Slide: Title	Welcome to this spoken tutorial on Moodle 4.5 - Course Settings in Moodle.
Slide: Learning Objectives	In this tutorial, we will learn: How the teacher can configure Course Settings in Moodle How to add content for students How to view the course as a student
Slide: Target Audience	This tutorial is intended for teachers who want to configure their assigned courses in Moodle.
Slide: System Requirements This tutorial is recorded using: Ubuntu Linux OS version 22.04 Moodle version 4.5 Firefox browser You can use any OS or web browser of your choice.	Recorded with Ubuntu, Moodle 4.5, and Firefox. Use any OS or web browser of your choice.
Slide: Prerequisites To follow this tutorial, ensure you have: Moodle 4.5 installed and Teacher access to a course For the prerequisite Moodle tutorials, please visit https://EduPyramids.org	Here are the prerequisites of this tutorial.
Login as teacher	We are logged in as teacher Nitya Jeevan.
Screen: Moodle Dashboard (Teacher view)	Let’s begin by configuring the course settings for the course Calculus.
Click on Home → Calculus → point to Edit Mode	Click on Home. Click on Calculus. Ensure Edit Mode is ON.
Click Settings → Click Expand All	In the course menu, click on Settings and then on Expand All.
Section: General → Full name and Short name	Below General, you can edit the Full name and Short name of the course if you want to.
Section: General → Course visibility → Select Show	Use the Course visibility dropdown to Show or Hide the course.
Section: General → Course start date 15 June	Set the Start date as 15 June using the calendar picker.
Section: Description → Course Summary Type below the existing text: "The objective of this course is to familiarize the prospective engineers with techniques in calculus, multivariate analysis and linear algebra. It aims to equip the students with standard concepts and tools at an intermediate to advanced level that will serve them well towards tackling more advanced level of mathematics and applications that they would find useful in their disciplines. The students will learn: 1. To apply differential and integral calculus to notions of curvature and to improper integrals. Apart from some other applications they will have a basic understanding of Beta and Gamma functions. 2. The fallouts of Rolle's Theorem that is fundamental to application of analysis to Engineering problems. 3. The tool of power series and Fourier series for learning advanced Engineering Mathematics. 4. To deal with functions of several variables that are essential in most branches of engineering. 5. The essential tool of matrices and linear algebra in a comprehensive manner."	In the Summary box, let’s add some more introduction text about this course. Pause the video and type the following text or any text of your own.
Scroll down and point to Course Format settings section	Next, let’s look at Course format settings.
Field: Format dropdown → Weekly	Choose between Weekly, Single Activity or Social format.
Field: Course layout → All sections on one page	Decide if you want all topics on one page or one per page.
Section: Appearance	Scroll to the Appearance section.
Fields: Show gradebook, Show activity reports	Choose to Hide or Show the Gradebook and Activity reports to students.
Section: Files and uploads → Maximum upload size	Set the Maximum upload size for student submissions to a reasonable size. 20Mb is good.
Click Save and Return	Click Save and display.
Click Home → scroll to Calculus	Click Home and scroll to Calculus course to view what we have added.
Back to Course Page of Calculus course → Click “Add an activity or resource”	Now, let’s add some course materials to the Calculus course. Below Elementary Calculus, click Add an activity or resource.
Choose “Page” → click Expand All	Select Page from the list and click Expand All.
Name: Introduction to Calculus	In the Name field, type a suitable page title as shown.
Description: Limits, Derivatives, and Integrals	In the Description box, type a brief description.
Page Content: "The basic calculus course covers fundamental topics such as limits and continuity, the definition and applications of derivatives, and the fundamentals of integration, including the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. It emphasizes techniques for analyzing the behavior of functions, optimization problems, and the calculation of areas under curves, providing essential mathematical tools for advanced analysis."	Provide some more details about the course in the Page Content box.
Click Save and display	Click Save and display.
Click Elementary Calculus in the breadcrumbs → point to Introduction to Calculus	In the breadcrumbs, click Elementary Calculus. Notice a new page here. This is what you added.
Click Add an activity or resource → File.	To upload a file, click Add an activity or resource and File.
Name: Reading material for Introduction to Calculus Description: Mandatory Reading Adding Materials → Upload a Word file → choose this file after downloading it on your machine File:Course settings - File upload.pdf	Type a suitable name and brief description as shown. Then choose the file from your machine that you want to upload. And click Save and display.
Click Elementary Calculus in the breadcrumbs → point to Reading material for Introduction to Calculus	In the breadcrumbs, click Elementary Calculus. Notice a new file here. This is what you added.
Click Math-101 in the breadcrumbs → scroll → check Elementary Calculus	Now click Math-101 in the breadcrumbs. Scroll and check Elementary Calculus course to view all the additions.
Click Announcements → Add Discussion Topic → Subject: All Students Message: “Please check the announcements regularly” → Click Post to Forum	To post an announcement, click Announcements. Click Add Discussion Topic. Type Subject line and Message. And click Post to Forum.
Top-right menu → Switch role to....	Now let’s preview the course as a student.
Choose student	Click the user icon, click Switch role to... and select student.
Announcement appears in student view → click Math-101 in the breadcrumbs	You can now view how students view the announcements. And here is the course content.
Switch back	Switch back by clicking on Return to my normal role.
	This is how we do the basic configurations of a course as a teacher!
Slide: Summary To summarise, we learnt: How the teacher can configure settings of a course How to add content How to post an announcement How to view the course as a student	Here is the summary of this tutorial.
Slide: Assignment As an assignment, Configure the course named Advanced Algebra using all the settings we explored (This course should already be assigned to teacher Nitya by the Site Administrator) Use the details provided in the Assignment.txt file provided in the Code Files link	We encourage you to try out this assignment using the Assignment.txt file provided in the Code Files link.
