Summary

In this chapter, we covered some essential elements that you will be using when working with Moodle Workplace and also throughout the book. You learned about the roles and responsibilities of the key stakeholders in Workplace. You further became familiar with the Workplace user interface, namely general user elements and actions, header elements, the dashboard, and course navigation. Finally, you learned about different help sources, both built-in and external.

Throughout this chapter, several core concepts, such as users, courses, and roles, among others, were mentioned without further explanation and, to a degree, taken for granted. If Moodle is all new to you, do not worry. You will be learning the key concepts of users, courses, roles, and any associated constructs in the Moodle primer in the next chapter. Once this has been dealt with, we can finally start working with the Moodle Workplace-specific features.
