Resource Types

Description

1

Text Page

This is a simple page written using plain text. A number of formatting types are available to help turn plain text into attractive web pages.

2

HTML Page

It is easy to develop a complete single web page within Moodle, especially when users are using Moodle's WYSIWYG HTML editor.

3

Files and Web Pages

These allow users to link any web page or other file on the public Internet as well as any web page or other file that users have uploaded into the course files area from their own desktop computer.

4

Directory

This can display a whole directory (and its subdirectories) from the course files area. Students can then browse and view all of those files.
