Moodle Quick Tips

Overview: Useful hints to get you up and running fast.
  1. Ensure your “Forum tracking” is on in your profile (go to Settings > Edit profile > Forum Tracking: “Yes, highlight new posts for me”). This enables you to be notified in your Moodle course when you have unread posts.
  2. You may also select Forums from the Activities block to view unread posts in all of the forums.
  3.  You may want to dock the Navigation and Setting blocks by clicking the Move this to the dock icon.  Docking creates a tab on the left  margin of your course and no longer shows the block in the content area. To undock the block , or get it back into the content area, select the tab and click on the Undock this item icon.
  4. The top section (or topic 0) remains on the screen at all times.
  5. Don’t like the size of the font on your page? Press Ctrl and + (the plus sign) to make the font bigger. Press Ctrl and – (the minus sign) to make the font smaller.
  6. Having trouble copying and pasting in Moodle? Use the keyboard shortcuts,  Ctrl X to cut, Ctrl C to copy and Ctrl V to paste.
