Adding+A+Resource

=Adding A Resource=

Resources are the basic components of your online course. They are the materials, reference guides, informational/ news documents, and web links which allow the user or student to explore and research for better understanding of the course activities and materials that will be created or submitted. Once the resources are added to your Moodle site, you can then work on the activities that will help extend and go along with the resources shared with your participants.

The choices for adding a resource to your course are:
 * 1) **Insert a label**--Labels can be used to organize your material within sections of your course.
 * 2) **Compose a text page**--a page that is great for using plain text. Great page for coding.
 * 3) **Compose a web page**--a page that offers you more options than plain text. If you are pasting a document with multiple formatting styles, it will retain formatting better than the text page or plain text will.
 * 4) **Link to a file or web site**--allows you to show content from the Internet or link to a file that you have uploaded to your site.
 * 5) **Display a directory**--gives you the option of displaying multiple files for your users. Can upload multiple files and create a new folder to better organize them.
 * 6) **Add an IMS Content Package**--store material in basic format to input into a different system.
