Glossary
This activity allows participants to create and maintain a list of definitions, like a dictionary.
The entries can be searched or browsed in many different formats.
The glossary also allows teachers to export entries from one glossary to another (the main one) within the same course.
Finally, it is possible to automatically create links to these entries from throughout the course.
Learning diary
Learning Diary is an activity module implementing personal or guided learning.
There are two different types of learning diaries:
- User diary - free form learning diary where student takes control of his/her own learning process.
- Guided diary - guided learning diary is teacher driven diary. Teacher must provide chapters that students can fill in. Teachers also can comment students diary entries.

Adding a New Project Module
Purpose: This module is based on the philosophy that students learn best when driven not by a content syllabus, but by self-selected, purposeful projects. A project usually involves research into a topic. The research can be presented in a file format or as a face-to-face presentation. Files can include both text and images, and can be uploaded as websites, essay documents, powerpoint slides and other formats.
It is intended that group and peer work be integrated into the learning design. Groups can be formed, by the teacher or by the students themselves, Students can do assessments of their classmates and these ratings averaged for consideration.
Tasks: There are five different tasks that can be chosen for a learning sequence. Some of these tasks must be built in strict order. Others can be repeated and arranged flexibly. A typical project will include the following modules in this sequence:
- Brainstorm (to collect a list of topics)
- Signup (to select a topic as an individual or as a group)
- Submit (to hand in a file for assessment)
- Schedule (of a face-to-face appointment, usually for a presentation)
- Assessment (of either a submitted file or a scheduled presentation)
Note that after a Signup task with group work has been created, it appears as two tasks.
Options include:
- just a brainstorm and signup for a face-to-face task;
- multiple submit modules to handle multiple drafts of an essay or other file; Required modules are only that a Brainstorm task and a Signup task be created.
Authoring: This module is actually five modules built into one authoring package. Thus there are many screens for both creating (authoring) and viewing the tasks. As a teacher, you can switch between student view and teacher view of each task. You will need to design each task separately, so at first it may seem like a long sequence of separate screens. However, after a full project is built it will be relatively easy to modify a new one based on a past version. The easiest way to learn how to build a project is to upload a course full of sample projects into your moodle site and try one. You can copy one you like into your course and modify the dates, instructions, and criteria.
Version Note: This is version 1.0 of the project module. Some functions were planned but are not yet implemented at this time. You may see these future features crossed out or shadowed as you use the module. This was built as an engineering project of Sreedhar, Rohin, Tushar, Andrew and YJ of the University of Melbourne. This team has contributed this code for the benefit of open-source learning. We hope for further development of features such as: gradebook integration, activity report integration, special blocks with project links and "Best 10" ratings, extended assessments, public/private archives and other ideas submitted by the Moodle community. Please visit http://moodle.org in the developers forums to contribute your ideas. Those who can donate programming time are especially invited. Please contact Don Hinkelman at hinkel at sgu.ac.jp to get involved in these efforts.

webclass
This file contains the main description of the webclass module. Usually, it's used to explain the main features of the activity, with a natural language. Also, the overall process of the activity is detailed here with its pedagogical foundation.
From a developer perspective, this "help" directory will contain simple html files like this that you will be able to link from webclass code when any sort of explanation is necessary (it's easier to add those links automatically, both from the formslib stuff (see mod_form.php) and from everywhere else (see the helpbutton() function).
Also, don't forget to add one link to this help file from the webclass/help "index.html" file, it will allow Moodle to show all the existing help files related to the module when the complete list of available help files is requested.
Please, replace me with the real information about the webclass!
Wikis
A Wiki enables documents to be authored collectively in a simple markup language using a web browser.
"Wiki wiki" means "super fast" in the Hawaiian language, and it is the speed of creating and updating pages that is one of the defining aspects of wiki technology. Generally, there is no prior review before modifications are accepted, and most wikis are open to the general public or at least to all persons who also have access to the wiki server.
The Moodle Wiki module enables participants to work together on web pages to add, expand and change the content. Old versions are never deleted and can be restored.
This module is based on Erfurt Wiki.
