Hello moodlers! I have moved to a new online home, see you there.
Hello
This is a collection of 2 Minute Moodles – an attempt to simplify and show how to use a range of Moodle features. The list will grow as I find time to cook some more.
The tutorials try not to assume too much previous knowledge and are presented for the pragmatical and not necessarily tech-savy users (Moodle purists please excuse). They are a bit like that product I got the pun from – something quick and simple to get you going.
Did you know all these clips are now in clear, HD channel at Vimeo? Please, help yourself here.
The first batch is about the basic of Moodle.
Let’s start with a 5 minute introduction to Moodle as a Lego analogy – what is it, what are its main features, the thinking behind it and some facts on the world of Moodle – watch video (length 5:04)
There is a shorter version of ‘Moodle explained using Lego”? – (watch video – length 2:43) or even a slideshow -click here to access it.
This clip explains the main ‘roles’ of people in Moodle – worth a watch to get the idea – (watch video- length 2:42)
Then, you are ready to login (at least the community of Belmont City College…) – (watch video – length 1:14)
Once logged in, you can start creating a course – here is how you do that – (watch video – length 7:32)
Students can enrol themselves or you can specify who and when gets in – (watch video – length 4:29)
For more basic information about the enrolment options, see this clip – (watch video – length 3:35)
Ready to edit your course? See the clip about the magic ‘Turn editing on’ button – (watch video – length 4:45)
The second batch of 2 Minute Moodles looks at how to work with files, folders and other common starting features.
See how to navigate through a Moodle site using ‘breadcrumbs’ – watch video (length 2:48)
Learn how to keep an eye on the activity of course participants – watch video (length 4:11)
Just how to add files as a teacher (or administrator) – watch video (length 3:17)
Adding labels can be very handy to break up the screen – watch video (length 1:33)
Add a simple text page – watch video (length 1:32)
To answer a popular question ‘how do I add a website link’ watch this clip – watch video (length 2:36)
See how quite simple it is to add your own webpage to your course – watch video (length 6:07)
Just how do you de-clutter the screen and display a folder of resource – watch video (length 2:04)
For some general info and tips on working with files and folders have a look below – watch video (length 2:39)
How to embed a video from YouTube or other video sharing sites – watch video (length 2:29)
How to add a video to a webpage in Moodle – watch video (length 2:08)
The third batch looks at how to use popular communication tools in Moodle
Have a look how to open a (very popular) chatroom – watch video (length 2:34)
See how simple it really is to set up and run a forum (examples provided) -watch video (length 6:46)
Learn how to open a dialogue (non-standard in Moodle 1.9 but useful, examples) – watch video (length 5:23)
When enabled, messaging in Moodle is pretty easy -watch video (length 2:14)
The humble wiki is a hugely versatile staple of Moodle -watch video (length 6:36)
Ever experienced the effect of blogs on students’ literacy? Here is how to blog with Moodle -watch video (length 3:04)
The fourth batch covers Moodle’s main evaluation tools.
Set up a choice activity, often a starting point for many Moodlers – watch video(length 5:05)
Quizzes in Moodle are renowned for their range of options, flexibility and management tools. See it for yourself – watch video(length 11:21; not quite 2 minutes I know…)
Setting, submission and management of assignments in Moodle is not difficult – watch video(length 8:07)
Quick and sassy poll often has all we need to quickly gather accurate data – watch video (length 2:46)
And here is a clip on that Swiss Army Knife of tools called database (a communication, collaboration and evaluation tool) – watch video (length 12:04)
Note: This is not an exhustive list of evaluation tools in Moodle, merely a list of most used tools at our school. Lesson, Workshop and Survey are standard features of Moodle that can be used in evaluation but are not described here ( maybe another time…). In addition, Moodle database if full of goodies in this department, well worth a look.
As I work at a college that has just been issued Moodle as a replacement for our old Blackboard VLE. I have found your tutorials invaluable in learning how it works and passing the information onto the rest of my peers.
Does anyone know how to add an image in Moodle that when clicked opens a window and begins playing a video? (wmv) When I set it up: insert image, and link it to a video to open in a new page, it does not work. I click the photo and nothing happens. Sometimes after setting it up i set the image and below it the video clip. Suggestions?
When I play with the html (remove image part) I see it in Internet Explorer (but not the way I want it) but not in Firefox.
Thank you so much for going to the time and trouble to get the links hooked back up. I use these with my teachers all the time. I really appreciate all the work you have gone to inorder to put these valuable resources out there to be shared.
Wonderful videos — thank you so much for sharing them so freely! I’m just learning Moodle (have used DreamWeaver for years) and am really enjoying all that you can do with it.
Thanks for these great resources. We have referenced them from our Moodle hub for NZ school (http://www.moodleinschools.org.nz/) and appreciate you for sharing.

