Overview of this book

Moodle is a very popular e-learning tool in universities and high schools. But what does it have to offer younger students who want a fun, interesting, interactive, and informative learning experience? Moodle empowers teachers to achieve all this and more and this book will show you how! This book will show complete beginners in Moodle with no technical background how to make the most of its features to enhance the learning and teaching of children aged around 7-14. This is a practical book for teachers, written by a teacher with two decades of practical experience, latterly in using Moodle to motivate younger students. Its aim is to give you some hints and advice on how to get your Moodle courses up and running with useful content that your students will actually want to go and learn from on a regular basis. We will assume that you have an installation of Moodle managed by somebody else, so you are responsible only for creating and delivering course content. Throughout the book we will be building a course from scratch, adaptable for ages 7 to 14 on Rivers and Flooding It could be any topic, as Moodle lends itself to all subjects and ages.

Preface

Time for action-saving and uploading the movie into Moodle


We should really save our movie twice: once as a project file in case we want to edit it another time, as we did in Audacity, and again as a proper movie file for Moodle.

  1. 1. Go to File | Save Project As... and give your movie a name. This will be the project (draft) version, which you can edit again. This should end in .MSWMM and will work only on your own computer.

  2. 2. Follow the instructions given in the following table to save the file as a finished movie.

Note

The save process is slightly different according to which version of Windows Movie Maker you are using, and the Operating System that you are using—Windows XP or Vista. Either way, your finished file must end in .wmv.

Windows Vista
