Uploading Files
Moodle uses a common file picker throughout the application. For this reason instead of explaining it in each place it’s used, it will get a single entry in here in the appendix.
There are two different ways to upload files within the file upload dialog. The first is to simply drag it from the desktop, or the file explorer into the files box.
The drag and drop feature is the easiest way. However certain browsers may not support the feature. Or there may be other issues at play. At those times we can use the upload dialog box. The first step is to click the “Add” button.
Then we need to click the choose file button.
At this point you will be looking through the documents on your computer. Select the appropriate file and click the open button. Then click the “Upload this file” button.
-
Dashboard
Once you have logged in to Moodle, you will be taken to your Dashboard. Available on the top menu bar are links to technical support and library resources. The side menu bars provide you with links for Navigation and Settings. The centre of the page lists all your available Moodle courses, along with the most recent course updates.
To enter a course, simply click on the course name.
Customizing your Dashboard
You can customize your Moodle Dashboard by clicking on the "Customize this page" button in the top right hand corner of the Dashboard page.
There are a number of things you can customize on this page. The two most important are to choose the number of courses to display, and to set the order in which they appear.
By default Moodle will only show you ten courses on the Dashboard. There is an option below those ten to show all. But that button would need to be pressed each time you navigate to the page. In order to permanently show all courses, or any number you desire, select the option from the "Number of courses to display" dropdown.
Once you have your prefered number of courses displayed you can rearrange them using the crosshair icon next to the name of each course. Just drag and drop the course into the location you would like it to appear. Repeat this until all your courses are displayed the way you like.

Navigating Moodle
There are a few different ways of navigating through Moodle: clicking links, breadcrumb bar, the navigation block, and since Moodle is, at its heart, just a website, the browsers back and forward buttons.
Using Links for Navigation
The first method of navigation is also the most intuitive, links. As you advance throughout the site you will notice that there are plenty of clickable links in colored in red text. Each of these links will bring you to another page, and most even have additional icons to help determine what type of page the link will navigate too.
As an example, each link for a quiz will have a small icon with a checkmark beside it. This visual cue makes it really easy to move naturally throughout your courses.
There is one drawback while navigating through Moode using links and that is you will not find any links within your course to go back to a previous page, or even to the main course page. In order to navigate backwards we will need to use the Breadcrumb Bar.
Using the Breadcrumb Bar for Navigation
Near the top of page, just under the GPRC wordmark you will notice there is a list of the pages that you have navigated through to get to your current location. As with the previous navigation method, all of the red text are clickable links.
In order to navigate back, either to the previous page you were on, or even a few pages back, you can just click on the name of the link. Clicking on the name of the course will bring you back to the main course page, and clicking on “My home” will bring you directly back to the course listings page.
Using the Navigation Block
You can also navigate Moodle using the navigation block in the left hand column. Within this block you can easily jump to your My Home page, or quickly jump between topics in your current course.

Building Your Course
Moodle has a number of features that can be utilized to create a course space unique to your content. This section will provide a general overview of how to enable each of these features. The different activities and resources will each have dedicated sections.
Turn Editing On
Your Moodle homepage defaults to a read-only view when you first enter it. In order to make any modifications to it you will need to enable editing. There are two places where editing can be enabled. The first is in the top right hand corner, by clicking the button labeled "Turn editing on". The second is within the Course Administration block on the left hand side. The first entry is again labeled "Turn editing on".
Topics in Moodle
Once editing has been turned on, you will note that a number of changes have occurred to the layout. These include a new general purpose heading topic, an option to “Add an activity or resource” for each topic, a gear icon under each topic title, and a crosshair icon beside it. Also, you will not a light bulb and eyeball icon in the far right column. These options allow you to customize your course content.
Topic Blocks
Each of the other topic blocks can be used to contain and organize your course material. There is no right or wrong way to use these sections of your course. You can use each individual topic as a week-by-week progression though your course. Using each as a container for a particular chapter of the textbook would also be an option. Or you could even use each to topic to break down the different types of activities. Topic 1 could be used to store reading, Topic 2 for assignments, while Topic 3 contains all of the quizzes for the course. Moodle is highly customizable and should be able to fit the needs of your personal presentation style.
Topic Settings
Within each Topic you will see a gear icon . When you click on this icon you will be presented with options to change the name and add a summary of the topic.
In order to change the section name, first you will need to uncheck the “Use default section name” option. You will then be able to enter any text you wish for the name of the topic block.
