|-
|
| And that’s how the '''teacher''' enrolls '''students''' manually in her '''course''' and communicates with them in '''Moodle'''!

|-
| Login as mahima.singh

| Now, let’s '''logout''' and '''login''' as '''student Mahima'''.

|-
| Dashboard → at the top right → bell icon → point to 4

|-
| Dashboard → at the top right → callout icon → point to 4 → point to Private

It says 1 next to it.

That’s because the '''teacher''' has sent a total of 1 message to '''Mahima'''.

|-
| Click the callout icon → sidebar expands

Then click the left arrow to collapse the message.

|-
| '''Slide: Important Information'''

It depends on the '''student’s access rights''' and the '''context''' at which the notes have been '''set'''.

The '''students''' get '''email notifications''' for each note sent by the '''teacher'''.

|-
|
| So that’s how '''students''' view '''notifications''' and '''messages''' in '''Moodle'''!

|-
| '''Slide: Summary'''

To summarise, in this tutorial, we learnt how a '''teacher''' can:
* Enroll '''students''' into a '''course'''

Depending on the '''settings configured''' by the '''Site Administrator''', the '''note''' could be visible to other '''managers''' and '''teachers''' in this '''course'''.

|-
|
| And that’s how the '''teacher''' enrolls '''students''' manually in her '''course''' and communicates with them in '''Moodle'''!

|-
| Login as mahima.singh
Password Mahima@123
| Now, let’s '''logout''' and '''login''' as '''student Mahima'''.

|-
| Dashboard → at the top right → bell icon → point to 4
| On the '''Dashboard''', at the top right, look at the '''bell''' icon.

It says 4 next to it.

That’s because '''Moodle''' sent a total of 4 '''notifications''' to '''Mahima'''.

|-
| Click the bell icon
| Click on the '''bell''' icon to view the '''subject line''' of the '''notifications'''.

|-
| Click View full notification
| Click '''View full notification''' to read each full message.

|-
| Click each notification one by one
| While you are on this page, you can navigate through all the notifications one by one.

|-
| Dashboard → at the top right → callout icon → point to 4 → point to Private
| On the '''Dashboard''', at the top right, look at the '''callout''' icon.

It says 1 next to it.

That’s because the '''teacher''' has sent a total of 1 message to '''Mahima'''.

Also, the message is listed below '''Private'''.

|-
| Click the callout icon → sidebar expands
| Click on the '''callout''' icon.

Immediately the '''sidebar''' expands and we can view a few words of the message the '''teacher''' sent.

Also the message is listed below '''Private'''.

|-
| Click right arrow → click left arrow
| Click the right arrow to expand and read the whole message.

Then click the left arrow to collapse the message.

|-
| '''Slide: Important Information'''
| Unlike '''announcements''' or '''forum posts''', '''notes''' are not visible publicly on the '''course page''' for '''students'''.

It depends on the '''student’s access rights''' and the '''context''' at which the '''notes''' have been '''set'''.

The '''students''' get '''email notifications''' for each '''note''' sent by the '''teacher'''.

|-
|
| So that’s how '''students''' view '''notifications''' and '''messages''' in '''Moodle'''!

|-
| '''Slide: Summary'''

To summarise, in this tutorial, we learnt how a '''teacher''' can:
* Enroll '''students''' into a '''course'''
* Assign '''Student''' role to a '''registered user'''
* Send a message to all '''students'''
* Add notes for '''students'''
| Here is the summary of this tutorial.

|-
| '''Slide: Assignment'''

As an assignment:

* In the '''“Advanced Algebra”''' course, add a personal note to '''student Amina''' - Please help the new student '''Mahima''' with your class notes to get her familiar with what has already been covered in the course.

* Keep the '''Context''' as '''course'''.
| We encourage you to try out this assignment.

'''Question text: Steps are given to determine the centre of curvature at a given point on a conic.

Arrange the steps:

i) Let P be the given point on the conic and F is the focus.
ii) Join P with F.
iii) Draw a line NR perpendicular to PN and cutting PF or PF-extended at R.
iv) Draw a line RO perpendicular to PR and cutting PN-extended at O which is centre of curvature.'''
| Fill in the '''question name''' and '''question text'''.

|-
| Point per narration
| Question status is '''Ready''' and the '''Default mark''' is 1.

| Now we come to the '''Answers''' section.

Here we have to give 4 choices for the '''MCQ''', of which one will be the right answer.

The choice with the right answer will have '''Grade''' as 100% for '''single answer MCQ'''.

You can vary this % for '''multiple correct answers MCQ'''.

Just ensure that the total % for that question adds up to 100%.

|-

'''Assignment Name: Assignment 2 - Evolutes and Involutes'''
* Copy-paste the text given in assignment.txt file in the Code files link.
* Follow the other steps given therein also.
* The following should be posted in assignment.txt file.
** Question 1: Can two different curves have the same involute curve?
** Question 2: Check the lecture available on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xgtMQ7WSzQ
** At around 12:00, the lecturer says let P and Q be two points on any curve, draw normals at both points. As Q approaches P, the point of intersection of the two normals will eventually stabilize. He goes on to say the limit of the point of intersection is the osculating centre at P. If Q is at P, then the two normals will be co-incident. Hence, when Q is almost at P, shouldn't the two lines almost be parallel, and hence the limit of the point of intersection at infinity? Explain this scenario.
* Activity instructions: Both questions have to be answered. Each assignment is for 10 marks. Your score will be included under Internal Assessments for this semester.
* Setting: Availability
** Allow submissions from: 25 June 2025
** Due date: 20 July 2025
** Cut-off date: leave blank
