Resource templates
• Support• Static
Resource Tools• Moodle supports a range of different resource
types that allow you to include almost any kind of digital content into your courses. You can create your own text and webpages.
• Of course the resource may already exist in electronic form (word, PDF, etc.) so you may want to link to an uploaded file or external website or simply display the complete contents of a directory in your course files and let your users pick the file themselves.
Resource Repositories
3rd Party Repositories integration
Search, contribute, tag and import content into courses from file managed Repository.
What content do you have?What digital content do you have now? What might you need to develop?Do you have capacity in-house short term or need to outsource?

How could you use the communication tools?
Content ToolsContent can be generated quickly using purpose built “rapid elearning software” such as:•Articulate Storyline•Captivate•Camtasia•iSpring Presenter
SCORM
The SCORM standard makes sure that all e-learning content and LMSs can work with each other:
Tin Can
http://tincanapi.com/overview/
Assessment• Work can be submitted by students and
marked by teachers using Assignments or Workshops. Automatic marking can be achieved by using Quizzes. You can integrate quizzes from third party software.
• Content may be delivered and supported using Lesson module and SCORM activities. Key words can be added to Glossaries by yourself or, if you allow it, your students. You can add content from third party software
• Surveys and Databases are also very powerful additions to any course.
Assessment• Grades can be created in each activity in a
course which are then added to the Gradebook. For example, grades in Assignment (all types), Quiz and Workshop activities are automatically added to Gradebook. In some activities you will have to turn grading on, such as ratings 'on' in Forum, Glossary and Database to send them to the Gradebook.
• Students can do self and peer assessment type tasks by evaluating (and even rate) each other's Forum posts, Glossary entries, and Database entries.
