Prevent late submissions==

Set to "No", assignments submitted after the due date will be marked as late, but students will still be able to submit them. Set to "Yes", assignment submission will be blocked after the due date.

==Settings for specific assignment types (1.7 onwards)==

Each assignment type, except offline assignment, has further settings which are detailed on the relevant assignment type pages:
*[[Upload a single file assignment|Upload a single file]]
*[[Online text assignment|Online text]]
*[[Advanced uploading of files assignment|Advanced uploading of files]]

==Assignment type (pre-1.7)==

With the Assignment type setting (pre-1.7), you choose the type of assignment which defines how learners will complete the assignment and turn it in to the instructor. Assignments can be set up as offline activity, online text, or upload a single file.

;Upload
:A student can upload a single file. This could be a Word document, spreadsheet or anything digital. Multiple files could be zipped and then submitted.After learners upload their files in this arrangement, the instructor will be able to open the submission and then use the Moodle interface to assign a grade and offer comments as feedback.

:In addition to using this activity to collect work from learners, some instructors and learners use this module as a tool for transferring projects from one location to another. For example, if an instructor offered learners an assignment of this form, the learner could upload a file he was working on at school and then, once home, retrieve it from the assignment screen to continue his work. With the right settings (offered on the next screen), the learner can then submit the new file from home to use at school again.

;Online Text
:This assignment type asks users to compose and edit text, using the normal editing tools. The online text assignment can be set up to allow learners to compose, revise and edit over time or such that the learner only has one opportunity to enter his or her response. Furthermore, with the online assignment, instructors can grade the work online and even edit and/or provide comments within the learner’s work.

:The online text assignment is ideal for journaling and composition work.

;Offline assignment
:This is useful when the assignment is performed outside of Moodle. It could be something elsewhere on the web or face-to-face. Students can see a description of the assignment, but can't upload files. Grading works normally, and students will get notification of their grades.

:The offline activity has a number of different applications. In general, the offline activity is designed for activities completed outside of the online environment. Additionally, if you are using the Moodle gradebook, the offline activity gives you the capability to add gradebook entries for assignments completed outside of Moodle or for non-graded activities within Moodle.

:Specifically, an instructor in a hybrid or blended environment (combination of face-to-face and online instruction) may use the offline activity type of assignment to assign a project that the learner will physically present to the instructor at a face-to-face session. This arrangement allows the instructor to communicate the project expectations online while creating an entry for the project in the Moodle gradebook.

:In another example, consider the instructor who gives reading assignments or assigns problems for practice. These activities wouldn’t necessarily be turned in for a grade, but the instructor needs a tool for communicating the assignment details. The offline assignment, with its unique icon, could be used as a consistent visual cue for the learners; learners would come to know that they can always look for the assignment icon to see what work they need to complete.

:Finally, the offline assignment, as mentioned previously, is a tool for making entries in the Moodle gradebook. Perhaps an instructor wants to assign a grade for contributions to a class wiki; however, the wiki itself is an ungraded activity. The instructor could use an offline assignment to create an entry for the wiki contribution grade in the Moodle gradebook. In this example, however, the instructor may choose to hide the actual listing of the assignment in the Moodle course since it is primarily being used for the purpose of making a gradebook entry.

Above the table there is an alphabetical index, which helps you narrow down the number of students shown on one page only to those whose surname (or name) starts with the same letter. That is particularly helpful in case of a large number of course participants.

The list of submissions may be sorted by clicking on a particular heading. Clicking twice on the same heading sorts the list in the opposite order. If the table is too large then columns may be collapsed by clicking on the Hide icon next to a particular column heading.

By default, 10 submissions are shown per page, though this may be changed at the bottom of the page.

To grade a submission, click on the Grade link opposite a particular student's name. A new window will open containing a feedback area.

Once you've reviewed the student's assignment, pick the grade for the assignment from the dropdown list. (You set the scale when you created the assignment.) Below the grade scale, you can type comments regarding their work. When you're done, click "Save changes" or "Save and show next".

You may prefer to use "quick grading" by checking the box at the bottom of the submissions page. This enables you to quickly grade multiple assignments all on one page, rather than one by one in a new window. Simply add the grades and comments then when you're done, click "Save all my feedback" at the bottom of the page.

In the second step of setting up the assignment (pre-1.7), depending on the type of assignment you are adding, you will have to fill in the following data:

==Allow resubmitting==
(This option is not relevant for offline assignments.)

By default, students cannot resubmit assignments once the teacher has graded them.

