I just signed up and want to start a wiki for people who teach ESL 4. Previously, I was a member of a workshop that used the Moodle wiki.
The instructions say to "click the "turn editing on" button. I believe I also read that I could find it after clicking on "administration."
However, I can't find the page where I can click on "administration" or "turn editing on."
Please help.
Thank you!
Hi Richard,
Just about every editing command in Moodle needs you to turn the editing on. Log in to a course and look at the top right of the page. Next to your name should be a button "turn editing on". That means you will be able to add and edit resources and activities.
The "administration" note refers to a block (which may or may not be turned on in your Moodle. If it is it is usually on the left hand column at the top. The first command there is "turn editing on". Click on that and you get the same effect. There's usuaslly at least 2 ways to do anyting in Moodle!
Enjoy the wiki. If you need more ideas go to the Wiki page
Cheers,
Paul

Hi Richard. Just checking -when you say you "just signed up" - you don't mean that you are wanting to start a wiki on this site do you? This isn't for using Moodle with your classes/colleagues; this is for discussing and downloaing Moodle and that is why you don't see the administration or turn editing on links.
Hi Moodle/Wiki Users,
I'm with you Richard! Where do I go??? Although I've already started a Wiki page on my grad course for my students to keep a list of course-related resources ... But it is not, in my opinion, user friendly.
On the up-side, I started a Wiki home page (completely unassociated with Moodle or my Moodle grad course) for my K-5 Computer classes and am doing famously.
The hitch .... It would appear that the Wiki 'website' and the Moodle 'website' do not seem to work together at all. It seems like the Moodle Wiki is a stand alone wiki.
Confused in PA and 5 grad students waiting for me to fix the problem is stressing me out .. AND, on the 4th of July too!

Hi Bonnie and Richard,
This forum I'm replying to you on, is part of Moodle.org where the users and creators of Moodle discuss and solve problems.
It's not a Moodle site (platform, course) that you and your fellow teachers can control yourselves in your school/institution/university/...
You need to have some technical knowledge to download and set up a copy of Moodle in your workplace.
Once set up by a technical person, an ordinary teacher in their own Moodle course can usually work out (with some help from all the tutorials provided by Mary Cooch and others) how to add resources and (a little more difficult) activities such as forums, wikis, glossaries, chats and so on.
I managed it and I'm just an English teacher.
Cheers,
Glenys

Hi Glenys,
Thanks for your concern....However, my university already has Moodle in the workplace (I'm an online instructor at a major university; although I am only in my third month of this new endeavor
). I therefore, am a Moodle user 
. Maybe I posted my query on the wrong thread. I do believe I worked out my 'wiki' problems. It appears that the 'wiki' is self-contained in Moodle. At least that is how it looks on my course page. Students have been editing my wiki as well as creating their own.
Now my next monumental problem is trying to figure out how my students can upload their assignments so that all other students can view (download) the assignments, then comment/reflect/evaluate on the assignments and give advice and brainstorm. Can you point me in the right direction?
