Template:Moodle site - basic structure
Please refer to these notes before editing this page.
Moodle's basic interface structure is organized around courses. For a teacher or student, this is similar to a computers file system or a paper filing cabinet. A Context in Moodle is a location in the structure. Moodle assists the user to navigate and view/edit/create pages.
- The Moodle site - the largest context, the entire file cabinet.
- Category - A place to organize courses, a file drawer
- Front Page - A special course, with it's own file drawer
- Course - A place to enroll users, a large hanging file folder in a file drawer
- Course sections/topics - A way to visually organize Activities and Resources - a special type of folder in a course
- Activities - Interactive tools the teacher can place in a course - each is a different colored folders placed in a topic
- Resources - Passive tools that may link to other places - a different colored folders placed in a topic
- Blocks - Areas in a course that are not visually in a topic- has its own colored folder in a course.
- Pages - visually what is seen at any moment, individual sheets of paper filed away.
- What the user can do or see, depends upon their role in any specific context. Thus a teacher will see pages in a different way than a student. For example, a student can not see the "Editing and updating Quiz" page in the Features Moodle Course, in topic 8, for a quiz activity calleed "A listening quiz". However, both a student and teacher can view and interact with different question pages in that quiz activity.
