Browsers
Moodle 2’s features work best with the Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer 10 or Safari 6
browsers. Some of its features, such as drag & drop, do not work in Internet Explorer 9 or Safari
5.
Gaining Access to Moodle 2
In myWofford, click on the Moodle 2 link in the System Links
section.
You will see an overview of your courses. There may be several
listed. The current courses will be at the bottom of the list, shaded
in gray.
Click on the course for which you want to create a home page.
The Course Homepage
At the beginning, your course
Homepage will look something like
this.
The Homepage has three columns.
The left and right columns contain
blocks that display menus and
other useful information.
The center section is where you
will put information about your
course.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 3
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Docking Blocks
The blocks in the left and right columns take up a lot of space
on the screen. If you like, you can dock the blocks so they
appear as tabs on the left of the Moodle window.
To dock a block, click to the right of the blue line in the icon in
the upper right corner of the block.
Docked blocks appear as tabs on the left side of the Moodle
window. The contents of the block become visible if you point the
mouse at its tab.
If the appearance of your course page is dependent
on the blocks being docked, you will need to tell
your students about it. Each user must dock blocks
on his or her own Moodle page
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 4
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Setting Up Your Course
The first thing you need to do is set up your course. Click on Edit Settings
in the Settings block menu.
This will bring you to an “Edit
Course Settings” page.
Most of the course already will be set
up. Here are some things you might
want to change.
One of your choices will be to arrange your Moodle course
Homepage with a weekly or topics format. The default setting is
topics.
You also can specify how many topics or weeks you wish to
display.
You can specify the course layout: whether you
want all sections of the course to be displayed on
one page or each section to be displayed on a
separate page. We will go into this option later in
these instructions.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 5
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
We will use the “Weekly” format in these instructions.
If you plan on using the gradebook, you may want to
leave “Show gradebook to students” set to Yes.
I usually set this to No until I have the course page and
gradebook set up.
By default, the course page will not be available to students in your class. I recommend leaving
it unavailable until you have the course page set up.
Click on Save Changes at the bottom of the page when you are finished
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 6
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Editing the Course Homepage
Now we can start to edit the Homepage. Click on the Turn
editing on button in the upper right of the Moodle window.
Adding General Information
Now, let’s move to the center column that contains
specific information about your course. First we
will put in the course’s title and brief description.
With editing on, click on the text edit icon in the
General section at the top of of the Moodle
window.
In the text editing workspace, enter the
name of the course. Designate it as the
largest heading, Heading 1, and
Center the text.
You also can add some descriptive text
below the tile, if you should so desire.
Click on Save changes when you are
finished.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 7
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
You will see the text at the
top of the Moodle page.
Adding a Document by Drag & Drop
NOTE: This does not work for
Internet Explorer 9 or Safari 5
You probably will want to post a Word
or PDF document, such as a syllabus or
course schedule, on the Course
Homepage.
With most browsers, you can easily add
the file for the document by drag and
drop.
Adding a Document as a File
If you cannot use drag & drop to
add a document, click on Add an
activity or resource
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 8
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
You will see a window with a list of activities and
resources. Select File under Resources.
Then click on Add.
In the “Adding a new File” window,
enter the Name of the file and a
Description of the file.
The click on Add under Content.
In the File picker that appears, click on
Upload a file.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 9
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Then Choose the file using its location on your own computer.
When the file has been chosen, Upload it.
When this process is complete, you should see an icon for the
file in the “Select files” area.
When you are through, click on Save and return to the course at the bottom of the “Adding a
new File” window.
Links to the documents now will be on the
Homepage.
You can post any kind of file: Word,
Excel, PDF, PowerPoint, audio, video, etc.
Linking to a Web Site
You also can add a link to an external web site. Let’s add a link to the Honor Code on the
Wofford web site:
http://www.wofford.edu/uploadedFiles/studentLife/0708HonorCode.pdf
Click on Add an activity or resource and select URL from the
Resources list.

Adding an Image
You may want to add your picture
and contact information in the
heading of your page.
After you are finished, the
General section at the top of the
course page will look like this
when the editing has been turned
off.
Click on the Text Edit icon for the General section of the course page,
which will be located directly above the document and URL links you have
added.
In the set of Edit icons, click on the Toggle full screen icon to show a larger editing window.
