|'''Time'''
|'''Narration'''

|-
| 00:01
| Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on '''Admin’s dashboard '''in''' Moodle.'''

|-
| 00:07
| In this tutorial, we will learn about:

Various '''blocks''' on the '''Admin’s dashboard '''
'''Admin’s profile page '''and How to edit '''preferences'''

|-
| 00:22
| To record this tutorial I am using:

'''Ubuntu Linux OS 16.04'''

'''Apache, MariaDB '''and''' PHP''' obtained through''' XAMPP 5.6.30'''

'''Moodle 3.3 ''' and And '''Firefox '''web browser

|-
| 00:46
| You may use any web browser of your choice.

|-
| 00:50
| However, '''Internet Explorer''' should be avoided, as it causes some display inconsistencies.

|-
| 00:59
| Learners of this tutorial should have '''Moodle 3.3''' installed on their system.If not, please refer to the relevant''' Moodle''' tutorials on this website.

|-
| 01:13
| Switch to the browser and open your '''moodle site.''' Make sure that the '''XAMPP service''' is running.

|-
| 01:21
| You can see a blank page with only the headers. This is because we have not set any '''front page '''for our installation.

|-
| 01:33
| Click on '''Log in''' link at the top right corner of the window.

|-
| 01:39
| Log in using your '''admin username '''and '''password''' that you had given when you installed '''Moodle'''.

|-
| 01:47
| I will enter '''admin''' as the '''username''' and '''Spokentutorial1@ '''as the '''password'''. Then click on '''Log in''' button.

|-
| 01:59
| The page that we see now is called the '''dashboard'''.

|-
| 02:04
| We can see that our '''dashboard''' is divided into 2 columns.

|-
| 02:08
|The wider one on the left, is the main '''Content column. '''

|-
| 02:13
|The one on the right is the '''Blocks column'''.

|-
|02:17
|'''Blocks''' are items in these '''columns,''' that serve a specific purpose or information.

|-
|02:25
|'''Blocks''' are found on all pages of '''Moodle'''.
You can think of them as shortcuts to critical parts of your course.

|-
| 02:35
| For eg. '''Private Files''', '''Online Users''', '''Course Overview '''etc. are the '''blocks''' on my '''dashboard'''.

|-
| 02:46
| Notice that there are no activities or courses here.

|-
| 02:50
|This is because we have not created any course yet.

|-
| 02:56
|A list of all courses will be seen- if a user (i.e a teacher or student or admin) is enrolled or assigned a role in courses.

|-
| 03:08
|Also notice that the '''Online Users block''' shows '''Admin User''', which is our current login.

|-
| 03:17
|This '''block '''shows all the '''logged in users '''at any given point of time.

|-
| 03:24
| Every '''block''' in '''Moodle '''has a specific purpose. We can add '''blocks''' to any '''column''' of any '''page''' in '''Moodle'''.

|-
| 03:34
| Let us now look at the '''header''' of the '''page'''.

|-
| 03:38
|On the top left corner, we can see a '''Navigation Drawer '''or''' Navigation menu.'''This helps us to access '''Calendar''' and other '''Administration''' links. This is a '''toggle menu.'''

|-
| 03:55
|Which means it changes its '''status '''from '''open '''to '''close '''and vice-versa, when clicked.

|-
| 04:04
| We then have the placeholder for the '''logo'''.

|-
| 04:08
|By default, this is the '''short site name. ''' Clicking on this, will get us to the '''dashboard''' from any '''page'''.

|-
| 04:18
| At the top right, there are quick access icons for '''notifications''' and '''messages'''.

|-
| 04:26
| Next to that is the drop-down '''user menu'''. It is also called the '''quick access user menu'''.

|-
| 04:35
|We will discuss the '''Profile '''and '''Preferences page '''in brief in this tutorial.

|-
| 04:41
|All these '''menu items''' are also''' toggle menus''', similar to the one on the left.

|-
| 04:48
| Next, click on the '''Profile''' link.

|-
| 04:52
| Every user in '''Moodle''' has a '''profile page'''.

