Moodle



= PRESENTED BY; Ryan Mundle - Collingwood Collegiate =

== Moodle is an online "learning management system". It is a place where you can organize all your class materials for students to access. You can link websites, wikis, blogs, documents, audio, images, videos, RSS feeds, and more. You can create online quizzes and assignments within the environment as well. SCDSB owns and runs its own Moodle server, so all of your documents, student info and other valuable data is stored and controlled within the board with no ads, paywalls, or changing usage agreements to deal with. Your Moodle can also be password protected, or can remain open to any visitors. You control all aspects of the content, and can produce student usage data. Moodle is a powerful and flexible teaching tool. ==

** Creating Your SCDSB Moodle Account ** Step 1: Go to [] Step 2: Click on "login" in the top right corner, then click "Create new account". Create an account. Step 3: Email Jaclyn Calder at jcalder@scdsb.on.ca, or Peter Careri at pcareri@scdsb.on.ca and ask for your account to be switched to "Course Creator".

** Creating Your Moodle Class **
Once you have your Moodle account created, follow the steps below to create your course. Step 1: Go to [], and log in. Step 2: Click on Settings>Site Administration>Courses>Add/Edit Course Step 3: Click on the school you want the Moodle associated with, then click "Add a new course". Step 4: Go through the setup preferences and make the selections that best fit what you want the course to look like. The only thing I usually change is to switch the "Weekly" format to "Topics" so that I can use a traditional unit by unit organization. Step 5: Click "Save changes"...and your Moodle is created!