Add the text shown below and space all the text down one row to separate it from the title.
Locate the cursor in

28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Click on the Insert Image icon in the set of text editor icons.
In the “Insert/Edit Image” window that appears, click
on Find or upload an image.
Do the following in the “File Picker”
window.
1. Click on Upload a file
2. Click on Choose File
3. Find the file on your computer.
When you have selected it you
should see its name beside the
“Choose File” button
4. Click on Upload this file.
You should see the picture in the “Preview”
section at this point.
Enter a name in the Image description text box.
Click on the Appearance tab.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 13
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Under the “Appearance” tab specify the following:
Set the Alignment to Right
Set the Horizontal Space to 10. This creates some
space around the picture so that the text won’t run
right up to its borders.
Set the Border to 1.
Note that you can change the dimensions of the image if you
so desire.
Click on Insert when you are ready.
Toggle the full-screen icon again so
you are back to the smaller editing
window.
The picture may not be visible in this
view. In this case, you will see the
name you gave it.
Click on Save Changes.
Setting Up a Week or a Topic
Let’s set up one of the weeks (or topics, if that is what you are using) to give students
information about course activities for that week. We will do the following:
1. Change the section heading
2. Add some descriptive text for the week’s activities
3. Create another page describing the students’ assignments for the week.
4. Store three PDF documents in a folder on the Moodle page.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 14
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Changing a Section Heading
We will do this by editing the summary for the week (or topic).
Click on the Edit summary icon under the week or topic
heading.
Do the following:
1. Uncheck the “Use default section name” box
2. Enter a new Section Name (In this example, “Aug 28 – Sep 3: Big Data”)
3. Inside the text editing box, press the Enter key to space down one row.
4. Enter some descriptive text for the topic.
5. Click on Save Changes
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 15
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Adding another Page
You are not limited to putting all the course information on the main course page. We can add
other pages linked from the main course page. Let’s add another page describing the students’
assignments for the week.
Click on Add an activity or resource in this section of the course page.
Select Page under “Resources” and click on Add.
Enter a name and a brief
description of the page.
In the Page Content
section, enter what you
want the students to see
when they go to this page.
When you are ready, click
on Save and return to
course.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 16
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
You will see a link to the new page on the main course page.
If you click on the link, you will see the new web page with the content that you entered.
You can return to the main course
page by clicking on either the
browser’s back arrow or the name
of the course in the navigation
string (WEC1 in this example).
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 17
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Storing Files in a Folder
If you are furnishing links to several documents on a Moodle page,
long lists of links can get out of hand and create a very long page
requiring a lot of scrolling to navigate.
If these documents are related to each other in some way – for instance
part of the same assignment – you can store them all in a folder on the
Moodle page to cut down the clutter.
Suppose that you want the students to read three PDF files as part of their
assignment. Let’s set up a folder to hold the files.
Click on Add an activity or resource and add a Folder.
Do the following on the
“Adding a new Folder . . “
page.
1. Give the folder a name
2. Add a description of
the folder.
3. Suppose that you
would like to display
this description on the
course page to explain
what is in the folder.
In this case, check
Display description
on course.”
4. Drag and drop the files
into the folder.
5. Click on Save and
return to course.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 18
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
On the main course page, you will
see a link to the folder.
Because we have chosen to display
the description of the folder, you
also will see the description below
the name of the folder.
If you click on the folder link, you will see a
window with links to the contents of the folder.
Seeing What the Students See
At this point, it might be useful to check what the students are going to
see when they use the course Homepage.
In the Settings block, click on Switch role to and then Student.
This will display the course page as a generic student will see it.
When you are through being a student, click on Return to my normal
role at the top of the page.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 19
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Making Changes
If you want to edit the content of an activity or
resource, click on the Update icon in the string of
icons to the left of the link.
If you want to edit only the title of an activity or
resource, click on the Edit Title icon in the string
of icons to the left of the link
Adding an Assignment
Suppose that you want to assign a writing assignment. You want the students to submit the
completed assignment as a Word document.
You also want to be able to do two things after the assignment has been graded.
Comment on the student’s work
Return an electronic copy of the document that you marked up in Word, maybe with red
text, when you were reviewing it in the process of grading it.
Click on Add an activity or resource and add an Assignment.
