Activity Modules
Moodle contains a wide range of activity modules that can be used to
build up any type of course.
Forums
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.
Labels
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
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.