That’s known that cash makes people disembarrass. But what to do when someone doesn’t have money? The one way only is to get the credit loans or sba loan.
Lucky to have your blog! This is very good, please allow me to offer: just a suggestion: if you add some pictures, it will be easy to follow! I wish you good luck!
It’s so lucky for me to find your blog! So shocking and great! Just one suggestion: It will be better and easier to follow if your blog can offer rrs subscription service.
Supra footwear are some of the most fashionable I have seen in a long time and I think they are state of the art, seriously if you buy a pair concider it an investment because you can bet they will be worth big bucks in the future.
If you are looking for lightweight shoes, Supra shoes low with many models, colors and styles to choose from. Some say Supra shoes is by far the best sneaker. A truly superior sneaker.
Very happy to see your article, I very much to like and agree with your point of view. Thank you for sharing. At the same time,i love golf umbrella very much .Welcome to look at my website and blog articles.Hope we can become good
friends, and exchange and to help each other! Thanks!!
Everybody know mbt barabara black for Masai Barefoot Technology.The company that makes mbt maliza brown is Swiss Masai.This mbt chapa navy creates a natural, uneven walking surface and forces the body to use all the major and stabilsing muscle groups, thus training the whole body to move correctly.
mbt barabara shoes suit for the person who like running over walking, so covering the distances required in crowds is frustrating and uncomfortable, and standing for long periods is absolutely painful. Whether the mbt maliza black, for health, I think the mbt shoes may be overlooked mbt shadow shoes still despite what I’d consider to be tangible benefits.

Man So there’s this man with a parrot. And his parrot swears like a sailor, I mean he’s a pistol. He can swear for five minutes straight without repeating himself. The trouble is that the guy who owns the parrot is a quiet, conservative type, and this bird’s foul mouth is driving him crazy. One day, it gets to be too much, so the guy grabs the bird by the throat, shakes him really hard, and yells, “QUIT IT!” But this just makes the bird mad and he swears more than ever. Then the guy gets mad and says, “That’s it. I’ll get you.” and locks the bird in a kitchen cabinet. This really aggravates the bird and he claws and scratches, and when the guy finally lets him out, the bird cuts loose with a stream of invective that would make a veteran sailor blush. At that point, the guy is so mad that he throws the bird into the freezer. For the first few seconds, there is a terrible din. The bird kicks and claws and thrashes. Then it suddenly goes very quiet. At first the guy just waits, but then he starts to think that the bird may be hurt. After a couple of minutes of silence, he’s so worried that he opens up the freezer door. The bird calmly climbs onto the man’s outstretched arm and says, “Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you. I’ll do my best to improve my vocabulary from now on.” The man is astounded. He can’t understand the transformation that has come over the parrot. Then the parrot says, “By the way, what did the chicken do?”
After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car, his father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy replied, “That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home and I wanted to stay with you guys.”
The tutorials try not to assume too much previous knowledge and are presented for the pragmatical and not necessarily tech-savy users (Moodle purists please excuse). They are a bit like that product I got the pun from – something quick and simple to get you going.

Hi Tomaz – Great videos! We’ve been highlighting them to users for a long time.
I’ve just noticed that techertube has pulled a fast one and completely changed the way videos are referenced. For example I think http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=db28ef127627901de291 is now http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=47462&title=Poll_in_Moodle
