Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Teacher’s dashboard in Moodle.
00:07 In this tutorial, we will learn about a typical Moodle course overview.
00:14 Then we will learn about:

the teachers’ dashboard ,

how to edit profile and

how to edit preferences.

00:25 Lastly, we will learn to add some preliminary details pertaining to our course on Moodle.
00:33 This tutorial is recorded using:

Ubuntu Linux OS 16.04,

Apache, MariaDB and PHP obtained through XAMPP 5.6.30,

Moodle 3.3 and

Firefox web browser.

You may use any web browser of your choice.

00:59 However, Internet Explorer should be avoided as it causes some display inconsistencies.
01:07 This tutorial assumes that your site administrator has set up a Moodle website and assigned you to a new, blank course where you have teacher privileges.

My system administrator has already done the following.

01:26 Please note:

Teacher role has been assigned to user “Rebecca Raymond” for the course “Calculus”.

01:34 Ask your site administrator to refer to the Moodle tutorials on this website.
01:41 And, create a user for you, who has teacher privileges for at least one course.
01:48 Moodle is one of the most flexible, creative and easy-to-use teaching and learning system.
01:56 Typically, Moodle can be used by teachers to -

upload their teaching-learning resources,

manage their collection of multimedia e-resources like files, videos etc.,

02:12 share web resources and open educational resources,

embed YouTube / Vimeo videos,

02:22 administer quizzes and assignments,

encourage the use of collaborative content like Wiki, Glossary etc.

02:34 interact and communicate with students synchronously and asynchronously and track students' learning progress.
02:44 I have with me, the course overview of my Calculus course.
02:50 I have-

the topics that will be covered,

number of lectures per week,

total number of assignments for the course,

03:01 total number of quizzes (weekly or fortnightly),

total number of end of course exams,

marks distribution,

course materials,

book references.

03:18 I have to structure my course and upload all the materials accordingly on Moodle.
03:25 Switch to the browser and open the Moodle site.
03:30 A page with a header and Available courses will be displayed.
03:35 Click on the Login link at the top right corner of the window.
03:40 I will login as teacher Rebecca Raymond.
03:44 We are on a page that prompts us to change our password. This is because the Force password change option was activated by the admin earlier.
03:57 Type the current password followed by the new password. I will type Spokentutorial12 #.
04:07 Re-type the New password. And then, click on Save changes button at the bottom.
04:15 A success message appears confirming that the password has been changed. Click on the Continue button.
04:24 The page that we are in now, is called the dashboard.
04:29 Our dashboard is divided into 3 columns.
04:34 The one on the left is the Navigation menu. The wider one in the middle, is the main Course overview area with 'Timeline' and 'Courses' tabs.
04:47 The one on the right is the Blocks column.
04:51 Courses tab lists the courses you are enrolled in. Click on the Courses tab in the Course overview area.
05:02 In the In Progress tab, we see 2 courses here: Calculus and Linear Algebra. These are the courses assigned to teacher Rebecca Raymond by the admin.
05:17 Future courses assigned to her, will be visible in the Future tab. Likewise, any of her courses that are over, will be seen under the Past tab.
05:30 Let us now look at the header of the page. On the top left corner, we can see Navigation Drawer or Navigation menu.
05:41 This gives access to the Calendar, Private Files and My courses links.
05:48 This is a toggle menu which means it changes its status from open to close and vice-versa, when clicked.
05:58 At the top right, there are quick access icons for notifications and messages.
06:06 Clicking on the profile picture at the top right, will enable us to access the user menu. It is also called as the quick access user menu.
06:18 Click on it. All these menu items are also toggle menus, similar to the one on the left.
06:28 Click on the Profile option. Every user in Moodle has a profile page.
06:36 It has links to allow users to edit their profile information, see the courses they are enrolled in,
06:46 view their blog or forum posts, check any reports they have access to and view their access logs that was used to login the last time.
07:01 Now, let’s click on the Edit Profile link.
07:06 The Edit Profile page opens up.

This page is divided into 5 sections:

General,

User Picture,

Additional Names,

Interests,

Optional.

07:24 The General and User picture sections are expanded, by default.
07:30 The ‘Expand all’ link on the right, expands all the sections.
07:36 And clicking on any section name either expands or collapses it.
07:42 All fields here are editable.
07:45 You can enter your personal details in General section, as I have done now.
07:52 As a teacher, I’d like my students to know a little bit about me.
07:58 So, here in the Description field, I will fill out some details.
08:04 Pause the tutorial and fill out your details as I have done here.
08:10 You can also add some information in the other fields and sections. You can upload your picture as well.
08:19 I have added a few more details in General and Optional sections.
08:25 Then click on Update Profile button and save the page.
08:30 Now, click on the quick access user menu at the top right again. And, click on the Preferences link.
08:40 The Preferences page gives users quick access to various settings they may wish to edit.
08:48 Preferences page, for a teacher’s account , is divided into :

User account, Blogs and Badges.

09:00 We have already seen Edit Profile and Change Password earlier.
09:06 There are some other preferences for

Language,

Forum,

Editor,

Course,

Calendar,

Message,

Notification.

09:19 Let’s click on the Calendar preferences.
09:23 We will set the calendar to display time in 24- hour format.
09:29 Also, we will set the Upcoming events look-ahead to 2 weeks.
09:35 This means, we’ll see notifications for all events happening in the next 2 weeks, on the calendar.
09:43 Click on the Save Changes button.
09:46 We will go through the rest of the preferences when we discuss those features later in this series.
09:54 Notice the information here.
09:57 This is the breadcrumb navigation. It’s a visual aid that indicates which page we are on, within the Moodle site’s hierarchy.
10:09 It helps us to go back to a higher-level page with a single click.
10:15 Click on the Dashboard link in the breadcrumbs, to go to the dashboard.
10:21 Now, let us see how to add a topic and brief summary for the Calculus course.
10:28 Let’s click on the Calculus course in the Navigation menu at the left.
10:34 On the new page, click on the gear icon at the top right.
10:40 Then click on Turn editing on option.
10:45 The page now displays more edit options.
10:50 Click on the pencil icon next to Topic 1.
10:55 Now, in the text box that appears, type: Basic Calculus. Press Enter.
11:03 Notice the change of topic name.
11:06 Now, click on the Edit link at the extreme right of that topic.
11:11 And then click on Edit topic option.
11:15 This brings us to the Summary page.
11:18 Here, in the Summary field, we can give a brief summary of the topic. I will type as shown.
11:27 Scroll down and click on the Save Changes button.
11:32 Observe the change.
