Section outline

  • This module area presents an example of the most common components that you'll find in a standard QMplus module area. If you have "teacher" or "course administrator" access to your area on QMplus, you have complete control over what goes into it and how it looks. Your School or Department may have specific guidelines about what you are expected to put where. You may have an administrator who does things for you, or you may be expected to do everything yourself...or somewhere in between!

    Here we're going to cover the basics of editing a QMplus module area.  You are going to use your test area to have a go at some basic editing tasks.
    • Adding a module image and welcome message Page

      You can configure the top of your module area to display a module image and various types of information.  This helps to signal to students where they are.

    • Getting ready to edit your module area Page

      In order to make changes to your module area, you need to enter editing mode by turning editing on.

    • Adding topics Page

      Topics are where you put your content.  How many you have, what you call them and what's in them is up to you.  Here we explore how to add topic sections to your module area. 

    • Adding content and getting to know the text editor Page

      There are lots of different types of content you can add to your module area.  We're not going to cover it all!  The basics of adding things are very similar so here we'll look at how to add some basic content and introduce you to the QMplus text editor, a powerful tool you'll find all over QMplus!

    • Displaying your module information Page

      The module information block can show lots of useful information about your module.  Some of it is taken directly from the student record system but you can also configure the block in several ways.
