Resources in Moodle

A resource is an item that a teacher can use to support learning, such as a file or link. Moodle supports a range of resource types which teachers can add to their courses. In edit mode, a teacher can add resources via the 'Add an activity or resource' link. Resources appear as a single link with an icon in front of it that represents the type of resource.

It was found that man only absorbs and remembers about 10% of what he has read 20% of what he has heard and even 50% of what he has heard and seen. Therefore, it is useful to change the presentation methods of the training material. In Moodle there is the possibility to upload audio and video material, and read material in one place together. Submitting material in different ways increases the likelihood of its absorption.

By adding the resources available in the Moodle you can create content directly within Moodle  link to content you‘ve uploaded.
