| Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on '''Course Administration '''in '''Moodle.'''

|-
|00:07
| In this tutorial, we will learn about: '''Course Administration '''in '''Moodle'''

'''Activities''' and '''Resources''' in a '''course'''

|-
| 00:17
| This tutorial is recorded using: '''Ubuntu Linux OS 16.04'''

|-
| 00:24
| '''Apache, MariaDB '''and''' PHP''' obtained through''' XAMPP 5.6.30'''

|-
| 00:33
|'''Moodle 3.3 ''' and '''Firefox '''web browser

|-
| 00:40
| You may use any web browser of your choice.

However, '''Internet Explorer''' should be avoided, as it causes some display inconsistencies.

|-
| 00:52
| This tutorial assumes that your '''site administrator''' has set up a '''Moodle website''' and registered you as a '''teacher.'''

|-
| 01:03
| Learners of this tutorial should have a '''teacher login''' on '''Moodle'''

|-
| 01:09
| At least one '''course '''assigned to them by the '''administrator'''

some course material uploaded for their respective '''course'''

|-
| 01:19
| If not, please refer to the relevant '''Moodle''' tutorials on this website.

|-
| 01:26
| Switch to the browser and open your '''moodle site.'''

|-
| 01:31
| Login with your '''teacher username''' and '''password''' details.

I am already logged in as '''teacher Rebecca Raymond'''.

|-
| 01:41
| We are in the '''teacher’s dashboard'''.

|-
| 01:44
| In the '''navigation menu''' on the left, notice '''Calculus''' under '''My Courses'''.

|-
| 01:51
| Please note. All the '''courses''' for which you are enrolled as a '''teacher''' or '''student''' will be listed here.

|-
| 01:59
| Click on the '''Calculus course.'''

|-
| 02:02
| We updated the '''course topics''' and '''summaries''' in the preceding tutorials.

|-
| 02:09
| If you didn’t do so, please refer to the assignments of the preceding tutorials.

|-
| 02:16
| We will now learn about some useful '''course '''settings.

|-
| 02:21
| Click on the '''gear icon''' at the top right of the '''section'''.

|-
| 02:26
| Click on '''Edit Settings'''. Then click on '''Expand All''' at the right, to expand all the '''sections'''.

|-
| 02:36
| The settings seen here, were defined by the '''administrator''', when this '''course '''was created.

|-
| 02:44
| In the '''General section, '''we have '''Course full name.'''

This is the name displayed at the top of the '''course page'''.

|-
| 02:54
| '''Course short name '''is the name displayed in the '''course navigation '''and in '''course-'''related '''emails'''.

|-
| 03:03
| '''Course category '''is already set by the '''admin'''.

|-
| 03:08
| We can change '''Course start date, Course end date '''and '''Course ID number''', as per our requirements.

|-
| 03:21
| Under '''Description section''', see the '''Course Summary '''textbox.

I will delete the existing content and type the following.

|-
| 03:31
| My students will see this on the front page of my '''course'''.

|-
| 03:37
| Next comes the field '''Course summary files.'''

These are the files that will be displayed to the students, along with the '''Course summary. '''

|-
| 03:47
| By default, only '''jpg, gif''' and '''png file types''' are allowed as '''Course summary '''files.

|-
| 03:56
| There are 3 ways to upload a file: Drag and drop the file in the box.

|-
| 04:03
| Click on the '''Upload''' or '''Add '''icon at the top left.

Click on the downward arrow.

|-
| 04:11
| If you click on '''Upload '''or '''Add '''icon or on the downward arrow, the '''File picker''' dialog box opens.

|-
| 04:21
| Click on '''Upload a file '''option on the left menu.

|-
| 04:26
| Click on the '''Browse '''or '''Choose File''' button.

Then select the desired file from your machine.

|-
| 04:34
| I will select''' calculus.jpg''' from my system.

|-
| 04:40
| You can give it a different name by typing it in the '''Save as '''field.

|-
| 04:46
| Specify the '''author''' and '''license''' details in the respective fields.

Lastly, click on '''Upload this file '''button at the bottom.

|-
| 04:58
| So that’s how we can upload '''Course summary '''files.

|-
| 05:02
| Next comes '''Course format'''. '''Course format''' refers to the way '''resources''' and '''activities''' are organized for the students.

|-
| 05:12
| There are 4 options in '''Format''' dropdown -

'''Single Activity Format''', '''Social Format''' , '''Topics Format '''and '''Weekly Format'''.

|-
| 05:26
| Our '''admin''' has selected '''Topics format'''.

We will let it remain as it is.

|-
| 05:33
| Next setting is for '''Hidden sections'''.

These are basically '''topics '''in a '''course '''that can be kept hidden from students.

|-
| 05:44
| This can be useful when there is a certain topic, which is not yet completed by the teacher.

This setting determines how to present the '''Hidden sections''' to students.

|-
| 05:57
| Choosing this option will display the content in collapsed form to the students.

|-
|06:04
| Choosing this option will hide the content from the students.

|-
| 06:09
| We will let it remain as default, for now.

|-
| 06:13
| The next drop-down is '''Course Layout'''. Click on it.

|-
| 06:19
| We can choose to show all '''sections''' in one page, by selecting this option.

|-
|06:25
| Another option here is '''Show one section per page'''.

