====== Quick start ======

Login with your [[https://hrz-wiki.jade-hs.de/de/tp/uadm/accessdata|University access data]] in the Moodle of the Jade University of Applied Sciences - https://moodle.jade-hs.de/moodle/. 


The [[en:moodle:navigation:dashboard:start|Dashboard]] shows your courses in the overview. Here you can: 
  * use the filter function (future/current/past courses). 
  * mark courses as favorites
  * see current dates

===== Course room search =====
 
In the [[en:moodle:navigation:search:start|Course room search]] you can enter module names or names of lecturers. 

===== Orientation =====

Courses are organized into course spaces (similar to folders). 
The [[en:moodle:navigation:start|path navigation]] in Moodle is used for orientation. You can always see which course and course areas you are in.

===== Your own course =====

You can [[en:moodle:course:request:start|request]] a new course room. However, in some departments courses are created centrally (via the dean's office), please check there. 

By default you will find a [[en:moodle:activities:forum:start|Forum]] "Announcements" in your course, in which only you have write access. Posts will be sent to registered students at their HS mail address.
Everything else you can design yourself, e.g.. 
  * [[en:moodle:activities:zoom:start|Integrate zoom meetings]]
  * [[en:moodle:activities:textpage:start|Create text pages]] 
  * [[en:moodle:activities:file:start|Upload files]] 

To get an overview of all course participants, you can view the [[en:moodle:user:list:start|participation list]]. You can add more participants or remove them. 


===== What can you do as a "teacher" in the course? =====

In the [[en:moodle:user:role:start|role]] "Teacher" you have the right to write and edit in your course. \\
Click the button "Turn editing on" in the upper right corner. 

{{:en:moodle:overview:quickguide:turn_editing_on.png?200|}}

You can now:
  * Edit the names of the sections
  * design required [[en:moodle:activities:start|Activities]] yourself 
  * upload [[en:moodle:activities:file:start|files]], e.g. simply by drag&drop
  * [[en/moodle/settings/sections/start#add_course_section|add]] sections/topics , [[en/moodle/settings/sections/start#move_course_sections|move]] them to other positions and  [[en/moodle/settings/sections/start#hide_course_sections|hide]] or [[en/moodle/settings/sections/start#delete_course_sections|delete]] them. 



=====Edit course settings =====

In the [[en:moodle:settings:start|course settings]] you have different options. Here you can:
  * edit the [[en:moodle:settings:name:start|course name]] or the [[en:moodle:settings:description:start|course description]]. Note: The course section can only be changed by the Moodle team, Please feel free to [[en:contact:contact:start|contact us]] .
  * [[en:moodle:settings:visible:start|enable/disable course visibility]]. 
  * [[en:moodle:settings:date:start|Start and end]] dates. Note: The dates only affect the filter in the dashboard, e.g. "ongoing courses". To control access to courses, see [[en:moodle:user:enrolself:start|self-enrollment]]
  * the [[en:moodle:settings:description:start|course description]] (short, please) and change the [[en:moodle:settings:image:start|course picture]]
  * enable a [[en:moodle:settings:completion:start|completion tracking]] so that students can see their progress in the course

===== How do students get into the course? =====

When your course is set up and ready to be presented, there are different options for [[en:moodle:user:enrolself:start]].
  * self-enrollment for students 
  * optional: Enrollment key (case sensitive)
  * optional: Define maximum number of participants

If you do not want to allow additional enrollments in your course, set the following in the settings: 
  * "Allow new enrollments": no. 
  * "Allow existing enrollments": Yes

===== Forums =====

There are two different types of [[en:moodle:activities:forum:start|forums]]: 
  * the [[en:moodle:activities:forum:start: #announcements |announcements forum]], students cannot reply or unsubscribe. 
  * [[en:moodle:activities:forum:start:#general_forum |general forum]]: If you set the [[en:moodle:activities:forum:start:#subscription_and_tracking |Subscription]] to "automatic", all students are subscribed by default, but can unsubscribe themselves if they wish.

===== Offer a poll or choice =====

The [[en:moodle:activities:choice:start|choice]] activity module enables a teacher to ask a single question and offer a selection of possible responses. Use the choice activity, if you want to assign topics or create a simple poll for course participants. 
===== Collecting work ===== 
The assignment activity module enables a teacher to communicate tasks, collect work and provide grades and feedback.


  * [[en/moodle/activities/assignment/start#set_up_an_assignment|Set up an assignment]]
  * [[en/moodle/activities/assignment/start#grade_assignments|Evaluate assignments]]
  * [[en/moodle/activities/assignment/start#download_all_assignments_save_results|Download all submissions]] 
  * [[en/moodle/activities/assignment/start#delete_all_submissions|Delete all submissions]]

Students can submit one or more files and see their submission status.

===== Reusing courses (next semester) =====

Depending on your department, there may be special procedures, please contact your dean's office for more information.
You can either ...    
  * [[en/moodle/course/semester/start#option_1reusing_your_course|reuse your course]] or 
  * [[en/moodle/course/semester/start#option_2requesting_a_new_course|order a new course]].  \\
Content can then be [[en/moodle/course/export/start#exportimport_course_content|imported from the previous course]].
===== Course backup =====  

Moodle courses will automatically create a [[en:moodle:course:export:start|course backup]] on a regular basis when there are changes. Please get in touch as soon as possible if something needs to be restored from the backup.
