Activity Modules

This file contains the main description of the newmodule module. Usually, it's used to explain the main features of the activity, with a natural language. Also, the overall process of the activity is detailed here with its pedagogical foundation.

From a developer perspective, this "help" directory will contain simple html files like this that you will be able to link from newmodule code when any sort of explanation is necessary (it's easier to add those links automatically, both from the formslib stuff (see mod_form.php) and from everywhere else (see the helpbutton() function).

Also, don't forget to add one link to this help file from the newmodule/help "index.html" file, it will allow Moodle to show all the existing help files related to the module when the complete list of available help files is requested.

Please, replace me with the real information about the newmodule!

This activity can be the most important - it is here that most discussion takes place. Forums can be structured in different ways, and can include peer rating of each posting. The postings can be viewed in a variety for formats, and can include attachments. By subscribing to a forum, participants will receive copies of each new posting in their email. A teacher can impose subscription on everyone if they want to.

Assignments allow the teacher to specify a task that requires students to prepare digital content (any format) and submit it by uploading it to the server. Typical assignments include essays, projects, reports and so on. This module includes grading facilities.

This is a not a true activity - it is a "dummy" activity that allows you to insert text and graphics among the other activities on the course page.

Resources are content: information the teacher wants to bring into the course. These can be prepared files uploaded to the course server; pages edited directly in Moodle; or external web pages made to appear part of this course.