This will split the '''course '''over several pages, depending on the number of '''sections'''.

|-
| 06:37
| We will let it remain on '''Show all sections in one page, '''for now.

|-
|06:43
| Next is the '''Appearance''' section.

|-
|06:46
| Notice the '''Show gradebook to students''' option.

Many activities in the '''course '''allow teachers to assign grades.

|-
| 06:57
| This option determines whether a student can see those grades.

This option is set to '''Yes,''' by default. We will let it remain as is.

|-
| 07:10
| We will change '''Show activity reports''' as '''Yes,''' if not already selected by default.

|-
| 07:18
| This ensures that a student can see his/her '''activity reports '''from his/her '''profile page.'''

|-
| 07:27
| We can set the maximum size of the files that can be uploaded for this '''course'''.

|-
| 07:34
| Files can be uploaded for '''additional materials, assignments, '''etc.

|-
| 07:41
| Our '''admin '''has set this to '''128MB''', which is the maximum file size.

Let us keep the size as it is.

|-
| 07:52
| We will let all the other settings remain at their default values.

|-
| 07:58
| Scroll down and click on the '''Save and display '''button.

We are brought to the '''Course '''page.

|-
| 08:06
| Notice the '''Announcements''' link above the topic names.

|-
| 08:11
| This will let the students know about mandatory information, latest news, announcements, etc.

|-
|08:20
| Click on the '''gear''' icon at the top right of the page and then on '''Turn Editing On'''.

|-
| 08:28
| '''NOTE''': You need to turn the editing on, to make any changes to the '''course'''.

|-
|08:35
| Now, to the right of '''Announcements''', click on '''Edit''' and then '''Edit Settings.'''

|-
| 08:44
| And in '''Description''' I will type the following text.

'''“Please check the announcements regularly”.'''

|-
| 08:52
| Check '''Display description on course page. '''This will display the description just below the link.

|-
| 09:01
| Leave all other settings as they are.

|-
| 09:05
| Scroll down and click on the button '''Save and return to course.'''

We come back to the '''Course '''page.

|-
| 09:15
| To add more '''announcements''', click on the '''Announcements''' title.

|-
| 09:21
| Now click on '''Add a new topic''' button. Type the '''Subject''' as '''Minimum requirements'''.

|-
| 09:31
| Type the message as '''“This course requires you to submit a minimum of 3 assignments and attempt 5 quizzes to pass”.'''

|-
| 09:43
| Notice that the checkbox '''Discussion subscription''' is checked and is non-editable.

This is because everyone enrolled in the '''course''' is compulsorily subscribed to it.

|-
| 09:59
| Next is '''Attachments'''. You can either drag and drop or upload related files here.

|-
| 10:08
| If you want the announcements to show up at the top of the '''forum''', click on '''Pinned''' checkbox.

I will tick it.

|-
| 10:18
| Tick the next checkbox, as well.

This will send a '''notification''' to everyone '''subscribed''' to this '''forum''' immediately.

|-
| 10:29
| Expand the next section''' Display period.'''

The settings here determine if this '''forum post '''should be visible for a date range.

|-
| 10:41
| By default, these are disabled. It means the '''posts''' will always be visible.

We will let the default settings remain.

|-
| 10:52
| Scroll down and click '''Post to forum''' button.

|-
| 10:57
| A success message is displayed. '''Post authors''' have 30 min to make any changes to the '''posts'''.

|-
| 11:08
| Let me click on '''Calculus''' link in the '''breadcrumb'''.

|-
| 11:13
| Let me now add a page with detailed syllabus to this '''section'''.

|-
| 11:19
| Click on '''Add an activity or resource''' link at the bottom right of the '''General section.'''

From the list of '''Resources''', choose '''Page'''.

|-
| 11:32
| Read the description of this activity that will appear when you make the choice.

|-
| 11:39
| Then click on the '''Add''' button at the bottom.

We are brought to a new page.

|-
| 11:47
| In the '''Name '''field, type '''Detailed syllabus'''.

|-
| 11:52
| I will leave the '''Description '''textbox blank because the title is self-explanatory.

|-
| 11:59
| I will enter the detailed syllabus of this '''Calculus''' course in the '''Page Content''' textbox.

|-
| 12:07
| This content is available in the '''Code Files '''link of this tutorial.

You can download and make use of it while practising.

|-
| 12:18
| Scroll down and click on '''Save and return to course''' button.

We come back to the '''course '''page again.

|-
| 12:27
| We will now '''logout''' of our account. To do so, click on the '''user icon''' at the top right.

Now choose '''Log out''' option.

|-
| 12:39
| Let me show you how this page will look like to a student.

|-
| 12:45
| I have a '''student ID Priya Sinha '''with me.

This student has also been enrolled in the '''Calculus''' course by the '''admin'''.

|-
| 12:55
| I have logged in as student '''Priya Sinha'''. Now I will click on '''Calculus''' on the left.

|-
| 13:04
| This is how a student will view this page.

Notice that there is no '''gear icon''' at the top right of this page.

|-
| 13:14
| This is because students cannot edit any part of the '''course'''.

|-
| 13:20
| We will now log out of the '''student id.'''

|-
| 13:24
| With this, we come to the end of this tutorial.
