Short: Many institutions write a name referring to their course. ID number: This is for the Administration. Summary: The summary appears on the course listings page. Format
Weekly format: The course is organized week by week, with a clear start date and a finish date. Moodle will create a section for each week of your course. You can add content, forums, quizzes, and so on in the section for each week.
TIP: If you want all your students to work on the same materials at the same time, this would be a good format to choose. Topics format: The course is organized into topic sections. Each topic section consists of activities.
Social format: This format is oriented around one main forum, the social forum, which appears listed on the main page. It is useful for situations that are more free form. LAMS course format: The Learning Activity Management System is an open source LMS which allows teachers to use a flash based authoring environment for developing learning sequences. LAMS has been integrated with Moodle to allow teachers to develop LAMS activities within a Moodle course. This course format makes LAMS central to the course, only displaying the LAMS interface.
Number of weeks/topics: This setting is only used by the 'weekly' and 'topics' course formats. In the 'weekly' format, it specifies the number of weeks that the course will run for, starting from the course starting date. In the 'topics' format, it specifies the number of topics in the course. Both of these translate to the number of "boxes" down the middle of the course page.
Course start date: This is where you specify the starting time of the course (in your own time zone). The first week will start on the date you set here when you use the "Weekly" course format. This setting will not affect courses using the 'social' or 'topics' formats. Hidden sections: This option allows you to decide how the hidden sections in your course are displayed to students. S how grades: Many of the activities allow grades to be set. By default, the results of all grades within the course can be seen in the Grades page, available from the main course page for students and teachers.
TIP: If a teacher is not interested in using grades in a course, or just wants to hide grades from students, then they can disable the display of grades with this option. This does not prevent the teacher using or setting grades for an individual activities, it just disables the results from being displayed to students. Show activity reports: Activity reports are available to each student. These reports or logs show their activity and contributions in the current course. These reports include their detailed access log.
Maximum upload size: This setting defines the largest size of file that can be uploaded by students in this course. The site administrator can determine sizes available for the teacher to select. Instructors should be aware of a course's file structure.
Note: Files of huge sizes (50MB and above) should put it on their data center account and link to it through Moodle To request a data center account, please contact Mr. Mohammed Kamal <[email protected] > It is possible to further restrict this size through settings within each activity module.
