Activities+in+Moodle

An activity is generally an interactive learning segment for a student in a course. The teacher adds activities by a pull down menu found in their course's sections when the edit mode is turned on.

Once you have logged in as a teacher and turning on the editing mode, you can add an assignment from the //**Activity Menu**// (Above).


 * Moodle features the following Activity Modules:**


 * Assignment
 * Chat
 * Choice
 * Forum
 * Glossary
 * Book
 * Quiz
 * Resource
 * Workshop
 * Wiki

Building a course involves adding course activity modules to the main page in the order that students will be using them. You can shuffle the order any time you like.

To turn on editing, click "Turn on editing" in the course menu. This toggle switch shows or hides the extra controls that allow you to manipulate your main course page.
