Your videos have been the clearest, most comprehensive, and helpful for using Moodle that I have seen. Thank you! Can you tell me if Moodle has an archive feature? And I haven't heard you talk about the 'keep hidden' feature, though I haven't watched them all yet. Thank you again!
@ttvRussell4 жыл бұрын
I am not sure if there is an archive feature, I have never used it. As for 'keep hidden' that is just the way you can release content when the right moment comes. You may have the whole course created but then release the content each week.

Put your buttons inside a table. Create a table of one row only with say 4 columns. One button goes in each square.

Great videos! I am using the book feature for a content heavy course and think that is the solution. Question....I saw you make a button that links to the content in the book, activities, etc. I'd like to make the link to the book a better looking button. For example, the link to the book in module 2 is created but I'd like to make that link a button. The only thing I've been able to do is create a button in SnagIt and link it to the book - so they end up with two ways of entering the content because I can't hide the original link. Does that make sense? Can you help?
@valmorgan93932 жыл бұрын
I should clarify that I did not "see" you make the button to link to the content so it's a much better look - I see that your links are a great tool

@@ttvRussell So, with your assistance, I have begun developing my first books. I am linking Activities into the book (H5P, Assignments, Choice etc). The problem is, I now have a long list of activities, which are now in the book, showing in the topic area. Of course, if I hide the activities in the topic area, students are not able to see them in the book. Are my expectations too high to hope that there is a work around for this? If no, do you have one?

Russell, Help. I am a non technical content creator that needs to repurpose the content of a workshop with 40 modules, each representing a meeting. For each module/meeting I have used your suggestions to go with a flipped classroom (thank you so much) starting with a 20-30 min video lecture, the next section is the handouts (reading material and worksheets to be completed), and the final section is the instructions and ink to a Zoom call. Once we are live on Zoom, we will do a short discussion, answer questions about the lecture and readings, then go right to a series of exercises using the lecture and reading materials and multiple breackout rooms. The problem is the whole workshop has 40 modules broken in to three Parts. Part1 16 modules, Part2 16 modules, Part3 8 modules. We want to communicate that the workshop is made up of all 3Parts and all our volenteer staff know what is being presented by the long existing meeting numbers 1-40. As a result, we numbered the modules/meetings 1-40 in Moodle added all the content.... You can imagine how dated the material looks when offered in the standard Moodle theme. I explored using tiles within the Parts but the theme doesnt spport >12 moduled. We are kind of stuck with Moodle 3.9 because it was all the man who volenteers to manage our server kind of understands. One last desire but not reqirement, is that it would be wonerful if after we have released all the modules (1/week) the partisipants could physically print all the handouts and have them organized in a module by module = chapter structure. Could you be sooooooo kind as to point me towards a theme or structure that cold help, the worksop starts in a week and I am going crazy. Bless you.
