Assignment Type

There are different types of assignments

- -

Offline activity - this is useful when the assignment is performed outside -of Moodle. Students can see a description of the assignment, but can't upload files or anything. -Teachers can grade all students though, and students will see notifications of their grades. - -

Resubmitting assignments

By default, students cannot resubmit assignments once the teacher has graded them

- -

If you turn this option on, then students will be allowed to resubmit assignments - after they have been graded (for you to re-grade). This may be useful if the - teacher wants to encourage students to do better work in an iterative process.

Obviously, this option is not relevant for offline assignments.

Forum Ratings

- -

Individual posts can be rated using a scale based on the theory of -separate and connected knowing. - -

This theory may help you to look at human interactions - in a new way. It describes two different ways that we can evaluate and learn - about the things we see and hear. - -

Although each of us may use these two methods in different amounts at different - times, it may be useful to imagine two people as examples, one who is a mostly - separate knower (Jim) and the other a mostly connected knower (Mary).

- -

Did you notice in these examples that the separate knower is male and the connected - knower is female? Some studies have shown that statistically this tends to be - the case, however individual people can be anywhere in the spectrum between - these two extremes.

-

For a collaborative and effective group of learners it may be best if everyone - were able to use BOTH ways of knowing.

-

In a particular situation like an online forum, a single post by a person may - exhibit either of these characteristics, or even both. Someone who is generally - very connected may post a very separate-sounding message, and vice versa. The - purpose of rating each post using this scale is to:

-
-

a) help you think about these issues when reading other posts
- b) provide feedback to each author on how they are being seen by others

-
-

The results are not used towards student assessment in any way, they are just - to help improve communication and learning.

Uploading a picture

- -

You can upload a picture from your computer to this server, and this picture will be used in various places to represent you. -

For this reason, the best images to use are a close-up of your face, but you can use any image you like. -

The picture must be in JPG or PNG format (ie the names will usually end in .jpg or .png). -

You can get a picture file using one of four methods: - -

    -
  1. Using a digital camera, your photos will most likely already be on your computer in the right format. -
  2. You can use a scanner to scan a printed photograph. Make sure you save it as JPG or PNG format. -
  3. If you're artistic, you might draw a picture using a paint program. -
  4. Lastly, you can "steal" images from the web. http://images.google.com is a superb place to search for images. Once you find one, you can "right-click" on them with the mouse and choose "Save this image..." from the menu (different computers may vary slightly). -
- -

To upload the image, click the "Browse" button on this editing page, and select the image from your hard disk. -

NOTE: Make sure that the file is not larger than the maximum size listed, or it will not be uploaded. -

Then click "Update my Profile" at the bottom - the image file will be cropped to a square and resized down to 100x100 pixels. -

When you are taken back to your profile page, the image might not appear to have changed. If this is so, just use the "Reload" button in your browser. diff --git a/lang/en_us/help/questions.html b/lang/en_us/help/questions.html deleted file mode 100644 index 5bfa7cef28..0000000000 --- a/lang/en_us/help/questions.html +++ /dev/null @@ -1,86 +0,0 @@ -

Questions

- -

A good way to help other people think about a subject is to - ask them a question about it. Being asked a good question - can really help us put information together, evaluate our - existing ideas and create new ideas.

- -

Asking questions that are specifically intended to help - others learn is known as Socratic questioning, named - after Socrates in Ancient Greece.

- -

Socratic questions require you to listen very carefully - to the other person to help you judge and phrase your question - in a helpful, constructive, and hopefully non-confrontational way. - -

Here are some examples of such questions:

- - - -

Questions of clarification

- -

Questions that probe assumptions

- -

Questions that probe reasons and evidence

- -

Questions about viewpoints or perspectives

- -

Questions that probe implications and consequences

Available surveys

- -

Currently, Moodle only offers specific types of surveys (future versions -will enable you to create your own).

Teachers

- -

This page shows the list of people who are assigned to be - "teachers" in this course (by the system administrator). - -

You can use this form to assign a role (title) to each person - such as "Professor", "Tutor", "Assistant" and so on. These - will appear on the site's course listing and also on the - list of participants for your course. If you leave the - role empty then the default word for teacher will be used - (the one you set in the Course Settings page). - -

You can also order this list (to put the main teacher at the - top, for example). Simply select numbers from the menus - in the "Order" column. After pressing "Save changes" you will - see the new order. - -

NOTE: A special case occurs if you use select "Hide" - for a teacher. In this case, the teacher will - NOT BE SHOWN on the course listings or the list of - participants. They will be "hidden" from students - (unless they post messages to the forums etc) diff --git a/lang/en_us/help/text.html b/lang/en_us/help/text.html deleted file mode 100644 index d79dbfbeeb..0000000000 --- a/lang/en_us/help/text.html +++ /dev/null @@ -1,144 +0,0 @@ -

Writing

- -

When writing text for others to read, try and write directly to your audience.

- -

Explain your ideas as clearly and simply as you can to help avoid misunderstandings. - One thing you can do is to avoid long words when a short one will do.

- -

In the forums it will really help to keep your whole posts short and on-topic. - Instead of one long rambling post that makes many different points, it may be - better to write several shorter ones (they may even belong in separate forums). - -

Re-edit your text as much as necessary until you get it right. - Even in forum posts you have maxeditingtime/60) ?> minutes - after you've posted it to go back and improve it if necessary.

- -

When replying to others, try and think of interesting questions you - can ask them. This will help both you and the other person think (and learn!) - about the subject you are discussing.
