• How to Update All of the Dates for All Activities at Once

• How to Turn Off the Auto-Linking Feature within a Moodle Course

Click on the links below to access the corresponding set of instructions.

• How to Update Topic Tab Labels
  By default, each new Moodle course shell is created in Onetopic format with eight tabs with the labels, Topic 1, Topic 2, etc. You can change the text on the label to be whatever you would like it to be. Some faculty use Week 1, Week 2, while others add text such as Weekly Calendar, Forums, Quizzes, Readings, etc.  Following the instructions in the link above, you will be able to update your topic tab labels.
• How to Move Content from One Tab to Another
  Moodle does not allow you to drag and drop content from one tab to another; however, you can move content from one tab to another by updating a setting in your course. Follow the instructions at the link above to update the setting and pick-up and drop content between tabs.
• How to Move an Entire Tab from One Position to Another
  What if you want to move your entire tabs to a different position in the course? Click on the link above for instructions on how to move your tabs from one position to another. 

MOODLE REPORTS
Every time a user clicks in Moodle, data is stored within the our account. The Moodle platform has a few nicely-packaged reports where instructors can see who clicked on which options (logs), who has completed which activities (activity completion reports), and there is even a report where instructors can print their course roster with user profile pictures.

For more information about the Moodle platform reports, please visit the
Moodle reports internal webpage page.

INTELLIBOARD REPORTS
Simpson College has also partnered with Intelliboard, an organization that creates user-friendly, aesthetic layouts of ALL of our Moodle data. From being able to view data about who has not been active in your course for a designated amount of time to diving into question details on which questions were the biggest stumbling blocks for students on a quiz, and even being able to see which operating systems and internet browsers the students are using in your classes, Intelliboard has us covered.

For more information about the Intelliboard reports, please visit the
Instructor Dashboard internal webpage page.
