Go to the course page and switch to Edit Mode - top right hand corner next to your profile icon.

If you cannot see this option, you will need to request editing permissions from your Departmental Administrator or another member of the administrative team.

Once you turn editing on, you will notice extra icons and an Edit menu appearing on different parts of the screen. You will also notice the option to Add an activity or resource for every course section.

In the section where you would like your activity or resource to be displayed, click Add an activity or resource at the end of the section, or hover in-between activities and click on the + icon. More detailed guides on how to add different types of activities and resources can be found on the front page of the ‘Moodle How-Tos’ guides.

  • To change the appearance or behaviour of the resource or activity, select Edit settings.