This Summary box will allow you to enter a description of what the students can expect to see within that topic.
Once you have modified these boxes be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page and click the “Save changes” button.
Hiding topics from students
By clicking the eyeball icon in Moodle you are able to hide a topic from students. This will cause all the content of that topic block to be greyed out for the instructors.
The students will see a message saying that the topic is not available.
Moving topics
Instructors will also have the option to rearrange their topics in Moodle by dragging them around with the crosshairs icon . You can drag any Topic section up or down to get the presentation to your students just right.
Please note that the General Topic section at the top of you course cannot be moved. Please use this section only for information that must be visible immediately to students, and not for course material as it will be more difficult to rearrange at a later date.
-
Activities and Resources
Adding an Activity or Resource
While editing is turned on you will see that each topic in Moodle has the option to add activities or resources.
You can use the links to add material for students into any particular section. However if you accidently add it to the wrong section, or wish to move it to a different section there is an option to do so. More on that later.
When you click “Add an activity or a resource within any block you will be presented with a list of options you can choose from. We will go into more detail for each of the common options later.
Course page options for Activities and Resources
Once you have added content to your Moodle page you will see that that a few additional icons appear around them.
Moving items around
The crosshair icon may already look familiar. This will let you move items around and reorder them. You can move them between topics as well, including the General Topic at the top, so if you added it to the wrong location, or just want to have it somewhere else you are not limited to which “Add a resource or activity” link you clicked.
Adding and Removing Topics from Your Course Page
There are two different ways to add and remove topics from your course. The first is through the + and – icons at the bottom of the course page. By clicking the + icon a new topic will appear. By clicking the – icon the last topic block will disappear.
The second way to add or remove topics is within the Course Settings option. Inside the settings page under the Course format section, is an option named “Number of sections” and a dropdown box that displays the current number available within your course. In order to modify that value, just select the number of sections you would like and press the “Save changes” button at the bottom of the page.
If Topics that are removed content in them, that content will become hidden. However it will not be visible to either you or your students in the standard view mode. With editing turned on though, you will see that topic with a heading of “Orphaned activities” with the name of the section in parenthesis. The entire section will be greyed out, similar to how it would look if you hid the topic from students.
The Edit Dropdown
To the right of each activity or resource you will notice that there is a dropdown option labeled Edit.
Clicking on that dropdown will present additional options for dealing with that particular resource.
Edit Settings
The edit settings option will allow you to access the settings page that you used when initially setting up the activity or resource. Each of these items have their own settings pages and will be detailed in their own sections of this manual.
Move Right
The move right option allows you to indent items in order to relate them to each other.
Hide
The hide option allows you to hide the item from students. Although similar to the hide option for topics this will hide only an individual item and the students will have no indication that something is not available to them. As the instructor you will see the item greyed out.
Duplicate
After creating and setting up an activity or resource, you may want to create similar items with different names. For example, all your quizzes may have the settings and instead of going through the process of recreating each individually, you could just create one, duplicate it, then just change the name and dates it’s available.
Please note that the Duplicate option does create an exact duplicate, including the name. Please be sure to edit the name to prevent your students from being confused.
Assign Roles
Moodle will allow you to assign different roles for different activities and resources. For example a student may be given the same abilities as a teacher within a quiz, allowing them to set on up for other classmates.
Please be cautious when using this feature. If you’ve forgotten that you’ve granted additional privileges to a student, then duplicate the item and use those settings for an exam, that student will also have the instructor role in the exam.
Delete
This allows you to remove items from your course page. When deleting an item you will be prompted with a warning. Once you click “Yes” on the warning the item will be removed from your course.
There is no undo option within Moodle, so please be sure you would like something removed before deleting it. If you are not sure if you will need it again, moving it to a hidden topic block at the bottom of your course page may be a viable alternative.
Editing the Title
Beside each item with a title, you will see the edit item icon . This allows you to change the name of an item without having to go into the settings page. It is very useful after duplicating another item. Once selected the name of the item will change to be within a text box. Just enter the new name and press enter. In order to cancel the change just click the escape key.
-
Gradebook
All the grades for each student in a course can be found in the course gradebook, or 'Grader report' in Settings > Course administration > Grades.
The grader report collects items that have been graded from the various parts of Moodle that are assessed, and allows you to view and change them as well as sort them out into categories and calculate totals in various ways. When you add an assessed item in a Moodle course, the gradebook automatically creates space for the grades it will produce and also adds the grades themselves as they are generated, either by the system or by you.
