|
Here are the prerequisites of this tutorial. |
| Login as teacher | We are logged in as teacher Nitya Jeevan. |
| Screen: Moodle Dashboard (Teacher view) | Let’s begin by configuring the course settings for the course Calculus. |
| Click on Home → Calculus → point to Edit Mode | Click on Home. Click on Calculus.
Ensure Edit Mode is ON. |
| Click Settings → Click Expand All | In the course menu, click on Settings and then on Expand All. |
| Section: General → Full name and Short name | Below General, you can edit the Full name and Short name of the course if you want to. |
| Section: General → Course visibility → Select Show | Use the Course visibility dropdown to Show or Hide the course. |
| Section: General → Course start date 15 June | Set the Start date as 15 June using the calendar picker. |
| Section: Description → Summary
Type below the existing text: "The objective of this course is to familiarize the prospective engineers with techniques in calculus, multivariate analysis and linear algebra. It aims to equip the students with standard concepts and tools at an intermediate to advanced level that will serve them well towards tackling more advanced level of mathematics and applications that they would find useful in their disciplines. The students will learn: 1. To apply differential and integral calculus to notions of curvature and to improper integrals. Apart from some other applications they will have a basic understanding of Beta and Gamma functions. 2. The fallouts of Rolle's Theorem that is fundamental to application of analysis to Engineering problems. 3. The tool of power series and Fourier series for learning advanced Engineering Mathematics. 4. To deal with functions of several variables that are essential in most branches of engineering. 5. The essential tool of matrices and linear algebra in a comprehensive manner." |
In the Summary box, let’s add some more introduction text about this course.
Pause the video and type the following text or any text of your own. |
| Scroll down and point to Course Format section | Next, let’s look at Course format settings. |

| Section: Appearance | Scroll to the Appearance section. |
| Fields: Show gradebook, Show activity reports | Choose to Hide or Show the Gradebook and Activity reports to students. |
| Section: Files and uploads → Maximum upload size | Set the Maximum upload size for student submissions to a reasonable size.
20Mb is good. |
| Click Save and Return | Click Save and display. |
| Click Home → scroll to Calculus | Click Home and scroll to Calculus course to view what we have added. |
| Back to Course Page of Calculus course → Click “Add an activity or resource” | Now, let’s add some course materials to the Calculus course.
Below Elementary Calculus, click Add an activity or resource. |
| Choose “Page” → click Expand All | Select Page from the list and click Expand All. |
| Name: Introduction to Calculus | In the Name field, type a suitable page title as shown. |
| Description: Limits, Derivatives, and Integrals | In the Description box, type a brief description. |
| Content:
"The basic calculus course covers fundamental topics such as limits and continuity, the definition and applications of derivatives, and the fundamentals of integration, including the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. It emphasizes techniques for analyzing the behavior of functions, optimization problems, and the calculation of areas under curves, providing essential mathematical tools for advanced analysis." |
Provide some more details about the course in the Content box. |
| Click Save and display | Click Save and display. |
| Click Elementary Calculus in the breadcrumbs → point to Introduction to Calculus | In the breadcrumbs, click Elementary Calculus.
Notice a new page here. This is what you added. |
| Click Add an activity or resource → File. | To upload a file, click Add an activity or resource and File. |
| Name: Reading material for Introduction to Calculus
Description: Mandatory Reading Adding Materials → Upload a Word file → choose this file after downloading it on your machine |
Type a suitable name and brief description as shown.
Then choose the file from your machine that you want to upload. And click Save and display. |
| Click Elementary Calculus in the breadcrumbs → point to Reading material for Introduction to Calculus | In the breadcrumbs, click Elementary Calculus.
Notice a new file here. This is what you added. |
| Click Math-101 in the breadcrumbs → scroll → check Elementary Calculus | Now click Math-101 in the breadcrumbs.
Scroll and check Elementary Calculus course to view all the additions. |
| Click Announcements → Add Discussion Topic →
Subject: All Students Message: “Please check the announcements regularly” → Click Post to Forum |
To post an announcement, click Announcements.
Click Add Discussion Topic. Type Subject line and Message. And click Post to Forum. |
| Top-right menu → Switch role to.... | Now let’s preview the course as a student. |
| Choose student | Click Switch role to... and select student. |
| Announcement appears in student view → click Math-101 in the breadcrumbs | You can now view how students view the announcements.
And here is the course content. |
| Switch back | Switch back by clicking on Return to my normal role. |
| This is how we do the basic configurations of a course as a teacher! | |
