Overview of this book

Schools, colleges and universities all over the world are installing Moodle, but many educators aren’t making much use of it. With so many features, it can be a hassle to learn – and with teachers under so much pressure day-to-day, they cannot devote much time to recreating all their lessons from scratch.This book provides the quickest way for teachers and trainers to get up and running with Moodle, by turning their familiar teaching materials into a Moodle e-learning course.This book shows how to bring your existing notes, worksheets, resources and lesson plans into Moodle quickly and easily. Instead of exploring every feature of Moodle, the book focuses on getting you started immediately – you will be turning your existing materials into Moodle courses right from the start.The book begins by showing how to turn your teaching schedule into a Moodle course, with the correct number of topics and weeks. You will then see how to convert your resources – documents, slideshows, and worksheets, into Moodle. You will learn how to format them in a way that means students will be able to read them, and along the way plenty of shortcuts to speed up the process.By the end of Chapter 3, you will already have a Moodle course that contains your learning resources in a presentable way. But the book doesn’t end there– you will also see how to use Moodle to accept and assess coursework submissions, discuss work with students, and deliver quizzes, tests, and video. Throughout the book, the focus is on getting results fast – moving teaching material online so that lessons become more effective for students, and less work for you.

Chapter 3. Adding Documents and Handouts

Your new Moodle course is configured and ready to have your teaching materials uploaded onto it. Now let's make a start! In this chapter, we will cover:

  • Uploading files to Moodle and how to organize them effectively

  • How to present documents and handouts to students

  • Uploading images and how to include them in any text

  • Understanding which types of file are best to include in a course, and how to create them. We will also be learning how to convert departmental documentation into a wiki, which you and your colleagues can work on collaboratively.

By the end of this chapter, you will have populated your course with static content ready for your students to access. Clearly, our aim is to create more appealing and interactive courses and my describing resources as "static content" may not sound that inspiring but, as you'll see in this and subsequent chapters, there's plenty we can do with our "static" resources to make them engaging and entertaining...
