  Moodle Sandbox (examples)

  This section contains examples in Moodle that you might want to use in your class.
  

  • Demo - File

    You can add a variety of files to moodle for students to use. These can be any file type. In this example I added a reading.
    

  • Demo - URL

    URL allows you to link to an outside resource. In this example, the link takes you to the Hampshire College webpage. You could link to resources to read, etc.
    

  • Demo - Feedback

    The Feedback activity can be used to  survey students about topics. It can be anonymous or you can record student names. This could be used as a weekly check in, at the end of a class (like a minute paper).

    I have set this poll up to be anonymous.
    

  • Demo - Assignment

    The Assignment activity can be used in a variety of ways. This can be used for homework assignments that you want students to submit. You can set the due date, open and close dates, etc.

    You may include links to assignment instructions (for example on a google doc), attach a pdf with instructions, or list the instructions in the description box.

    You have the option of having students upload files or complete the assignment online.

    For example, you could use this to solicit reading responses. A pdf could be attached with the reading, and the questions posted in the description. Students could then either submit their answers online directly in moodle, or upload a file with their answers.

    Mock Assignment - for this assignment I will ask you to list any questions you have about the assignment activity in Moodle. Please submit your answers online.
