What is it?
A resource is a non-interactive content item that supports learning, such as a file or link. See M01c1 - Moodle Resource list for information on what resources can be added to a Moodle course.
...
Decide the most appropriate type of resource for the content you would like to deliver (See M01d1 M01C1 - Moodle Resource list). You might like to experiment in a test course, so your students won't see this. If you need a test course for this purpose, please request one from Digital Education.
Meeting the Baseline
The UCL E-Connected Learning Baseline suggests suggests the following for Resources :
- 5.1 Use descriptive titles for all items and consider displaying the item's description on the course homepagemain page, as this helps students understand the purpose of the activity or resource.
- 5.2 Provide learning resources - Provide presentation slides, notes or handouts. See which file format to use and when. UCL policy is to provide lecture materials 48 hours in advance.
- 5.3 Provide reading list(s) – - Provide a list of course readings, preferably using the the UCL online reading list service, outlining which are compulsory and which are optional.
- 5.4 Check resources - Regularly fix or remove broken hyperlinks (URLs) and check that all resources are up-to-date before releasing these to students.
