Make sure you have the Navigation block installed on your course.

To install new blocks, turn editing on for your course and select “Navigation” from the list of items. Move this block up at the top, for easy viewing for students.

Cannot locate Navigation block, but have it installed?

Tip: You may have your block undocked, which will appear as a tab on the left of your site. Remember, with Moodle 2.0, you can undock any of the blocks.

Either select “Participants” from your People block OR

OR “Enrolled users” from the Course Administration block

Click the link to navigate to the user’s profile

Expand “Forum posts” in the Navigation block under the user’s name

Select “Posts” or “Discussions” to view individual user’s contributions

You will then be able to view all posts or discussions posted by that user.

Note you can also view posts in context , too.

Simply navigate to our Moodle site on your phone’s Internet browser (http://edtech.mrooms.org) and login.

As you can see, after logging in you can post to our News Forum from your mobile device.

Enter your username and password and click the Login button at the bottom of your screen.

To access your course, click the Blocks button at the upper-left of your screen.

Then, select Course categories.

Select the semester and your course from the list.

You will then be directed to your course home page. Take a look around and notice how much you can do on your mobile device, such as participating in forums, accessing resources, and even submitting assignments. If your instructor has enabled course completion, you can view your progress.

You will want to create a bookmark so you can easily navigate to your courses in Moodle on your mobile device. In this example, I will add EDTECH 501 to my home screen.

Click the little arrow at the bottom of your screen to add this course to your home screen.

Edit the icon to your course name and you will then have it available to click on your home screen.

Enter your scale in ascending order. In this example, the scale is designed to create a maximum of 20 points in each category on the rubric.

Click “Save changes” when you are done.

1. Name your rubric
2. Click the dropdown arrow and select your scale
3. Click “Update Marking Method”

1. Add criteria and guidelines/cateogy information to each cell.
2. Select the number of points you want for each category.

To add more guidelines or criteria, simply click the green arrow. To delete any cell, row, or column, select the red X.

When you have completed your rubric, hit “Save Rubric.”
In this example, a student could get a maximum total of 40 points.
Now, let’s add this rubric to an assignment!

Click “Grade” as you normally would do when grading a student assignment.

You will be directed to a new page, where you can select one of the guidelines from each criteria to rate. You can enter comments for each criteria as well as overall feedback below the rubric. When the student views his/her score, (s)he will see the rubric and your comments. It makes it super-easy for students to see how they were assessed on an assignment!

For more information on how to create scales (which I admit is kind of tricky) visit the moodle.org page http://docs.moodle.org/21/en/Scales

First, you need to create your rubric. Click the Rubrics icon under your course administration.

You will need to name your rubric and then fill in the criteria and guidelines. You can add or delete criteria by clicking the green plus or red X buttons. Remember, each guideline will add up to the total of your assignment points. If you do not need one of the guideline cells, you will need to delete it before you can save your rubric.

Also, the rubric cannot add up to more than 100 points.

In order to save this rubric, you need to delete any cells that have no information in them. So, I would click the red X to delete the cell and then click “Save Rubric.”

You should see a “Rubric saved” at the top of your rubric.

To see what your rubric will look like for students, click “Manage Course Rubrics.”

Edit an exisitng assignment or create a new assignment.

Add your rubric to this assignment.

Make sure the number of points for the assignment matches the rubric!

Click “Grade” like you usually do to grade an assignment.

You will check the guidelines the student included in their assignment. You can post comments on each criteria, as well as a comment on the work overall. This information is then available to the student in their gradebook.

Moodle automatically adds the items and places it in the gradebook after you click “Save Score and Feedback.”

Nice, huh?
