Introduction

This task describes how to create a link to a Lecturecast section in a Moodle course.


Note:

  • once the activity link is established, it is important for other course tutors or administrators who require instructor rights for the section to click on this new activity link.  This first click-through registers them as a Lecturecast section instructor for that section.

1. Turn editing on

Students and other users with access to the specific Moodle course can now use the link created to access the relevant Lecturecast section and content.

  • When an event has been recorded or published, you should check to make sure that it is available to students.
  • Repeat the process to link additional Lecturecast sections to your Moodle course.