|-
|04:57
|It has links to allow '''users''' to edit their profile information view their '''forum''' or '''blog posts'''

|-
| 05:07
| check any '''reports''' they have access to and view their '''access logs''' and the '''IP address''' that was used to login the last time.

|-
| 05:18
| Now let’s click on the '''Edit Profile''' link. The '''Edit Profile page''' opens up.

|-
| 05:26
|This page is divided into 5 sections:

'''General'''

'''User Picture'''

'''Additional Names'''

'''Interests'''

'''Optional'''

|-
| 05:39
|The '''General section''' is expanded, by default.

|-
| 05:43
|Clicking on any '''section''' name expands or collapses it.

|-
| 05:49
|The '''‘Expand all’ '''link on the right, expands all the '''sections'''.

|-
| 05:55
| All fields here are editable.

|-
| 05:59
|Let’s add '''City / Town. '''I will type '''Mumbai.'''

|-
| 06:04
|Ensure that '''India''' is selected in the '''Select a country''' dropdown. And, '''timezone '''is set to '''Asia/Kolkata'''

|-
| 06:13
|Only '''Admins''' can change '''password''' from this profile page.

|-
| 06:18
| Let me add a few fields in the '''Optional''' section.

|-
| 06:22
|I will enter '''IIT Bombay '''in the '''Institution '''field. Also, '''Mathematics '''in '''Department''' and a valid phone number in the '''Phone number''' field.

|-
| 06:36
| Then click on '''Update Profile '''button to save the page.

|-
| 06:42
| Now click on the '''quick access user menu''' at the top right, again.
Click on the '''Preferences''' link.

|-
| 06:51
|The Preferences page gives users quick access to various settings they may wish to edit.

|-
| 06:59
| '''Preferences''' page for an '''admin account '''is divided into 4 '''sections''':

'''User account,'''
'''Roles,'''
'''Blogs, '''and '''Badges'''

|-
| 07:12
| The '''User Account section''' allows the '''user '''to '''Edit Profile''' and '''Change Password'''.

|-
| 07:19
|It also sets '''preferences '''for '''Language, Forum, Calendar, Message, Notification, '''etc.

|-
| 07:30
| Let’s click on the '''Calendar preferences'''.

|-
| 07:34
| We will set the '''calendar''' to display time in 24 hour format.

|-
| 07:40
| Also, we will set the '''Upcoming events look-ahead''' to 2 weeks.

|-
| 07:46
|This means we’ll see notifications for all events happening in the next 2 weeks on the calendar.

|-
| 07:55
| I want to highlight the '''help '''icon next to all the fields.

|-
| 08:00
|Clicking on this, will open a '''help box '''with a short description of what the '''field '''stands for.

|-
| 08:08
|When in doubt about any '''field''', always click on the '''help '''icon to understand its significance.

|-
| 08:16
| Let all the other options remain as they are. Click on '''Save Changes '''button.

|-
| 08:23
| We will go through the rest of the preferences when we discuss those features later in this series.

|-
| 08:30
| Notice the information here.

|-
| 08:33
|This is the '''breadcrumb navigation.''' It’s a visual aid that indicates which page we are on, within the '''Moodle site'''’s hierarchy.

|-
| 08:45
| It helps us to go back to a higher-level page with a single click.

|-
| 08:51
| Click on the '''Dashboard '''link in the '''breadcrumbs''' to go to the '''dashboard'''.

|-
| 08:57
|With this, we come to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize.

|-
| 09:03
|In this tutorial, we learnt about:

Various '''blocks''' on the '''admin’s dashboard'''

'''Admin’s profile page''' and

How to edit '''preferences'''

|-
| 09:16
| Here is a small assignment for you.

Click on the '''Message Preferences'''. '''Users''' in '''Moodle''' can send private messages to each other.

|-
| 09:27
| I do not want my messages to be delivered as email, even when I am offline.

|-
| 09:33
|Look at the online and offline help box and ensure that the settings are correct.

|-
