Tutorial Tuesday

On Monday, we launched the new Moodle Recap feature to highlight the week in Moodle and other e-Learning news. To continue on this effort to deliver new blog series, we're launching "Tutorial Tuesday," a feature that will provide consistent weekly tutorials that highlight a particular aspect of joule-specific administration, instruction or learning.

Today, we're highlighting how obtain resources from joule's digital repository and post them into a course.

Turn on editing mode.

Click here to learn how.

Scroll to the course topic where you want to add the resource.

Click the "Add an activity" drop down menu and select "EQUELLA Resource".

Search or browse for the resource item that you want to add to the course.

1) Quick search for the item using keywords (then press the "Search" button).
2) Or choose from items that you have recently selected.
3) Or choose from items that you have saved in your "favorites" area.

If searching for an item (1), review the results of the keyword query.

Next, choose one of the results by clicking on its title.

The item's details are visible from this screen.
1) The item resides at the National Photo Company Collection at the Library of Congress.
2) The item is marked as circa 1920.
3) The URL link goes directly to the photograph.

To Select the item to be added to the course, click the "Select item" button. This particular item links to this "landing page" with a link to the photograph.

In some cases, a "Select item" button will accompany one or more photographs or other media or file type. This will add the file or link directly to the course link without a "landing page."

Once you have "Selected" the item, it will be added as a link to your course.

Note the addition of the link to your course activities.

You may edit, delete, and move this activity like all other activities within the course.
