Back to HPS!

If you've decided to experiment with Moodle, or if you are actually using it in class, we have collected a number of tutorials for your use. These tutorials have been developed off-site, so some of the actual information displayed may not reflect what we do in Hanover. The principles are the same, though, and that is the important thing. Be aware that we are running version 1.9 (the latest); some of the tutorials focus on earlier versions, so you need to take that into account.

By the way, any videos are in Flash format (you can download and install Flash player here).

Before we get into specific tutorials, we would like to point you to two intereting websites that contain a lot of Moodle tutorials:

  1. Site 1
  2. Site 2
  3. 2 Minute Moodles: Great video tutorials

Getting Started

As the name implies, here are some of the things to consider as you start using Moodle.
Uploading Files Frequently, teachers want to share files with students; these links explain the process of getting files from your computer to Moodle.
Adding a Forum In Moodle, you can set up dynamic discussions where your students can respond to you and to one another.
Creating a Chat Room There is a simple feature in Moodle that allows you and your students to "chat" to one another
Creating a Topic Heading Just as it says: you can add a header to topic blocks (and even pictures).
Creating a Quiz Yes, you can create quizzes and tests in Moode, as well as keep class grades.
Placing Equations and Special Characters Many times people want the web to imitate MS Word; here's how.
Lesson Tool (for teachers) This tool allows you (with some elbow grease) to create self-directed material for students!
Wiki (Web Page) Tool Moodle allows you and/or your students to create simple fully-functional wesites within your course!
Workshop Guide This tool allows students to view, grade and assess their own and other course members' work as a group.
