START HERE -----> Finding your way around Moodle

A Moodle 'course' is a space on a Moodle site into which you can add resources or activities for your learners. The video and text underneath guide you through a Moodle course.

A 'course' can be a simple page with documents for one teacher and one class, or a complex page with many different activities shared by teachers and several classes. It can be always available or  have start and end dates, and learners can access it in a number of ways, such as enrolling themselves, being enrolled by their teacher, or by the Moodle administrator.

A course can display its materials in a number of ways or 'formats' for example in weekly sections or (named) topic sections. You can show all the sections at once or just reveal one at a time.

You can also add elements known as 'blocks' to the right, left or both sides of your central learning area depending on your theme.
