<P>Sometimes, however, you will want to disable this ability. For | ||
example, this is useful for the News forum when you only want | ||
teachers to post new items that appear on the course main page. | ||
Students will still be able to REPLY to existing posts though. | ||
In this case you might choose the third option "No discussions, no replies". | ||

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Activity Modules</B></P> | ||
|
||
<P>Moodle contains a wide range of activity modules that can be used to | ||
build up any type of course.</P> | ||
|
||
<P><IMG VALIGN=absmiddle SRC="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>/mod/forum/icon.gif"> <B>Forums</B></P> | ||
<UL> | ||
<P>This activity can be the most important - it is here that most discussion takes place. | ||
Forums can be structured in different ways, and can include peer rating of each posting. | ||
The postings can be viewed in a variety for formats, and can include attachments. | ||
By subscribing to a forum, participants will receive copies of each new posting | ||
in their email. A teacher can impose subscription on everyone if they want to. | ||
</UL> | ||
|
||
<P><IMG VALIGN=absmiddle SRC="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>/mod/journal/icon.gif"> <B>Journals</B></P> | ||
<UL> | ||
<P>This module is a very important reflective activity. The teacher | ||
asks the student to reflect on a particular topic, and the student can | ||
edit and refine their answer over time. This answer is private and | ||
can only be seen by the teacher, who can offer feedback and a grade | ||
on each journal entry. It's usually a good idea to have about one | ||
Journal activity per week.</P> | ||
</UL> | ||
|
||
<P><IMG VALIGN=absmiddle SRC="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>/mod/resource/icon.gif"> <B>Resources</B></P> | ||
<UL> | ||
<P>Resources are content: information the teacher wants to bring into the | ||
course. These can be prepared files uploaded to the course | ||
server; pages edited directly in Moodle; or external web pages | ||
made to appear part of this course.</P> | ||
</UL> | ||
|
||
<P><IMG VALIGN=absmiddle SRC="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>/mod/assignment/icon.gif"> <B>Assignments</B></P> | ||
<UL> | ||
<P>Assignments allow the teacher to specify a task that requires students | ||
to prepare digital content (any format) and submit it by uploading it | ||
to the server. Typical assignments include essays, projects, reports | ||
and so on. This module includes grading facilities.</P> | ||
</UL> | ||
|
||
<P><IMG VALIGN=absmiddle SRC="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>/mod/quiz/icon.gif"> <B>Quizzes</B></P> | ||
<UL> | ||
<P>This module allows the teacher to design and set quiz tests, consisting of | ||
multiple choice, true-false, and short answer questions. These | ||
questions are kept in a categorised database, and can be re-used | ||
within courses and even between courses. Quizzes can allow | ||
multiple attempts. Each attempt is automatically marked, and the | ||
teacher can choose whether to give feedback or to show correct answers. | ||
This module includes grading facilities.</P> | ||
</UL> | ||
|
||
<P><IMG VALIGN=absmiddle SRC="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>/mod/choice/icon.gif"> <B>Choices</B></P> | ||
<UL> | ||
<P>A choice activity is very simple - the teacher asks a question and specifies a | ||
choice of multiple responses. It can be useful as a quick poll to | ||
stimulate thinking about a topic; to allow the class to vote on | ||
a direction for the course; or to gather research consent. | ||
</UL> | ||
|
||
<P><IMG VALIGN=absmiddle SRC="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>/mod/survey/icon.gif"> <B>Surveys</B></P> | ||
<UL> | ||
<P>The Survey module provides a number of verified survey instruments that | ||
have been found useful in assessing and stimulating learning in | ||
online environments. Teachers can use these to gather data from their | ||
students that will help them learn about their class and reflect | ||
on their own teaching.</P> | ||

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Quiz attempts</B></P> | ||
|

<P>Students may be allowed to have multiple attempts at a quiz. | ||

<P>This can help make the process of taking the quiz more of | ||
an educational activity rather than simply an assessment. |

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Question categories</B></P> | ||
|
||
<P>Rather than keeping all your questions in one big list, | ||
you can create categories to keep them in. | ||
|
||
<P>Each category consists of a name and a short description. | ||
|
||
<P>Each category can also be "published", which means | ||
that the category (and all questions in it) will be | ||
available to all courses on this server, so that | ||
other courses can use your questions in their quizzes. | ||
|
||
<P>Categories can also be created or deleted at will. | ||
However, if you try to delete a category containing | ||
questions, then you will be asked to specify another | ||
category to move them to. | ||

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Maximum grade</B></P> | ||
|

<P>The maximum grade you set for a quiz is what all grades | ||
are scaled to. | ||
|
||
<P>For example, you might set the max grade to 20, because the | ||
quiz is worth 20% of the whole course. | ||

<P>Even though you might have 10 questions in your quiz | ||
worth a total of 50 marks, all grades out of 50 will be | ||
"scaled down" to the quiz max grade of 20. |

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Multiple Choice questions</B></P> | ||
|
||
<P>In response to a question (that may include a image) the respondent | ||
chooses from multiple answers. There are two types of multiple choice | ||
questions - single answer and multiple answer. | ||
|
||
<P>Single-answer questions allow one and only one answer to be chosen. | ||
Generally all the grades for such a question should be positive. | ||
|
||
<P>Multiple-answer questions allow one or more answers to be chosen - each answer | ||
may carry a positive or negative grade, so that choosing ALL the options | ||
will not necessarily result in good grade. If the total grade is negative | ||
then the total grade for this question will be zero. Careful, it is | ||
possible to create questions that have scores greater than 100%. | ||
|
||
<P>Finally, each answer (right or wrong) should include feedback - this feedback | ||
will be shown to the respondent next to each of their answers (if the quiz | ||
itself is configured to show feedback). | ||
