'''Table of Contents'''
'''Table of Contents - a map of pages and templates'''


Below is (only) the Table of Contents. This is basically a map of pages and templates that appear on (some of) them.  
The Table of Contents below is a map of pages and templates that appear on (some of) them.  


Imagine a template (box of links on the right side seen here) on the page for each indented item. For example (using the table below), Page 1. will have a template with items 1.1.1 - 1.1.7, page 1.1.4 will have items 1.1.4.1 - 1.1.4.4 etc).
Imagine a template (box of links on the right side, [https://docs.moodle.org/en/forum example]) on the page for each indented item. For example (using the table below), Page 1. will have a template with items 1.1.1 - 1.1.7, page 1.1.4 will have items 1.1.4.1 - 1.1.4.4 etc).


If we want a stricter control over templates as the organising feature of Table of Contents, we could perhaps lock it and only a few people can make changes to keep a reasonable structure (will help in cloning new version wikis).

This section is about managing things the entire site. It contains
information about many features only Moodle Admin can manipulate but which may be
of use to users, particularly teachers and administrative staff in various
organisations (eg. managers), [[Category:Administrator]] - useful as a reference point & see what Docs exists but
make Moodle 2 relevant!
==Basic structure of a Moodle site==
create this, links nicely with glossary above; stuff like context, role,
course, category etc but KEEP IT SIMPLE and use DIAGRAMS, examples
Something along the lines of [http://www.slideshare.net/mark.drechsler/moodle-structural-overview these slides].
These will be very short, introductory, pointing to parts where we expand on each
(eg. from 'Roles' to 'Roles and permissions' section
====Context====
====Context====

Admins create though)

Moodle 2 Docs objectives

  • Have a set of clear, user-friendly Docs for people to contribute to and read.
  • Have a broad structure/overview (including a Table of Contents below) to:
- make it easy to clone/archive for each future version of Moodle and its dedicated Docs wiki.
- make it easier for community members to see where to create and find content (while free to edit and add pages, of course).
- make it easier to see what documentation is missing/outdated/irrelevant
- make it easier to link page URLs in Moodle releases to appropriate Docs page

Table of Contents - a map of pages and templates

The Table of Contents below is a map of pages and templates that appear on (some of) them.

Imagine a template (box of links on the right side, example) on the page for each indented item. For example (using the table below), Page 1. will have a template with items 1.1.1 - 1.1.7, page 1.1.4 will have items 1.1.4.1 - 1.1.4.4 etc).

If we want a stricter control over templates as the organising feature of Table of Contents, we could perhaps lock them and only a few people can make changes to keep a reasonable structure (will help in cloning new version wikis).

The useful links in creating each page (check the initial Docs 2.0 draft) will be inserted into page comments for each page to help community members build the wiki but with information customised for Moodle 2.x.

Templates for activities explained:

  • 'Activity' Settings

Corresponds with Settings [block]-> 'Activity' administration menu -> Edit settings, hence the name used. Include permissions.

This is the first stage (add/update) of two-step activities (Database, Lesson, Feedback, Quiz).

Guide the user through the options available ON THIS PAGE ONLY, before they click 'Save and display'.

  • Building 'Activity' (Database, Lesson, Feedback and Quiz only)

What the creator (eg. teacher) needs to know after the initial setup ('Activity' settings) in building the activity before it is opened to participants (eg. students).

  • Using 'Activity'

Everything AFTER the activity is open to participants. Things like viewing, posting, grading, results, analysis, reports, good practices, examples, pedagogical implications.

This should provide enough 'room' for community members to create new pages and content without being too prescriptive in what they should write.

Strange remarks

Legend to remarks, temporary only from a doc that helps (Tomaz) keep track of what (template) links to what. These will be deleted in the final wiki.

[P] = Primary article
[link] = Link to primary article. No editing here, only edit the primary article [P].
[RD] = Redirect. From similar (sounding) articles.
[Eq. to …] = Equivalent to ...

Introduction to Moodle

About Moodle

About_Moodle - intro, links in menu to existing Background,
add Features

Philosophy

existing Philosophy - links nicely into five_key_principles,

License

existing License,

Usage

existing Usage and update info useful - Large_installations

Versions of Moodle

basic text at Teacher_documentation#Versions_of_Moodle, can draw on Moodle_version_history  and Release Notes

[Current, eg. Moodle 2.1] Release Notes

existing Release Notes , adjust for each release

Moving to Moodle 2

Upgrading_to_Moodle_2.0 - GU, Feb 11, more for Admins but some useful info here for teachers to be aware of (eg. some 3rd party mods 
n/a etc) need a doc with main differences between Moodle 1.x and 2 (maybe need one earlier, not just here...), list of main issues people 
need to be aware of when moving 1.9 to 2.0, even examples, links to discussions?