[[image:Assignmentparams-2.GIF|frame|left|configure the assignment to suit your needs]] <br style="clear:both;">

If you turn this option on, then students will be allowed to resubmit assignments after they have been graded (for you to re-grade). This may be useful if the teacher wants to encourage students to do better work in an iterative process. For example, you can allow learners to begin their work at one time and come back and finish or edit it later. Or, if you assess the learner’s work and make suggestions for revisions, the learner can come back and make those changes.

Alternatively, not allowing a learner to resubmit can be a valuable tool for assessment. An instructor can set a short window of availability and not allow the learner to come back and edit for a snapshot of a learner’s writing ability.

==Email alerts to teachers==
(This option is not relevant for offline assignments.)

If enabled, then teachers are alerted with a short email whenever students add or update an assignment submission.

Only teachers who are able to grade the particular submission are notified. So, for example, if the course uses separate groups, then teachers restricted to particular groups won't receive any notices about students in other groups.

==Maximum size==
(This option is relevant only for assignments of the "Upload a single file" type)

This setting specifies the maximum size of the file which the students can upload as their submission. If your learners are uploading word processing documents or spreadsheets, typically you only need to allow for a few megabytes. If your learners are submitting multimedia projects or other files with many images or audio clips, then the space allowed will need to be larger.

==Comment inline==
(This option is relevant only for assignments of the "Online text" type)

If this option is selected, then the original submission will be copied into the feedback comment field during grading, making it easier to comment inline (using a different colour, perhaps) or to edit the original text. Of course even if the teacher makes inline comments and changes, the student's original submission is kept intact.

If inline comments are not permitted, then the instructor will see the learner’s submission and a separate area for making comments.

{{Assignments}}Viewing/submitting an assignment you will see the assignment name and its description with the 'View x submitted assignments' link (where 'x' is the number of assignments submitted) and the opening/closing dates and hours ('Available from' and 'Due date') of a given assignment. What's (and if there is anything) below depends on the type of assignment.

* In the Offline activity assignment there are no additional options.

* In the Online text assignment you will also see your assignment submission (if you have done so) with the Edit my submission option as well as the Feedback from the Teacher field.

* In the Upload a single file assignment, you can go for the Upload a file option, the execution of which demands using the Browse link allowing you to choose the file on your computer you wish to be uploaded.

Misakmilan:

{{Assignments}}

This is useful when the assignment is performed outside of Moodle. It could be something elsewhere on the web or face-to-face. Students can see a description of the assignment, but can't upload files or anything. Grading works normally, and students will get notifications of their grades.

There are no settings specific to offline assignments, just the general assignment settings outlined on [[Adding/editing_an_assignment|editing an assignment]].

Assignment module

2007-12-03T19:44:08Z

Misakmilan:

{{Assignments}}

[[Image:Assignment_Icon.gif]] The assignment module allows teachers to collect work from students, review it and provide feedback including grades.

Students can submit any digital content (files), including, for example, word-processed documents, spreadsheets, images, audio and video clips. Assignments don't necessarily have to consist of file uploads. Alternatively, teachers can ask students to type directly into Moodle using an [[Online text assignment|online text]] assignment. There is also an [[Offline activity assignment|offline activity ]] assignment which can be used to remind students of 'real-world' assignments they need to complete and to record grades in Moodle for activities that don't have an online component.

== Assignment Types ==
There are 4 types of assignments:
#[[Upload a single file assignment|Upload a single file]]
#[[Advanced uploading of files assignment|Advanced uploading of files]] (1.7 onwards) - options include: multiple file submission, allowing students to type a message alongside their submission & returning a file as feedback.
#[[Online text assignment|Online text]] - students type directly into Moodle, teachers can provide inline feedback.
#[[Offline activity assignment|Offline Activity]] - teachers provide a description and due date for an assignment outside of Moodle. A grade & feedback can be recorded in Moodle.

=== Iterative Assignments ===
It is possible to create iterative assignments - where the piece of work is graded by the teacher, re-edited by the student, re-graded and so on using either the [[Upload a single file assignment|single file]] or the [[Online text assignment|online text]] and setting 'Allow resubmitting' to 'Yes' in the assignment settings.

Upload a single file assignment

2007-12-03T19:40:32Z

Misakmilan:

{{Assignments}}

A student can upload a single file.

This could be a Word document, spreadsheet or anything in digital format. Multiple files may be zipped and then submitted. After students upload their files, the teacher will be able to open the submission and use the Moodle interface to assign a grade and offer comments as feedback.

