Okay, after a week of skirting Moodle, and\u00a0occasionally\u00a0dipping my toes into this LMS, I decided to take the full plunge: \u00a0I decided to fill in some of the place holders that I’d already created. \u00a0I decided to learn HTML and practice it by writing my course syllabus. \u00a0What a labor-intensive job! \u00a0I learned the code as I went along, looking up code as I needed. \u00a0That’s the most effective way for me to learn.<\/p>\n
I spent a lot of time experimenting with different tags to see what the effect would be like. \u00a0For instance there were places where I wanted to have block text. \u00a0I found that I could create a CSS code for paragraphs that would take care of the issue. \u00a0Pretty nifty.<\/p>\n
One of the things that I learned tonight (or this morning, as it is 2:00am on Friday morning where I am), is that you don’t want to have too much text on one page so that the user must scroll forever to find information. \u00a0With that in mind, I shall divide my syllabus: \u00a0on the page that says “syllabus” \u00a0I’ll have information about the course, required texts, requirements, grading information, and steps on how to succeed. \u00a0On the page that says “course schedule” \u00a0I’ll show the week-by-week break down of the class.<\/p>\n
Now it’s time for a coffee break then back to further exploring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