The grades displayed are initially displayed as the raw marks from the assessments themselves, so will depend on how you set those up e.g. an essay out of 36 will appear as however many raw marks that student got, not a percentage (although this can be changed later, see below).
Display
Along the top of the grader report are several rows: first the course, then the category, then the columns for each graded activity (for example: Assignment, Quiz, Lesson). Any activities settings which were left "uncategorised" will appear in the general category which is named after the course by default (any category name can be changed).
You can add a row showing the range of possible scores by selecting 'Show ranges' in 'My report preferences.
There are three ways that the categories can be displayed:
- Grades only - without the category totals column
- Collapsed - Category total column only
- Full view - grades and the aggregates (the totals column for the category)
Each section has a small icon immediately to the right of its name. Clicking this will cycle through these display modes for that category. + goes to grades only view, o goes to full view and - goes to collapsed view.
Highlighting rows and columns
When your gradebook starts to grow, it can be hard to keep track of which student and which assignment a cell refers to. Highlighting solves that.
- Clicking on empty space in the cell that contains the students name will toggle the highlighting of that entire row
- Clicking on empty space in the cell at the top of each column will toggle highlighting of the entire column
(Note: this requires Javascript to be enabled in your browser.)
Sorting by columns
You can sort by any column. Click the Move.gif symbol near the top of a column to sort by that column. This will change the symbol to a single down arrow. Clicking again will sort lowest-to-highest, changing the symbol to an up arrow. The arrows will toggle between these two states until you click on a different column.
The student name columns do not have the Move symbol. Clicking on either the first or last name will cause the report to sort.
Highlighting scores that are either adequate or unacceptable in red and green
Turn editing on and click on the edit icon in the controls cell at the top of the column. You can then (maybe need to click 'show advanced') see the option to enter a 'grade to pass'. Once set, any grades falling above this will be highlighted in green and any below will be highlighted in red.
Note that the highlighting will not show if the Grader report is viewed in the editing mode.
Horizontal scrollbar
A horizontal scrollbar enables teachers to scroll grades in the grader report. (Note that this feature is not available for IE6 users or for users who have the screen reader setting in their profile set to Yes.)
Filtering the gradebook by groups
If you change the course settings Group mode to Visible groups or Separate groups a drop-down menu will appear in the gradebook to allow you to filter your students by groups.
Editing
Note: Editing anything in the gradebook refers to editing the grades only and none of the available operations bear any relationship to editing the main course page i.e. the appearance of your course page cannot be influenced by anything you do in the gradebook. The "Turn editing on" button functions separately from the main course one, so editing can be on in the gradebook, but simultaneously off when you switch back to course view. This is because editing grades and editing the course page are separate capabilities. Roles such as 'non-editing teacher' may only have one or the other.
Altering the grades
You can click "Turn editing on" at the top right to show an edit icon next to each grade. Clicking on the icon will bring up the editing screen for that grade which will allow you to set the grade, its written feedback and a number of other attributes.
Alternatively, you can choose "Quick grading" and "Quick feedback" in 'My preferences' to make the report appear with editable boxes containing each grade, so you can change many at once. This capability can be a real time saver, but make sure to save at reasonable intervals lest a pageful of changes be lost.
Note: If you make changes here, they are then shown highlighted to indicate grades which have been manually changed.
Hiding columns or individual grades
Turning on editing then clicking the "Show show/hide icons" link will give you the familiar show/hide eye icon next to each grade and at the top of each column. For more information, read about grade hiding.
Note
The above information from about the gradebook is originally from moodle.org, and can be found at the following web address: https://docs.moodle.org/29/en/Gradebook

Assignment
The assignment module allows teachers to collect work from students, review it and provide feedback including grades. The work students submit is visible only to the teacher and not to the other students unless a a group assignment is selected.
Create a New Assignment
In order to create a new assignment within your Moodle course, turn editing on, click the “Add activity or resource” option within the appropriate topic space, select assignment, and click the add button.
Assignment Settings
General
Within the general section of the Assignment settings page you will have the option to set the name and the description of the assignment. By default the description will only appear on the assignment page after the student click on it. There is an option to include the description on the main course page if it’s more appropriate there.
Availability
These settings provide the options necessary to limit the time frame the students have to submit there assignments.