The page for setting up an assignment is a long one, with many choices to be made. The
following page outlines a few of these choice.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 20
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
1. Give the assignment a Name
2. Add instructions to the
students about what they
need to do for the assignment
3. Specify when the assignment
is available and the deadline
for submissions. If you don’t
want to do this, uncheck the
Enable boxes.
4. Tell Moodle NOT to notify
you when assignments are
submitted (unless you want a
lot of email messages).
5. If students are to submit
assignments as a file, such as
a Word document, set File
Submissions to Yes. If you
choose Online text, they can
answer the assignment on
Moodle.
6. If you want to give students
feedback, set Feedback
Comments to Yes.
7. If you want to return
annotated copies of the Word
document to students, set
Feedback files to Yes.
8. Enter the Maximum Grade
for the assignment. (I chose
50 in this example.)
9. If you have set up your
gradebook, enter the
Gradebook Category under
which the assignments should
be placed.
10. Click on Save and return to course.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 21
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Adding a Discussion Forum
You may want to post topics designed to encourage an online discussion among the students in
your class. Let’s post some discussion topics.
There are two steps to creating a discussion forum in Moodle:
1. Creating the forum
2. Adding topics to be discussed in this forum
A. Creating a Forum
First the forum.
Click on Add an activity or resource and add a Forum.
Enter the name and a brief
introduction to the forum.
Save and return to course when
you are finished.
This only sets up a framework for the forum. We now must add a topic to discuss.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 22
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
B. Adding a Discussion Topic
To add discussion topics to the forum we just
created, click on the link to the forum on the
course page.
Click on Add a new discussion topic.
Enter the Subject of
the discussion and the
Question you want to
ask to stimulate the
discussion.
I recommend selecting
I don’t want email
copies of posts to the
forum unless you are
fond of email
messages.
Click on Post to
forum.
You should see the discussion topic posted on the
forum. If you click on the link to the topic, you
will see the question.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 23
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Deleting Stuff
If you have decided not to use a particular resource or activity, you can remove it from the
course page.
When editing is on, you will see a line of icons to the right of each
resource and activity. One of the icons is an X, which stands for
delete. If you click on this icon, the resource or activity will be
deleted.
Displaying Each Section on a Different Page
If you are furnishing a lot of
information on Moodle, your
course page quickly can
become very long, which
requires a lot of scrolling to
reach the bottom.
The page shown at the right is a
good example of the “screen
overload” that occurs when you
furnish a lot of information on
Moodle.
This can be fixed in Moodle 2
by displaying each section of
the course on a separate web
page.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 24
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
In the Settings block, choose Edit Settings
In the “Edit Settings” page, select the Course Layout to be Show one
section per page.
Save changes.
When you display one section
per page, the main course page
will display only the section
headings.
Each section heading is a link to
another page that contains the
information for that section.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 25
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Making a Course Available to Students
When you begin, a course by default is not available to students so they cannot see the Moodle
page as you develop it. When you are ready, you can make the course available so that students
have access to it.
To make a course available, select the Settings block
and then Edit Settings. Change “Availability” to
This course is available to students.
Using the Moodle Gradebook
Using the Moodle gradebook is optional, but is a good application of Moodle if you give many
grades in a course. Once you have the gradebook set up, Moodle will do all the averaging. All
you need to do is enter the grades. The gradebook also is an excellent way to keep students
informed about their progress in the course.
A. An Example Course
Let’s assume that grades will be given for the following activities in your course
Assignment #1 50 pts Discussion #1 25 pts Exam #1 100 pts
Assignment #2 50 pts Discussion #2 25 pts Exam #2 200 pts
Assignment #3 50 pts
B. Categories and Items
The Moodle gradebook classifies activities in terms of categories and items.
Item: An activity for which you record a grade.
o The seven activities listed above all are items in the gradebook
Category: A set of similar items.
o For the example course above, there would be three different categories:
Assignments, Discussions, and Exams
We will start out the gradebook for a
course by entering categories. When
the categories are there, then we will
add the items
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 26
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
C. Starting the Gradebook
Open your Moodle course page and click on Grades in the Settings block
menu.
This will bring you to the “Grader Report” version
of the gradebook, which should show your student
names, but, other than the assignment we already
have entered, will be devoid of grading categories
and items.
Using the menu in the upper left corner of the gradebook,
change to the Simple View under Categories and items.
