Hello,
I am a new user, trying to learn the ropes of course design with a free trial account on MoodleCloud.
Is it possible to have a "course blog" that is displayed on the main course screen? My preferred online teaching method is to have a blog that greets the students and tells them what they are supposed to be doing that week. Because it is in a blog format, they can easy page forward and back and look at past entries as well, and everything is chronologically ordered.
So far I've managed to turn on blogs, and create a blog entry that is connected to my profile.
1) Can I make that blog display as part of the course content (as a section, I guess?)
2) Does "turning on blogs" allow all students to have blogs? That is not necessarily what I want, I want an instructor's blog. (I guess I am fuzzy on whether "users" means me the instructor, or all students as well.)
3) Is there some other resource I should be using that can behave this way, that is not called a blog?
Hope this question makes sense.