Future versions

existing Future, update to reflect CURRENT plans 

Glossary of Moodle terms

need one, link Glossary of common terms - GU, 
urgent update needed, many key Moodle 2 items not there

Moodle community

basic text at Teacher_documentation

Moodle.org forums

overview of forums at Moodle.org and how to use them, see any related pages

Moodle Docs

Only a brief overview, launchpad for menu/template items
Docs MoodleDocs:Guidelines_for_contributors - very useful
How to use Moodle Docs
Write in line with NEW wiki, not old. How to find things, search, browse, navigate, Table of Contents etc.
How to contribute to Moodle Docs
Docs MoodleDocs:Guidelines_for_contributors - very useful, but keep in mind Moodle Docs article - avoid (over)duplication
MoodleDocs FAQ
Moodle_documentation_FAQ - P, 

QA Testing

Getting your Moodle [P]

Roughly the main start-up items here. They should all inform the reader what to do 
before they install Moodle and during installation. Once Moodle is successfully 
installed the person can move on to info in the next main topic 'Managing your 
Moodle' 

Download packages

link to Downloads page and explain the basics, put in useful links

Installation guide

Installing_Moodle_2.0 - very similar to Installing_Moodle
see existing Docs on Apache, IIS, PHP, MySQL, 
User_site_capacities , PHP_settings_by_Moodle_version, Installing_Apache,_MySQL_and_PHP and more
many of these terms could simply go in the Glossary of Moodle terms
much duplication in the existing menu at Installing_Moodle clean up the structure,
useful menu items there, useful list of links but please CHECK for quality and relevance to Moodle 2 

Moodle directory

useful Moodle_site_moodle_directory, check for any changes in Moodle 2	

Moodle site database

useful -> Create_Moodle_site_database - changes in Moodle 2?

Moodle site data directory

Moodledata_directory - G, Moodle 2 specific, use it!

Installation FAQ

Installation_FAQ - Include installation troubleshoot, common problems, point to [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=28 Installation 
Problems] forum !? Some troubleshooting already at Installing_Moodle#Troubleshooting,
CHECK for accuracy of info relating to Moodle 2
consider breaking up FAQ page into sections (eg. before installation, troubleshooting, upgrading ...)
consider also a range of installation guides for different systems, examples:
Step by Step Installation on a Mac OS X Server
Step-by-step Guide for Installing Moodle on Mac OS X 10.4 Client
Step-by-step Install Guide for Debian
Step-by-step Install Guide for Ubuntu using apt-get

(eg. registered sites stats, versions running...). Mention that registration of site = registration on MOOCH.

Free Moodle

M, often asked for! Need a page

Choosing a web host

Finding_and_Selecting_A_Web_Host - GU, Aug 10, detailed, check for currency and accuracy of this information!

Hosting_for_moodle_admins - GU, 09, the 'basic' page, solid
Hosting_for_moodle_admins_advanced - incorporate this with [[Hosting_for_moodle_admins really...

Managing a Moodle site [P]

This section is about managing things the entire site. It contains 
information about many features only Moodle Admin can manipulate but which may be 
of use to users, particularly teachers and administrative staff in various 
organisations (eg. managers), - useful as a reference point & see what Docs exists but
make Moodle 2 relevant!

Basic structure of a Moodle site

create this, links nicely with glossary above; stuff like context, role, 
course, category etc but KEEP IT SIMPLE and use DIAGRAMS, examples
Something along the lines of these slides.
These will be very short, introductory, pointing to parts where we expand on each 
(eg. from 'Roles' to 'Roles and permissions' section

Context

Context - OU, Nov 09, 1.8 VI, update this, simplify, some info useful

Role [link -> 'Roles and permissions' section]

Category

M! We DON'T have a page dedicated to Categories yet! I suppose this one is IT -> 
Add/edit_course_categories - OU, Oct 10, some useful general 
info on categories,  Admin but good for teacher to know what they are and how they 
work borrow from/link to 

Course [link -> 'Managing courses']

Front page [link -> 'Front page' section]

Navigation

Brief intro, mention main navigation options, mention that using 'Back' button may not refresh 
eg. the latest forum posts.