Allow submissions from: If enabled, students will not be able to submit before this date. If disabled, students will be able to start submitting right away.
Due Date: This is when the assignment is due. Submissions will still be allowed after this date but any assignments submitted after this date are marked as late. To prevent submissions after a certain date - set the assignment cut off date.
Cut-off Date: If set, the assignment will not accept submissions after this date without an extension.
Always Show Description: If disabled, the Assignment Description above will only become visible to students at the "Allow submissions from" date.
Submission types
There are two types of ways students can submit assignments. Online text, where the student types there work directly into Moodle, or File submissions, where the student does there work in another program, such as Microsoft Word, and uploads that document into Moodle.
Word Limit
If online text submissions are enabled, this is the maximum number of words that each student will be allowed to submit.
Maximum number of uploaded files
If file submissions are enabled, each student will be able to upload up to this number of files for their submission.
Maximum submission size
If file submissions are enabled, each student will be able to upload up to this number of files for their submission.
Feedback types
Feedback comments: If enabled, the marker can leave feedback comments for each submission.
Feedback files: If enabled, the teacher will be able to upload files with feedback when marking the assignments. These files may be, but are not limited to marked up student submissions, documents with comments or spoken audio feedback.
Offline grading worksheet: If enabled, the teacher will be able to download and upload a worksheet with student grades when marking the assignments.
Comment inline: If enabled, the submission text will be copied into the feedback comment field during grading, making it easier to comment inline (using a different colour, perhaps) or to edit the original text.
Submission settings
Require students click submit button: If enabled, students will have to click a Submit button to declare their submission as final. This allows students to keep a draft version of the submission on the system. If this setting is changed from "No" to "Yes" after students have already submitted those submissions will be regarded as final.
Require that students accept the submission statement: Require that students accept the submission statement for all submissions to this assignment.
Attempts reopened: Determines how student submission attempts are reopened. The available options are:
- Never - The student submission cannot be reopened.
- Manually - The student submission can be reopened by a teacher.
- Automatically until pass - The student submission is automatically reopened until the student achieves the grade to pass value set in the Gradebook (Categories and items section) for this assignment.
Maximum attempts: The maximum number of submissions attempts that can be made by a student. After this number of attempts has been made the student's submission will not be able to be reopened.
Group submission settings
Students submit in groups: If enabled students will be divided into groups based on the default set of groups or a custom grouping. A group submission will be shared among group members and all members of the group will see each other’s changes to the submission.
Require all group members submit: If enabled, all members of the student group must click the submit button for this assignment before the group submission will be considered as submitted. If disabled, the group submission will be considered as submitted as soon as any member of the student group clicks the submit button.
Grouping for student groups: This is the grouping that the assignment will use to find groups for student groups. If not set - the default set of groups will be used.
Notifications
Notify graders about submissions: If enabled, graders (usually teachers) receive a message whenever a student submits an assignment, early, on time and late. Message methods are configurable.
Notify graders about late submissions: If enabled, graders (usually teachers) receive a message whenever a student submits an assignment late. Message methods are configurable.
Default setting for "Notify students": Set the default value for the "Notify students" checkbox on the grading form.
Grade
Grade: Select the type of grading used for this activity. If "scale" is chosen, you can then choose the scale from the "scale" dropdown. If using "point" grading, you can then enter the maximum grade available for this activity.
Grading method: Choose the advanced grading method that should be used for calculating grades in the given context. To disable advanced grading and switch back to the default grading mechanism, choose 'Simple direct grading'.
Grade category: This setting controls the category in which this activity's grades are placed in the gradebook.
Blind marking: Blind marking hides the identity of students to markers. Blind marking settings will be locked once a submission or grade has been made in relation to this assignment.
Use marking workflow: If enabled, marks will go through a series of workflow stages before being released to students. This allows for multiple rounds of marking and allows marks to be released to all students at the same time.
Use marking allocation: If enabled together with marking workflow, markers can be allocated to particular students.
Viewing Assignments
In order to view the students assignments, click on the assignment link from the main course page.
This summary page provides an overview of how many students are in the class, how many submitted, and the number of submissions left to grade.
In order to see each individual submission click the “View/grade all submissions” link located under the grading summary.
In this view you will see a list of each of the students and their file submissions. To download a file click on file name under the File submissions heading for the appropriate student.
In order to grade the assignment, send a feedback file, and leave a comment after reviewing the student’s submission, you will need to click the edit icon under the grade column for that student.