D. Adding Categories
First we will add the three categories: Assignments,
Discussions, and Exams
Click on Add category
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 27
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Start with the Assignments category. Add “Assignments” as
the name.
Generally we will want to leave the maximum grade on the
category at 100%. Moodle treats the maximum grade in a
category as a percentage.
Click on Save Changes
Do the same for the Exams and Discussions categories.
At this point, the Simple View should look
something like the picture on the right.
Save Changes.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 28
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
E. Weighted Mean of Grades1
At this point, we need to tell the gradebook the relative point values of the different categories.
Exam #1 100 pts Exam category = 300 pts
Exam #2 200 pts
Assignment #1 50 pts Assignment category = 150 pts
Assignment #2 50 pts
Assignment #3 50 pts
Discussion #1 25 pts Discussion category = 50 pts
Discussion #2 25 pts
One way of doing this is to change the aggregation method for the course to weighed mean of
grades and use the category point values as weights.2
1 See the Appendix for an explanation of how weighted mean of grades works.
2 There is another way: putting the category point totals in the “Category total” boxes in the Simple View. I have
had problems with this method automatically checking the Extra Credit boxes, which creates problems in the
gradebook., so I avoid it.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 29
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Change the Aggregation for the course to Weighted mean of grades. This will open up a
Weight column. Put the appropriate weights (300, 150, and 50 respectively) in the weight boxes
for the categories.
Click on Save changes.
E. Adding Grade Items
We now have all the categories specified in
the gradebook.
Next, we need to add the grade items
Grade items are items for which you will enter a grade in the gradebook. In our example, we
are using the grade items shown below along with their maximum grades
Exam #1 100 pts Assignment #1 50 pts Discussion #1 25 pts
Exam #2 200 pts Assignment #2 50 pts Discussion #2 25 pts
Assignment #3 50 pts
Let’s add the Exam grade items first.
Make sure that you have Saved changes.
Click on Add grade item.
Enter Exam 1 as the Item Name.
Set the Maximum grade as 100.
Choose Exams as the Grade category
Save changes.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 30
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Repeat the above for the
other exam, giving it a
maximum grade of 200.
When you have done this,
the Simple View of the
course structure should
show two exams in the
Exams category.
Save changes.
Repeat the above for the two Discussions.
Set Maximum grade to 25 for each discussion
Choose Discussions as the Grade Category
Save your changes
F. Moving a Grade Item or Category
When we created Assignment #1 on the main
course page, it automatically inserted it in the
grade book, which had not yet been set up.
Now that the gradebook is set up, we would
like to move the Assignment #1 grade item
into the Assignments category.
Click on the Move
icon in the
Assignment #1
row. (The up-down
arrows icon.)
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 31
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
You now will see rectangles surrounded by dotted lines in each of
the places it is possible to move this grade item.
Click on the rectangle below the Assignments category, where we
would like the Assignments #1 grade item to be.
This will move the assignment to its proper place.
When we enter the other two assignments, we will make sure and place them in the Assignments
category.
Your gradebook now is set up
We have remember that we set the maximum category totals to 100. The category total is
expressed as a percent, so the 100 represents 100%.
The Extra Credit boxes should be unchecked. 3
3 If you want to give extra credit for an item or category, please ask me about how to do it.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 32
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
F. The Grader Report
To see the gradebook in which you enter grades, select View, Grader report from
the “Choose an action” menu.
We have set the gradebook up with four sections: one for each of the categories and one for the
entire course.
Each category of grades includes a Category Total:
Don’t enter anything in the category total
boxes. Moodle will automatically calculate the
category total as a percent. For example,
suppose two exam grades of 80 and 150 have
been entered. The maximum grades on the two
exams are 100 and 200, respectively. The
maximum possible is 300 pts. The grade then is
230/300 = 76.67%
A grade item in the gradebook is not counted if nothing has been entered. If you enter a zero for
a grade item, then it will be counted.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 33
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
H. Entering Grades
To enter grades in the gradebook, click on Turn editing on in the upper right corner
of the Grader Report.
Enter the grades in the boxes that appear.
When you move the cursor over one of the boxes, the name of the student will
appear.
When you have entered a set of grades, click on the Update button at the bottom of the grader
report page.
I. Setting Your Grade Scale
The default grade scale in Moodle is the following:
A: 93% A-: 90% B+: 87% B: 83% B-: 80% and so forth
If you use a different grade scale for
a course, you can change the grade
scale used by Moodle for the course.
