5. Let’s Begin.

6. Course
A course is where the content to be taught is present in a
systematic manner. Content is authored carefully by the tutor with
the intention of successfully imparting knowledge to the one who is
going through it.

8. Category
It is a group of functionalities that have a common use. You can
categorise courses, actions, user roles and entries on Moodle.

10. Activity
An activity can be any task that makes a student interact with
other students or the teacher. Moodle gives plenty of options to
the teacher to choose from, for creating activities for the students.

12. Resource
Resources are like attachments- they can be added to a course to
drive across their point using an external link, document or file.

14. Blocks
Blocks are clickable shortcuts which can be added to a course with
different purposes. Sometimes these blocks belong to the current
theme, to the plugins being used or they’re present in the default
settings.

16. Plugin
These are small applications with big uses. Plugins can either
be downloaded for free or bought from an online store.

18. Filter
Filters are helpful while creation of a course. When turned on, these
filters convert or allow specific conversions of text to other formats like
emoticons, hyperlinks and mathematical symbols.

20. Role
A ‘role’ defines what a user is allowed to do or not do on Moodle. If a
user is enrolled as a student, they won’t be able to access the course
creation page, edit activities or assess assignments.

22. Theme
Themes are “skins” that can be applied to your Moodle site to be able to
customise how your website looks from outside. Certain themes like RemUI
may also allow you to brand your institute or company along with additional
perks for eLearning.

24. SCORM
‘Shareable Content Object Reference Model’ is a package which makes course
content compatible on all platforms. If your LMS is SCORM compliant then you can
run any SCORM package on it. If you’re working with Moodle- you need not fret
because Moodle is already compliant with it.
