I am already logged in as teacher Rebecca Raymond.

Please note.

All the courses for which you are enrolled as a teacher or student will be listed here.

If you didn’t do so, please refer to the assignments of the preceding tutorials.

Click on Expand All

Then click on Expand All at the right, to expand all the sections.

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

Course end date: 10 Nov 2018

Leave Course ID number

• Basic Calculus
• Intermediate Calculus
• Sequences and series
• Multivariable Calculus
• Matrices

I will delete the existing content and type the following.

My students will see this on the front page of my course.

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

By default, only jpg, gif and png file types are allowed as Course summary files.

Point to the Upload icon

Point to the download arrow

1. Drag and drop the file in the box.
2. Click on the Upload or Add icon at the top left.
3. Click on the downward arrow.

Click on Upload a file option

Click on Upload a file option on the left menu.

Then select the desired file from your machine.

I will select calculus.jpg from my system.

Next comes Course format.

• Single Activity Format
• Social Format
• Topics Format and
• Weekly Format.

We will let it remain as it is.

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

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.

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

Many activities in the course allow teachers to assign grades.

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.

This ensures that a student can see his/her activity reports from his/her profile page.

Files can be uploaded for additional materials, assignments, etc.

Our admin has set this to 128MB, which is the maximum file size.

Let us keep the size as it is.

We are brought to the Course page.

Click on Turn Editing On.

NOTE: You need to turn the editing on, to make any changes to the course.

click on Edit and then Edit Settings.

“Please check the announcements regularly”.

Check Display description on course page. This will display the description just below the link.

We come back to the Course page.

Subject: Minimum Requirements

Message: This course requires you to submit a minimum of 3 assignments and attempt 5 quizzes to pass.

Type the Subject as Minimum requirements.

Type the message as

“This course requires you to submit a minimum of 3 assignments and attempt 5 quizzes to pass”.

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

Check Pinned checkbox

If you want the announcements to show up at the top of the forum, click on Pinned checkbox.

I will tick it.

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

Click on Post to forum

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

By default, these are disabled. It means the posts will always be visible.

We will let the default settings remain.

Scroll down and click Post to forum button.

Post authors have 30 min to make any changes to the posts.

Select Page.

From the list of Resources, choose Page.

This content is available in the Code Files link of this tutorial.

You can download and make use of it while practising.

We come back to the course page again.

To do so, click on the user icon at the top right.

Now choose Log out option.

Student: Priya Sinha

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

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

This is because students cannot edit any part of the course.

With this, we come to the end of this tutorial.

Let us summarize.
