<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Moodle course formats</B></P>
<P><B>Weekly format</B></P>
<UL>
The course is organised week by week, with a clear start date and a finish date.
Each week consists of activities. Some of them, like journals, may have
"open windows" of, say, two weeks after which they become unavailable.
</UL>
<P><B>Topics format</B></P>
<UL>
Very similar to the weekly format, except that each "week" is called a topic.
A "topic" is not restricted to any time limit. You don't need to specify any
dates.
</UL>
<P><B>Social format</B></P>
<UL>
This format is oriented around one main forum, the Social forum, which appears
listed on the main page. It is useful for situations that are more freeform.
They may not even be courses. For example, it could be used as a departmental
notice board.

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Uploading a picture</B></P>
<P>You can upload a picture from your computer to this server, and this picture will be used in various places to represent you.
<P>For this reason, the best images to use are a close-up of your face, but you can use any image you like.
<P>The picture must be in JPG or PNG format (ie the names will usually end in .jpg or .png).
<P>You can get a picture file using one of four methods:
<OL>
<LI>Using a digital camera, your photos will most likely already be on your computer in the right format.
<LI>You can use a scanner to scan a printed photograph. Make sure you save it as JPG or PNG format.
<LI>If you're artistic, you might draw a picture using a paint program.
<LI>Lastly, you can "steal" images from the web. <A TARGET=google HREF="http://images.google.com/">http://images.google.com</A> is a superb place to search for images. Once you find one, you can "right-click" on them with the mouse and choose "Save this image..." from the menu (different computers may vary slightly).
</OL>
<P>To upload the image, click the "Browse" button on this editing page, and select the image from your hard disk.
<P>Then click "Update my Profile" at the bottom - the image file will be cropped to a square and resized down to 100x100 pixels.
<P>When you are taken back to your profile page, the image might not appear to have changed. If this is so, just use the "Reload" button in your browser.

his remark?</li>

<li>What is Jenny assuming?</li>
<li>What could we assume instead?</li>

<li>All of your reasoning depends on the idea that _____. Why have you based
your reasoning on _____ instead of _____?</li>
<li>You seem to be assuming _____. How do you justify taking that for granted?</li>
<li>Is that always the case? Why do you think the assumption holds here?</li>
<li>Why would someone make that assumption? </li>
</ul>
<h3>Questions that probe reasons and evidence</h3>
<ul>
<li>What would be an example?</li>
<li>How do you know?</li>

<li>Do you have any evidence for that?</li>
<li>What difference does that make?</li>
<li>What are your reasons for saying that?</li>
<li>What other information do you need?</li>
<li>Could you explain your reasons to us?</li>
<li>Are these reasons adequate?</li>
<li>Why do you say that?</li>
<li>What led you to that belief?</li>
<li>How does that apply to this case?</li>
<li>What would change your mind?</li>
<li>But, is that good evidence for that belief?</li>
<li>Is there a reason to doubt that evidence?</li>
<li>Who is in a position to know that is true?</li>
<li>What would you say to someone who said that ____?</li>
<li>Can someone else give evidence to support that view?</li>
<li>By what reasoning did you come to that conclusion?</li>
<li>How could we find out if that is true? </li>
</ul>
<h3>Questions about Viewpoints or Perspectives </h3>
<ul>
<li>The term &quot;imply&quot; will require clarification when used with younger
students.</li>
<li>What are you implying by that?</li>
<li>When you say _____, are you implying _____?</li>
<li>But, if that happened, what else would happen as a result? Why?</li>
<li>What effect would that have?</li>
<li>Would that necessarily happen or only possibly/probably happen?</li>
<li>What is an alternative?</li>
<li>If _____ and _____ are the case, then what might also be true?</li>
<li>If we say that ____ is ethical, how about _____? </li>
</ul>
<h3>Questions that Probe Implications and Consequences </h3>
<ul>

<li>Would _____ ask this question differently?</li>

<li>Do we all agree that this is the question?</li>
<li>To answer this question, what other questions must we answer first?</li>
<li>I'm not sure I understand how you are interpreting this question. Is this
the same as _____?</li>
<li>How would _____ state the issue?</li>
<li>Why is this issue important?</li>
<li>Is this the most important question, or is there an underlying question
that is really the issue? </li>
</ul>
