Moodle: Using Moodle Books

Moodle Books are generally used for course handbooks, but they can also be a tool to format lengthy information into manageable sections and provide a table of contents. Uses could include: instruction manuals; training information; schedules; overviews of key theories, concepts, or historical eras. This session will demonstrate how to create, edit, backup, and print Moodle Books so that they can be used as a learning and teaching resource.
