Moodle in general operates with two basic types of modules: activities and resources. Activities are typically modules that students need to fulfill or accomplish (Assignments, Lessons, Quizzes, etc.) or use (Forum, Wiki, etc.). Resources moduls (Book, Folder, Page, File, etc.) on the other hand are study materials prepared and shared by the lecturer (e.g.: schedules, instructions, tutorials, learning aids, notes, etc.).
The following brief summary describes the modules that are most commonly used in tthe courses of our department. Parts written in italics indicate department-specific use of the given modul - which might potentially differ from the practice at other departments.
