01:35 | I have already added a student, Priya Sinha, to my course. |
01:41 | Switch to the browser and login to your moodle site as a teacher. |
01:48 | Click on the Calculus course in the left navigation menu. |

06:45 | I will select Text as the Style of navigation. |
06:49 | Next, click on Restrict Access section to expand it.
This helps us decide who has access to this resource. |

07:08 | Let me click on the Add restriction button. |
07:12 | There are some options here. You can read the explanation of each one and decide which restriction to select. |
07:21 | We’ll put an activity completion condition for the URL resource we created earlier. |
07:27 | Let us restrict access to this book till a student marks that as complete. |
07:33 | Click on Activity completion. Depending on the option we choose for restriction, the fields here will be different. |
07:42 | Choose Evolutes of basic curve in the Activity completion dropdown.
Then select Must be marked complete as the condition. |

08:38 | Notice there are 4 icons on the right in the Table of Contents block, below the Introduction chapter. |
08:46 | Edit, Delete, Hide and Add new chapter. |
08:55 | Let me add a subchapter now. Click on the plus icon indicating Add new chapter.

09:49 | The up and down arrows are to reorder the chapters. |
09:54 | Let us see what happens when we move this subchapter up.
Click on the Up arrow. |
10:01 | Notice that Introduction now becomes the 2nd chapter instead of a subchapter. |
10:08 | Move it back as first chapter again. |
10:11 | How do we make Classical evolutes and involutes as a subchapter again?
Click on the gear icon below the title to edit it. |
10:21 | Now click on the Subchapter checkbox to make it a subchapter. |
10:26 | Scroll down and click on Save changes button. |
10:30 | Let us go back to the Calculus course again. |
10:34 | We now have the below resources for the topic Basic Calculus |
10:40 | We can reorder these resources by dragging them. |
10:45 | Let me drag Evolutes of Basic curves URL resource, above the other two. |
10:52 | There is an Edit link to the right of every resource. Click on it. |
10:58 | There are settings to edit, hide, duplicate and delete the resource.
These are self-explanatory. |
11:09 | There are 2 other options: Move right and Assign roles. |
11:14 | Click on Move right.
This will give a little indentation to the resource. |
11:21 | This is helpful for visual representation of a resource which is a part of another resource. |
11:28 | I will click on Move left to bring this resource back to its original position. |
11:34 | We can now logout of Moodle. |
11:38 | Let me login as student Priya Sinha now. |
11:41 | This is how student Priya Sinha will view this page. |
11:46 | Notice that the completion boxes are not ticked the first time. |
11:51 | She will need to view this URL to mark this resource as complete. |
11:56 | And the book resource is not clickable till the URL resource is marked complete. |
12:02 | Let me click on Evolutes of basic curves resource. |
12:07 | Now click on Calculus link in the breadcrumb.
The resource is now marked complete and the book is available to the student. |
