Transcript of Moodle Guide for Crossroads Students
By Kevin G. Smith
MySats: Guide for Crossroads Students
Purpose
All the Crossroads courses are facilitated on the
MySats site. This purpose of this presentation is
to help you to navigate the course site easily,
and to understand the conditions for completing
a Crossroads course on MySats.
RESOURCES
Content Functions
FILES
You will see files that are can be
downloaded from the course
page. The icons will differ, based
on the type of file that it is. You
may see documents,
presentations, and other types of
files.
Page
This icon represents Moodle’s
PAGE function. It is essentially
just a webpage inside a course.
The webpage may consist only of
text, or it can include embedded
media such as Presentations,
Videos, Pictures, or Lectures.
Website
If you see this icon, it is a link to
an external website. The link
could be to a webpage, a
resource, or a video on YouTube.
We do not have many of these in
the Crossroads courses.
ACTIVITIES
Action Functions
Assignments
This icon represents a task or an
assignment that you need to
complete. These will be practical
tasks. You must follow the
instructions; when you have
completed the task, you simply
tick the grey box beside the
assignment.
Assignments
At the bottom left are the check
boxes to indicate when you have
completed an assignment. By
default, it looks like the top
(empty) box. When you complete
an assignment, you manually
click on the box. This marks the
activity as complete by inserting
a tick mark in the box.
Incomplete
Complete
Forums
Activities that have this icon
require you to post your
experiences or reflections to a
forum. All the students in your
group will post their responses,
so the responses are “public.”
You are welcome to respond to
other students posts, and we
encourage you to do so.
Forums
Incomplete
Complete
To complete a forum, you must
post your response. The moment
you post your response, MySats
will automatically tick the activity
as complete.
Note: When the square has a
broken line, you cannot manually
tick it as complete.
QUIZZES
This icon indicates a review quiz.
The quiz will consist of multiple-
choice, true-or-false, matching,
and short-answer questions. You
are allowed to use your study
materials to help you answer the
quiz questions, i.e. these are
open-book quizzes.
Feedback
At the end of each courses, there
is a feedback form. We really
want to know how these courses
are affecting your relationship
with God. We also want to hear
your suggestions to improve the
courses. The feedback, which is
compulsory, is completely
anonymous.
PROGRESS BAR
You can see your progress on the
Progress Bar
When you enter your
course, you will see the
«Progress Bar» in the top
right corner. It indicates at a
glance how much of the
course you have completed.
Each block represents a
required activity. This is how
it appears before you begin.
Progress Bar
When you complete an
activity, the «Progress Bar»
marks it as complete. This
example shows that the
student has completed the
first two requirements, 2 of
8, and has now completed
25% of the required
activities.
Progress Bar
This is what the «Progress
Bar» looks like when you
have completed all the
required activities. This
indicates that you have
finished the course.
COURSE COMPLETION STATUS
You can see more details about your progress using the
Course Completion Status
The «Course Completion
Status» block gives you
more information about the
required activities and their
completion status. This is
what it looks like when you
first log in to your course.
Click on «More details» to
see specific requirements.
Course Completion Status
Course Completion Status
This column lists all the
required activities that
must be completed.
Course Completion Status
This column indicates what you
must do to have an activity marked
at «Complete». If it is blank, the
activity is marked as complete
when you have submitted or
posted what is required. If it says
«Marking yourself complete», you
must check the box beside the
activity on the course page.
Course Completion Status
This column simply indicates
whether or not you have
completed an activity. If you
have completed it, the date
on which it was completed is
supplied.
Course Completion Status
The student has now
completed the first two
activities. You can see that
they are marked “Yes” and
the date of completion is
given (15 Dec. 2014).
Course Completion Status
When all the activities are
marked as “Yes” (complete),
then you have completed
the course!
ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE!
We trust that your relationship with Jesus Christ will be
greatly strengthened and deepened as you complete
Crossroads online.
