Resources
Resources are modules that teachers can use to support teaching and add files, presentations, and more with these modules.
Book enables a teacher to create a multi-page resource in a book-like format, with chapters and subchapters. Books can contain media files as well as text and are useful for displaying lengthy passages of information which can be broken down into sections.
This module enables a teacher to provide a file as a course resource. Where possible, the file will be displayed within the course interface; otherwise students will be prompted to download it. The file may include supporting files, for example an HTML page may have embedded images.
A file may be used to share presentations given in class; to include a mini website as a course resource; to provide draft files of software programs so students can edit and submit them for assessment.
Folder enables a teacher to display a number of related files inside a single folder, reducing scrolling on the course page. A zipped folder may be uploaded and unzipped for display, or an empty folder created and files uploaded into it.
This module may be used for a series of files on one topic, for example a set of past examination papers in pdf format or a collection of image files for use in student projects or to provide a shared uploading space for teachers on the course page (keeping the folder hidden so that only teachers can see it).
The label module enables text and multimedia to be inserted into the course page in between links to other resources and activities. Labels are very versatile and can help to improve the appearance of a course if used thoughtfully.
Page module enables a teacher to create a web page resource using the text editor. A page can display text, images, sound, video, web links and embedded code, such as Google maps.
URL enables a teacher to provide a web link as a course resource. Anything that is freely available online, such as documents or images, can be linked to; the URL doesn’t have to be the home page of a website.
More information about each resource is available on the official Moodle documentation pages.