==Settings==

These settings are in addition to the general assignment settings outlined on [[Adding/editing_an_assignment|editing an assignment]].

===Allow resubmitting===
By default, students cannot resubmit assignments once the teacher has graded them. If you turn this option on, then students will be allowed to resubmit assignments after they have been graded (for you to re-grade).

Advanced uploading of files assignment

2007-12-03T19:39:14Z

Misakmilan:

{{Assignments}}{{Moodle 1.7}}This type of assignment allows each student to upload one or more files in any format.

==Features==
*This type also allows teachers to send files back to students in response to their submissions. A typical way to use this would be to edit the student's submitted file by adding comments and/or corrections, and then returning this file back to the student via the assignment. When a student clicks on the assignment, files sent to him or her appear as a list of Response files.
Response files can be also uploaded before submission which can be used to give each student a different file to work with.
*Students may also enter notes describing the submitted files, progress status or any other text information.
*Submission of this type of assignment must be manually finalized by the student.
*Teachers can review the current status at any time, unfinished assignments are marked as Draft. Teachers can revert any ungraded assignment back to draft status.

==Settings==

These settings are in addition to the general assignment settings outlined on [[Adding/editing_an_assignment|editing an assignment]].

===Maximum size===
This setting specifies the maximum size (in total) of the file which the students can upload as their submission. If your students are uploading word processing documents or spreadsheets, typically you only need to allow for a few megabytes. If your students are submitting multimedia projects or other files with many images or audio clips, then the space allowed will need to be larger.

===Allow deleting===
If enabled, students may delete uploaded files at any time before submitting for grading.

===Maximum number of uploaded files===
Maximum number of files each participant may upload, this number is not shown to students, please write the actual number of requested files in assignment description.

===Allow notes===
If enabled, students may enter notes into text area associated with the assignment.

This text box can be used for communication with the grading person, assignment progress description or any other written activity.

===Hide description before available date===
If enabled, assignment description is hidden before the opening date.

===Email alerts to teachers===
If enabled, then teachers are alerted with a short email whenever students add or update an assignment submission.

Only teachers who are able to grade the particular submission are notified. So, for example, if the course uses separate groups, then teachers restricted to particular groups won't receive any notices about students in other groups.

Online text assignment

2007-12-03T19:37:35Z

Misakmilan:

{{Assignments}}

This assignment type asks students to submit text, using the normal Moodle editing tools.

Teachers can grade them online, and even add inline comments or changes. Online text assignments, together with [[Blogs]], have replaced the non-standard Journal module.

==Settings==

These settings are in addition to the general assignment settings outlined on [[Adding/editing_an_assignment|editing an assignment]].

===Allow resubmitting===
By default, students cannot resubmit assignments once the teacher has graded them. If you turn this option on, then students will be allowed to resubmit assignments after they have been graded (for you to re-grade). This may be useful if the teacher wants to encourage students to do better work in an iterative process.

===Email alerts to teachers===

Of course even if the teacher makes inline comments and changes, the student's original submission is kept intact.

If inline comments are not permitted, then the teacher will see the student’s submission and a separate area for making comments.

==Educational Benefits==

As reflective learning and formative assessment have a greater presence in education today, the online text assignment proves a useful way for students to record their thoughts and feelings about a particular topic or theme within the Moodle environment itself. Tutors can set up online text activities that ask students to reflect on both rhetorical or assigned questions depending on the learning outcome or goal.

Online text assignments can also be free spaces set up by the course tutor for students to reflect at moments of their own choosing within a course. It is perfectly acceptable to make use of the online text assignment as a private space for personal learning and reflection in some instances (ie. no tutor feedback) and as a collaborative space between tutor and student in others (ie. tutor feedback, comments and/or short discussions). Pedagogically, both methods of using the activity are good learning models for the former allows students a reflective space of their own to develop their ideas, whilst the latter gives them a space of private support with you that provides them with reliable feedback.

How you decide to monitor online text activities is, of course, up to you. The most significant element of monitoring is to provide students with clear guidance of when and how this will take place. For instance, if you do not plan to monitor the activity at all, be sure to inform the students that this is a private space for their own personal use (although tutors will be able to read entries) and be clear that no feedback will be provided. Alternatively, if you wish to make contributions in the form of feedback, be sure to inform the student that, for example, they can expect feedback and comments from you once a week or every two weeks. In terms of feedback and expectation levels, keeping communications between you and students very clear will ensure a level of trust necessary to build and maintain a community in your e-learning environment.
