  This course contains useful information and guidance for getting started with moodle.

  The first thing to do is to watch the 'What is moodle' video (below). This was not created in-house, but provides a good explanation of the building blocks of moodle, some of which we are going to explore in more detail. Some information (very little and mainly at the end) about hosting is not relevant. 

  Your next step should be to consult the materials in the Getting Started section (below).
