Non-MIIS Moodle Resources

The Non-MIIS Moodle Resources page contains links to additional online Moodle resources. The Moodle e-Learning Community Wiki is designed to contain information specific to the Monterey Institute community. However, many other organizations have far more extensive additional resources for learning about and using Moodle. Check out (and contribute to) the Non-MIIS Moodle Resources page to broaden your horizons!

Books

Using Moodle

One of the many moodle.org online community members has written a 2nd edition of "Using Moodle." It contains detailed chapters on a variety of moodle features, and can be accessed in a number of ways:

• browse online (similar to the Amazon "look inside" feature, but easier to use; Flash required)
• download PDFs of individual chapters (or a ~ 4 MB zip file of all chapters)
• buy it from Amazon if you'd like your own personal copy to highlight and dog-ear

Two Minute Moodle Tutorials

This is a collection of 2 Minute Moodles - an attempt to simplify and show how to use a range of Moodle features. The tutorials try not to assume too much previous knowledge and are presented for the pragmatical and not necessarily tech-savy users (Moodle purists please excuse). They are a bit like that product I got the pun from - something quick and simple to get you going.

Carleton College Tutorials

The Academic Technologies group at Carleton College (a small, liberal arts college in Minnesota) has put together a collection of web-based guides and tutorials for faculty. Many of the pages also have a PDF version - check the top right-hand corner of the web pages.

University of Minnesota - Moodle support portal

This is an example support page for a very large-scale implementation of Moodle. Items such as "how to log in" won't be relevant for users outside of the University of Minnesota, but MIIS users may find other more general resources on these pages to be helpful.

Humboldt State Faculty Guide to Moodle

Until recently this Moodle-hosted guide for faculty was easily accessible; now it's still available to the public, but takes some extra navigation. After accessing the link above, click log in as guest (left side of page, below username and password fields), and then to navigate from there to the HSU Faculty Guide to Moodle course (see list on left side of page). It's frustrating not the be able to bookmark and go to the course directly, but worth the trouble to take a look at their materials.
