Activity completion is a good scaffold for students. They can keep track of the individual parts of an assignment. You can see a different view of all assignments. Assignments can be marked complete by students or by you.
The Brickfield Accessibility Starter Toolkit will help you identify the parts of your Moodle Course that are accessible as is, the parts that need some work, and the parts that are not yet accessible. This includes files, links, text, images, etc. The old scanner only looked at .pdf files. This does much more!
Are students complaining they can't see your Moodle course? Woops- let's make it visible.
Moodle Tip: To get a sense of the ways different course formats can be used to achieve organizational goals, check out the Topics and Categories page of our Moodle Course Gallery.
Moodle Tip: You can use these options to adjust the content you've added, or hide it from students if you don't want them to see it yet.

Moodle Tip: You can make your Moodle course easier to navigate by putting content one-click-away on a Page. This entire guide is made up of pages!
Examples on how assignments can be integrated (or not) throughout the semester can be found on the Assignments and Submissions page of our Moodle Course Gallery.
Moodle Tip: Grading scales in Moodle don't need to mean actual "grades". Use these instructions to take advantage of the grading system to know who's missing what!
For inspiration on using forums, feel free to check out the Forums and Discussion page on our Moodle Course Gallery, where we've collected examples of how others have used the feature.
The database activity is actually very flexible. It can be used to create a shared gallery, a study guide, or even a journal.

Lightbox Gallery- You can use this module to create an image gallery. Great for displaying images of ideas generated together on the board in class.
