| 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. |