Navigation block

Navigation_block - G, Jan 11, Moodle 2 specific (of course :D )
Structure of a Moodle site - forum thread, started 
by Tim Hunt see anything else related in

Navigation bar

Navigation_bar redirect from Breadcrumbs - OU, 08, a screenshot would help plus explanation of changes in Moodle 2 since 1.x 

Custom menu items

M, need a page on Custom menu items - really part of Themes but essentially a good way to navigate hence the inclusion here. Link from themes to here. 

Navigation display

Navigation display - M, need a page, perhaps an annotated screenshot of Site administration->Appearance->Navigation page
create a page with screenshots, provide/extend the context on that screen for each item, see the same thing for Blog and Calendar 

Editing settings

extract from Adding/editing_a_course, mention Settings block (new in Moodle 2), basics of editing, the turn edit on-change/create-set cycle...

Settings block

Settings_block - GU, Nov 10, rightfully mentions Context but Context page needs work, Context described in-depth elsewhere under Manage site

'Turn editing on' button

Turn_editing_on - OU, Dec 08, basic OK, icons mentioned, update to reflect Moodle 2, mention 'advanced web features' (Ajax) 

Editing icons and menus

shown and described Adding/editing_a_course#Editing_a_course,
M, no special page(s) on what each icon does or menu (eg. Add a resource...), would be useful. Include new items (eg. Ajax/Adv web button) not
included at Adding/editing_a_course#Editing_a_course 

My Profile

customisable, point location in Navigation,
Moodle_2.0_release_notes#User_profile_pages - pointers, handy
View_profile - Jan 11, Admin-focused but some aspects useful,
we need some images and examples, link to 

My Moodle

My_Moodle - OU, Feb 11, needs an update to reflect big changes in Moodle 2, user customisation possible etc

what can be done with Moodle

Browse_list_of_users -OU, Jul 09, basics OK, mention different views in Moodle 2, new screenshot

menu, in intro already flag how pedagogically useful and powerful they can be, 
link to Useful_things_a_teacher_can_do_with_roles and more ... import from 
other parts of this doc

Uses of roles

Useful_things_a_teacher_can_do_with_roles is a start but this one needs expanding to really take Moodle 2 roles for a ride!

Permissions

Role_permissions - OU, Jul 08, 1.7 VI (!),  
although flagged in Roles need a separate page since we are bunching Roles & Permissions together in this section. Just 
a basic intro will do!

Assign_roles - GU, Feb 11, useful info but a bit ... disorganised, equal headings make it difficult
Override_permissions - G, May 10, copy but check and leave mostly as is
need to match Assign system roles item in the menu, new wiki page for this and include on the menu on Manage_roles 
Risks - OU, Nov 09, any more than these? Include 'how to recognise' &

Override_permissions - G, May 10, copy but check and leave mostly as is
sample non-standard roles (maybe this would be better in Manage course roles and permissions section...teachers use, 
Admins create though)
Useful_things_a_teacher_can_do_with_roles - GU, Oct 10, excellent, can add more examples, link to them? 
Inspector_role - for providing external inspectors with permission to view all courses (without being required to enrol)
Parent_role - for providing parents/mentors/tutors with permission to view certain information about their children/mentees/tutees
[[[Useful_things_a_teacher_can_do_with_roles]] - GU, Oct 10, good collection, maybe add, link to example(s)

this, a few similar 'course xyz' references...?

Course overview block

Course overview - no Docs page yet, create following the format, show example, mention this block is available on MyMoodle (My Home) - the nomenclature 
is really getting a little confusing, not all blocks user has access to show up in all places... 

Course/Site description block

Course/site_description_block - OU, Mar 09, pic there, include link to example, creative uses (?) especially for larger installs. 'Site' part?

Feedback block

activity in Moodle 2 core, more info there really. Tested the block - shows nothing but a link to Feedback. Right? Check...

anywhere...

Random_Glossary_Entry_block - OU, Jan 09, format 'how to' with other blocks, include example of use, pic there but update, use another,
use pics to show possibility of embedding pics (eg. staff list), video (eg. festival) - opens different purposes

Recent blog entries - new in Moodle 2, construct the page according to the format for Moodle Docs on blocks, basic info there for now
