This page shows you how you might choose to implement the expectations from the Moodle Baseline and Baseline+ in your own course.
Structure
Present activities and resources in a meaningful, clearly structured and sequenced way - e.g. chronologically or by theme. Typically each Moodle section represents a topic, which may cover one or more weeks of study.
Use headings - Use Section Headings for each topic area and use heading styles within labels, books and pages to maintain consistency across sections and so students can quickly identify where they are.
Provide section overviews - Provide a description in each section to introduce the topic or set of resources / activities.
Clearly group and label items within a section – Bring together common elements, use labels to provide common sub-headings across sections to help students navigate.
Use Groups and Groupings to give different views and information to specific groups of students, where needed.
Minimise cognitive load - Avoid overloading the front page by placing content off the main page in Pages, Books, Folders,Lessons and hiding unused items. If your front page is still long consider using Tabs format, or the Course Menu block to aid navigation.
Include blocks to aid navigation- Suggested blocks include Activities, Latest News, Recent Activity, Library Resources, Library Search, Course Menu and People.
