Moodle community sites

Hello, 

For this page, https://learn.moodle.org/mod/page/view.php?id=124209, the instruction told me to upload csv file. If you can link some possible csv files to test, it is better.

Anyhow, thank you very much for the course.

The course is very much clear on its idea

Good Moodle Admin intro course. Any chance that this could be made available for download or through LTI? I would like to be able to track our user's completion of the course.

This is a great course which is very well presented. This is a good self-study package with a good mix of text, video and interactive content.

I like the use of the book tool with embedded H5P content. This seems to set the standard for well-presented and easy to use and create activities for providing learner interaction and for checking knowledge and understanding within the task. At the moment this H5P activity isn't tracked in the gradebook, so the tutor and the learner can't view a record of performance in these formative tasks. Hopefully it will be possible to track this activity in the future, once the H5P content creator is part of core Moodle. I think this may already be possible but only if the embed code from the activities created using the Moodle H5P plugin is used.

Thanks again to everyone involved in creating and sharing this really useful course.

It is very well prepared. Despite being an old Moodler, It organizes the scattered bits of information in my mind about Moodle administration. It is to the pint for every one who needs to be a Moodle admin. 

its very nice.neat and crisp videos

Hi 

I'm midway through the course and I find the course very interesting and well built. 

I would have one suggestion. In the videos, there are links to the moodle documentation. It would be nice for the links to be added in the page/book chapter itself that we can click on it. 

The course group video, at 3:08, you says to add the users to the group, select them from the box on the left and move them to the box on the right. However on the screen (and I guess in real), it is the other way around.

Many thanks for creating that course. 

Love it. 

Regards

Correct answer omits - Site administration / Users... -  but perhaps this was intentional so as to not make the question too easy.

I thought the course was a very good, basic overview of the most important aspects of admin options. However, I have gone through these sections twice and completed the quiz questions, but can't get them to get checked off so that I can get the certificate. I am using Firefox on Mac OS 10.14.6. Any thoughts on how to get through the roadblock here?

My only suggestion is to indicate what type of resource is used to create the different elements in the course for those of us who are teachers or helping teachers. For example, it seemed like the sections were created using the book resource, but they had quiz questions embedded. Is that a lesson instead? It wasn't clear and it would be super helpful to know.

Thank you!

The video narrator says if everything goes right they'll receive and email....

What if I make a mistake, like entering the wrong email address?  When I edit the user and correct my mistake there's no longer an option to "Generate password and notify user", so the only path forward was to deleted the user and started over.  Is there a better method?

Helen,

While viewing Site Administration features suggested in the course I discovered something odd in the Reports > Security overview.

The following item does not jibe with   User Policies > Default role for all users.

"Default role for all users   Critical   The default user role "Authenticated user" is incorrectly defined!

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Hi I created an account on moodle.org but I cannot connect to Mount Orange School to be able to create lessons. Every time I tried to log in with my credentials it refused. I watched a lot of tutorials, it seems so easy but I don't understand why I can't connect to create lessons because I have an urgent project to manage.

I had to create another account on learn.moodle.org to try but without success. So I'm really disappointed, because it's been two weeks since I still don't understand the why.

I hope to have your help to finally use the platform for my projects. Thank you

please. Thanks

Thank you so much for your valuable input and sharing the useful information.

Thank you for the course. I found it helpful and very interesting. Thank you. 

Its amazing when i was going through the Moodle Admin Basics. Thanks.

Excellent ! Though I am using Moodle from 8 years, the quiz was not so easy. Very close options. I like it. 🙂

This has been very informative and I hope I would learn more in the construction of courses

Well prepared!

The tutorials are really  good and insightful. 

Thank you !

I don't know how I could have missed learning these tasks in the lesson. If you could point me in the right direction, that would be great. Firstly, I don't' know how to edit the course category so it has a default number of sections (I can only see this option within course settings), and secondly, I have no idea about creating a course in a CSV file. Have I started the suggested tasks too early in the course?

An idea for improvement.

Unless I've misunderstood the video, the correct answer below should be an activity or resource. 

I am new to the platform but I am delighted with the many applications that can be used in this ... it is great

This module was excellent in explaining the 'how to do things' in a very simple and clear style.

Very useful for beginner like me

Hi, I really enjoyed this course, thank you.

I was wondering if you could add a <hr> to the top (or bottom, but I think top looks better) in the text of each of these question options, to make the question a bit easier to read.

For example,

<p>This can be used as a basic framework of content for new courses</p>
<hr>

Many thanks,

Tish

Hello, me again - I found it unusual that there is an 'all of these' option for this type of question. I haven't encountered this on a multiple-response multiple-choice question before, as normally I'd say the participant can select them all from this list rather than the one that says 'all of these'. Is there a way it works with the grading of the question? That is, have you chosen this to make it a fairer option because it stops the participant from selecting all of the options with the intention to 'catch' all of the correct answers in their net, and therefore getting the question right? I'm curious to know! Or am I way off?

Many thanks,

Tish

Hi again, last one, I promise!

I did some of the course on my mobile, and this quiz question displayed like this. I didn't notice this on any other quiz questions.

Thanks,

Tish

The course was absolutely superb, highly informative which helped me a lot in discovering many new features. 

Just had a problem with the last question of the quiz "make more of your site". The question behaved strangely. You can look at the last two screenshots, where the same answer fetched me two different marks.

Very useful and needed too. I need to start with badges and clarity on competencies too.

i would like to know more about competencies and learning plan

I learnt a lot in this course. I am new to MOODLE Admininstration and I am grateful to the MOODLE developers to have this course available to us.

While working through the videos I came to the Admin Basics / Add Users section. The quiz for that section seems to cover material that wasn't in the videos or the text documentation presented with them. It's possible I simply missed something, but from what I can tell the following were not covered and are on the quiz: groups, "classes of learners", restricting access to courses, troubleshooting signup issues, "OAuth 2", and "cohort sync". This was just from when I took it, and I understand there can be other questions.

Easy and quick to learn. The flow of the course is very good.
