[edit] Learning project

This learning project allows participants to explore how to use Moodle. Feel free to make use of the Wikiversity Moodle server for hands-on learning. You can also use http://demo.moodle.org for access to a demostration install of the latest Moodle software which gives you access to admin, teacher, and student roles.

This learning project could also explore ways to increase constructive interactions between the Wikimedia community and the Moodle community.

[edit] Access levels

The Moodle software allows for several access levels:

Administrator	Administrators can usually do anything on the site, in all courses. Also, administrators can view the IP addresses of participants at the Wikiversity Moodle server. See Privacy issues.
Course creator	Course creators can create new courses and teach in them. If you want the ability to create a course at Wikiversity Moodle site, contact JWSchmidt or Erkan Yilmaz. Course creators have access to the menu shown in the image, right. Course creators can assign other participants the ability to edit the course by setting accounts to function as teachers.
Teacher	Teachers can do anything within a course, including changing the activities and grading students.
Non-editing teacher	Non-editing teachers can teach in courses and grade students, but may not alter activities.
Student	Students generally have less privileges within a course.
Guest	Guests have minimal privileges and usually can not enter text anywhere.
Authenticated user	All logged in users.

Course administration menu.

[edit] Administration block

Course administrators can control many aspects of their site via the Administration block.

[edit] Sandbox server

If you are new to Moodle or if you want to learn how to create and manage a course using Moodle, you are invited to use the Wikiversity Moodle server which runs on the Wikiversity sandbox server. See more information about Wikiversity's sandbox server Moodle installation.

Help develop the Introduction to Wikiversity Moodle course.

[edit] New to Wikiversity?

Wikiversity is powered by MediaWiki software. Wikiversity can be thought of as an unconventional learning management system. In contrast to Moodle courses, learning resources at Wikiversity are by default open to collaborative development by all Wikiversity participants. If you have previous experience with Moodle but would like to learn about Wikiversity, see Introduction to Wikiversity.

[edit] Activities

On this page, separate the Wikiversity Moodle Sandbox content from the generic Moodle content.
Help convert Introduction to Wikiversity into a Moodle course at the Wikiversity Moodle server.
