To add an activity to a Moodle course:
1

Navigate to your Moodle course and turn Edit mode on by clicking the button at the top of the course page.

2

Hover your mouse pointer over the area of the course where you would  like to insert the activity and click the + Plus symbol, (OR go to the bottom of the section and click the 'Add an activity or resource link').  Click the required activity name to add it to the course. 

3You will then be taken to the settings page for that activity.  Once you have selected the appropriate settings, click the 'Save and display' button, and you will be taken in to the activity. For some activities you will have further configuration options here.
4Once you have finished reviewing and/or editing the activity you can return to the Moodle course homepage using the breadcrumbs at the top of the page. Just click on the name of the course (usually the module code).
5

If you would like to move the activity you can drag and drop the activity to the required position on the course page, by clicking and holding the cross hair icon to the left of the activity name. Release the icon when the activity is in the correct location. If you cannot locate the cross hair icon, please make sure the Turn edit mode is set to on.

6

If you have a number of related activities and/or resources, you might like to add a Text and media area (formerly known as a Label) containing a heading. You should use the large heading in Atto editor, or heading 3 if using TinyMCE to ensure the correct heading structure on the page.

7

You can access the activity's configuration settings by clicking the Settings menu at the top of the activity.  (Alternatively, from the course main page you can select the ellipsis to the right of the activity and click Edit settings).

8

Other Edit options include:

  • move right indents the item one place to the right.  Once you move right, you will then see an option to move left, so you can un-indent it.
  • hide / show will enable the activity to either show or hide the activity from students view.
  • duplicate creates a copy whichmight save you some editing time for similar activities.
  • promote a student to act as a tutor on a particular activity by assigning them to the tutor role with the Assign roles option. This means they would have tutor rights just for that activity and nothing else on the page.
  • delete will ask you if you really want to delete the activity. Click Yes to delete.

You can turn E dit mode off when you have finished editing the course.
