Moodle


 * Using the Glossary Information about using a Glossary:**

Students can add terms and definitions to the glossary Ideas other than "typical" glossary entries:
 * Terms can be hyperlinked to the definition (anywhere they appear)
 * Duplicate entries can be allowed (or not)
 * Entries can be "vetted" by you before posting (or not)
 * Example: Provide each student with a famous scientist and ask, "How did this scientist's work influence others...lead to other discoveries.."
 * Consider a time line of events- students add the information
 * Have the students introduce themselves
 * Use the glossary for a short biography of authors you will be studying


 * Uploading Assignments**

Can't upload a file that is open.


 * Consider the following for creating quizzes:**

1. If you have Exam view, you can import questions

2. Use the GIFT format format This is a very easy format to learn. In addition, you can then share the file with other teachers and build a bank of questions. NOTE: If using this format, you MUST save your file at TXT. If you save as Word first and then TXT, the format will not carry over.

code A cow says {=Moo ~Bark ~Meow}.

A cat says {~Moo ~Bark =Meow}.

A dog says {~Moo =Bark ~Meow}.

Match the following colors with the correct toy. { =Teddy Bear -> Brown =Fire Truck -> Red =Frog -> Green =Truck -> Yellow}

You would find a barn on a farm. {T}

You would find racecars on a farm. {F}

3. Use the AIKEN format. Like the GIFT format, this is an easy format to learn for creating multiple choice questions.

The [|link] will take you to the Help Files for each format to see exactly how to create quizzes.
