Advanced Moodle Gradebook Features: Using Rubrics, Marking Guides, & Checklists"
The video below is about a 75 minute demonstration of advanced grading features as you would see them on a Moodle 2.6 site. The video trainer, Eric Brandt, highlights rubrics, checklists, and other advanced grading criteria that can be used in Moodle courses to assess students using Moodle’s standard activities.

The College of Asia and the Pacific at ANU is known for it’s creative approach to the support and professional development of academics using Moodle. However like many other units supporting academics we are faced with the sad reality that, although some sites are designed in a clear and organized way, others clearly show that “scroll of death” is alive and kicking, especially among the “low tech” segment of our teaching staff. It is the old problem: easy to preach to the converted, but not so easy to change the way people do things - simply because it all seems way too hard. Students clearly tell us what is needed to improve the design and ultimately the usability of courses, but getting the message across sometimes is not straightforward. This is particularly the case when, like many teaching institutions, staff are appointed at the last minute and technology training competes with all other aspects of academic life. The other problem facing us now is that the new version of Moodle allows drag and drop even in the main page, so dragging everything in a mad scramble filling topics to the brim is far too easy, and the revenge of the scroll of death is upon us! So SMART (Sustainable Models for Adaptive and Responsive Teaching) was born . The idea is simple, instead of giving lecturers an empty Moodle site, give them a template with a choice of 3 ways to organize their site with an inbuilt “how to” guide and links to fully developed sample sites. This presentation will explain how the idea started, how it is implemented and the results so far."
Adding a new user is quite simple with Moodle LMS, but problems crop up when you have to add thousands or hundreds of users. We cannot keep on adding users one by one, it might take some months to upload thousands of users. Don’t worry; there is a simple and an easy way to upload thousands of users into the LMS. Let us see how to do that.
As LMS administrators, we can add a user but when it comes to adding a large number of users, we have an option in Moodle to upload bulk users.
First, we need to make a list of users to be uploaded into the LMS, and that sheet should be saved in the delimiter comma format i.e. csv format because Moodle accepts only .csv format files for uploading users.
Only the admin has the access to add or upload user/users. Login as admin, select Site administration->Users->accounts-> upload users.
You deployed the most capable LMS platform (*cough* eFront *cough*). You have written the finest course material, crafted the best exercises, and organized them to perfection. You are finally ready to take your live, but could there be anything missing? … Continue reading →

Many people are interested in this question type and it is slightly because of the imminent PARCC tests. Students can answer questions in different ways and drag and drop is one of the methods. There are different ways that one can use the drag and drop option in Moodle, which include:

I often will search for Moodle related content on sites like Google, Youtube and Slideshare to see if my RSS feeds missed anything. If you’re looking for some Moodle-related content (but not a specific resource or tutorial) it’s a good way to find new material you might not otherwise have been exposed to.
Slideshare.net is a great place to find slide decks from conferences, professional development trainings or faculty presentations. Quality ranges from in-depth step by step tutorials to general overviews of Moodle features or updates. It’s also rife with presentations in languages other than english. Better yet you can search by time frame (when they were uploaded, language, and file types). You can even search by whether or not the files are downloadable (which, depending on the CC license, might make for a good starting point if you’re presenting on a similar topic).
These 18 minutes of tutorial cover Moodle resource creation and editing, including labels, default settings in courses, pages, urls, files, and folders (and even the IMS package). The trainer is Angelo Agujo and this ...
So what is the choice activity in Moodle? It allow teachers to post a single question with multiple pre-determined responses in which student will select one answer from the list of choices. There may be no right answer as you can use this to:
1. get feedback on your course delivery 2. gauge the students understanding at the end of the lesson 3, make sure that students are on track 4. decide on what to do next with feedback from students 5, get students to vote on what they would like to do 6. engage and allow student participation 7. Introduce a before and after lesson questions using choice 8. as you can limit the number of people choosing a certain choice, you can use this to allow students to sign up to courses or activities with limited seats (first come first serve) 9. use a video or podcast with the choice activity 10. election tool, student union election, club election for different posts 11. selecting a team or group to join, again limiting the number of students can select the team, allows students to form their groups by choosing the team to join. 12. research tool, post your research question and get instant result
