This is a practice area to help you familiarize yourself with the Moodle |
Below you will see a number of topics that explain and demonstrate the various features of Moodle and how you might use them with students. |
You can add additional functions to your Moodle page by inserting a "block" on the right or left column. Moodle comes pre-configured with a number of different block. Or you can us the "HTML Block" to add anything you want. To add a block to your page, turn editing on and then select the desired block from the drop-down menu on the right column. More info on blocks can be found at: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Blocks |
The calendar, on the upper right corner of the page, allows teachers to add events for the class to see. Students can also use this as a private calendar to keep track of their own events.
Moodle has the ability to convert mathematical text entered in a special way into symbolic notation. You activate it by surrounding an expression or equation with "$$$"
For example if you type "$$$f(x)=3/(x^2)-12$$$" into a forum post, it will return:
$$\Large f(x)=3/(x^2)-12$$
Here's a more sophisticated example:
Entering $$$x = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}$$$, yields:
$$\LARGE x = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}$$