Select Edit, Letters, Edit to edit the
grade letters.
Check Override site defaults.
Enter your grade scale and then
Save changes.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 34
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
J. Displaying both Percentage and Letter Grade in Gradebook
It is helpful to display not only the percentage in the course grade, but also the
corresponding letter grade.
To set up your grade\book with this type of display, go into the gradebook and
turn editing on.
When editing has been turned on in the gradebook,
you will see an Edit icon under the name of the
course.
Click on this edit icon.
Change the
Grade display type to
Percentage (letter)
or
Letter (percentage).
Note: If you see a
much simpler display
than the one above,
click on Show
advanced.
Save changes.
Turn editing off.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 35
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Using Moodle to Record Attendance
A. Setting Up Attendance
To set Moodle up so that you can record attendance, click on Add an
activity or resource and then Attendance.
If you give an attendance grade in your class, then
select the number of points it counts in the Grade
section. Otherwise select No grade.
If you select “No grade” then attendance will not
show up in the gradebook. If you select a point
value then it will.4
Save and return to the course. You now will see
“Attendance” included in the list of links in the weekly
outline.
Click on the Attendance link.
You will see a screen that looks
something like the picture on the right.
You need to tell Moodle when your
classes are. To do this, click on the
Add tab.
4 It is possible to include attendance in your gradebook without giving a point value. In this case you will be able to
see a record of attendance in the gradebook, but it will not count toward the total grade. If you want to do this,
please see me and I will tell you how.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 36
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Do the following in the “Add session” screen:
1. Check Create multiple sessions
2. Enter the start and end dates of your course.
3. Enter the duration of your class, which would be one hr for MWF classes
4. Check the days on which your class meets (in this example, MWF).
5. Click on Add sessions.
You be told that the sessions have been automatically generated and then you will return to the
“Add session” screen.
Next, click on the Settings tab.
This screen allows you delete attendance
variables that you do not use. For example, I
do not keep track of whether students are late,
so I will delete the “Late: category.
You also can set point values for the various
categories if you like.
Click on Update when you are ready.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 37
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
B. Recording Attendance
When you are ready to record attendance during or after class,
click on the Attendance link on the course page.
You will see a list of days
looking something like the
picture on the right.
In this example, Moodle is
set up to display class days
for a particular Week.
You can change the
display to All, All Past,
etc,
To record attendance for a particular day, click on the green circle for that day. You then can
record people using the grading categories you have chosen.
Note: An easy way to record attendance is to click
on the “P” link, which will record all students in
the class as present. Then you can change the few
who are absent, late, or excused.
Moodle 2 – Getting Started Page 38
28-Aug-13 Wofford College
Appendix: Grading Aggregation
I have had several questions about the difference between Simple weighted mean of grades and
Weighted mean of grades. Here is a brief, if somewhat mathematical explanation of what they
mean.
A. Simplest Weight Mean of Grades
You almost always want to use simplest weighted mean of grades when you are averaging
Grade Items.
Simplest weighted mean of grades uses the point values of the grade items as weights. This
amounts to computing the percent for the category as a simple percentage.
For example, suppose you are
giving two exams, one of which
counts 100 points and the other 200
points. You have the exam
category set up to use simplest
weighted mean to calculate the
average for this category.
Suppose that a student receives the following grades on the two exams
Exam 1: 80/100
Exam 2: 180/200
Moodle calculates the student’s percent for this category as follows.
% = 260/300 = 86.67%

B. Weighted Mean of Grades
You need to use weighted mean of grades when you are averaging categories in the
gradebook.
The gradebook in these instructions
is set up to use the “Weighted Mean
of Grades” aggregation type to
calculate the course grades.
Here is an example in which we use the point totals for each category as weights.
Item Student’s Grade Maximum Category Weight
Assignment #1 30 50
Assignment #2 40 50 150
Assignment #3 50 50
Discussion #1 20 25 50
Discussion #2 22 25
Exam #1 80 100 300
Exam #2 180 200

The percentages for each category are as shown below
Assignments: 120/150 = 80.00%
Discussions: 42/50 = 84.00%
Exams: 260/300 = 86.67%
The course grade is a weighted average of the category totals, expressed as percentages
