TABLE OF CONTENTS
Introduction
Adding activities and resources into your courses has become more streamlined and customizable through organized tabs and a quick way to click for the items you need to more often, allowing you to minimize scrolling and save you time.
Updated Activities and Resources
Once you are in editing mode in your Moodle course, you can click on the link to add an activity or resource. You will see four main tabs across the top labeled Recommended, All, Activities, and Resources. Use the table below the image to learn more about the breakdown of each tab.
| Tab | Description |
|---|---|
1. Recommended | This tab includes activities and resources that are general and frequently used by many instructors, arranged in alphabetical order |
2. All | Every activity and resource available to add into your Moodle course, arranged in alphabetical order. This now includes individual tool icons for every external tool available in Moodle |
| 3. Activities | Activities include tools that students must engage with by contributing their own work or demonstrating knowledge such as an assignment, journal, or quiz |
| 4. Resources | Resources include tools that students do not need to interact with beyond reading such as a text box, URL, or folder |
Customizing your Activities and Resources
You are now able to customize which activities and resources you would like to have easily accessible as you build your Moodle page.
Click on the star icon located with each tool.
If you use external tools, you will want to make sure you go to the All tab to find the specific external tool by name you wish to add to your course 
Now that you have starred the activities and resources you want, you will see that you have an added tab labeled Starred that will appear first in your tab list. This is the tab that will open first each time you go to add an activity or resource into your Moodle course.
To remove a tool from your Starred tab, simply unclick the star.
