First of all she ran through the levels which denote the rights that you have, the lowest level is a guest who has no rights, then a student, a teacher with no rights, a teacher with rights and the highest level is a manager.
Then she went on to recap previous sessions she had given about learning and learning by teaching and highlighted some tools that students prefer to use because they are available on their smartphones.
From the list that Nellie gave us earlier the tools that students are likely to prefer are movenote, presentme, plotagon and slidespeech.
We talked about the tinymce editor in the moodle which is a rich editor because it has the ability to include multimedia. You need to click on the symbol at the left of the task bar to see the other 2 task bars. The multimedia sections are called PoodLL.
The next part of our assignments were then given to us and we were told that we now have manager rights to be able to carry out these assignments.
As a manager we get to create tabs, hide tabs and label our tabs. Then we can turn on editing and add blocks. Blocks are apps and plugins you can add and work on, these facilitate the use of general tools. She showed us how to insert plugins and there is a complete list here These are listed on moodle and administrators can add blocks for other people to use.
I had trouble following the video to see exactly what Nellie was doing so I found this video by Moodle on youtube. (Problem solved later - son hogging bandwidth!)
There are actually a whole series of bites-size videos on this channel. There is also a complete rundown of how to use moodle here by Russell Stannard of teachertrainingvideos. (I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but Russell's videos are usually very thorough.
Nellie talked about one of the blocks for badges and then showed us how to gain our badges in this MOOC. (I think this would have been nice to see earlier in the course - maybe day 1 or 2)
Thank you for this informative video.
