Moodle tips

To check whether you have indeed completed the assessments, go to the activity page and scroll down to view the submissions assigned to you. If you see the phrase 'Already graded' under a submission, it means you have assessed that submission. You can click on the 'Re-assess' button in case you'd like to change anything in your assessment.

After you take this quiz, please click inside the solid box next to the title of the quiz above so that you see a check mark. You must do this to receive credit for this quiz activity.

1. Go to the login page: https://learn.inasp.info/login/index.php
2. Click on the link titled 'Forgotten your username or password?'
3. Under 'Search by email address', put in the email address you used when you created your user account, and click 'Search'. Alternatively, if you remember your username, put that under 'Search by username', and click the 'Search link' next to this box.
   

You will then receive an email with instructions to reset your password.

If you have written blog entries as part of a course, you may want to keep a record of all your entries to read them later on (for example, when you wish to remind yourself of what you learnt in the course). You can look at your own blog entries by going to your profile and clicking Blog entries (under the Miscellaneous heading). Then use the save or print feature in your web browser to save a copy of the page that you see. This page shows a maximum of 10 entries. If you have written more than 10 entries, you will see links to access the other pages with your entries and you can save/print all the pages one by one.

1. To include an image along with your text entry for an activity, you should first resize your image so that it is smaller than 800 pixels in width or 400 KB in file size. You can use an image manipulation tool such as the free Microsoft Photos app for Windows to resize your image.
2. Once you have resized your image, open the submission space on this site (learn@inasp). The submission space is where you submit your work for an activity, as mentioned in the activity instructions.
   
3. Click the Insert or Edit Image button on the editor toolbar.

   
   

4. In the pop-up windows that opens, click Browse Repositories -> Upload a File -> Browse. 
5. Select the image file from your computer or mobile device.

• Read the posts made in the announcements forum.

• If your question is about an activity, read the instructions given for the activity.

• See the calendar block on the course homepage to note important deadlines. We do not offer deadline extensions, as explained in the learning agreement (you can find this in the course induction section).

• If you'd like to leave the course, see this: Unenrolling from the course
  

If your doubt or query persists after you've done the above, please make a post on the technical queries forum.

If you use the Moodle Mobile app on your mobile device to access a course, you may see a percentage completion figure under your course on the app homepage (after you've logged in). This figure may be inaccurate in some cases -- this is a shortcoming of the Moodle app and not something we at INASP can control. Please do not use this figure to determine your progress in the course. You may as well ignore it. What is important is to check the completion criteria for the course and any other information given in the course on how to track your progress.

1. Submission phase: This is the phase in which you have to prepare and submit your work.

2. Assessment phase: The system will randomly allocate some of your course colleagues' submissions to you, and you have to evaluate these using an assessment form.

3. Closure: Once the above two phases are completed, the course moderator will close the activity. You can then view the assessments you have received from your course colleagues.
