Accessible Moodle (implementation guide)

A table of contents is created for a long, extensive course.

What is meant by this?

Use a table of contents if you have several contents or topic sections. This enables students to find the content they need quickly. The table of contents itself should be easy to find and linked to the sections/topics.

Why is it important?

Creating a table of contents in a long and comprehensive course is crucial as it provides clear orientation and structure for learners.

In a large course, disorientation and confusion can easily occur as the different sections and resources may not be obvious at first glance. A table of contents acts as a navigation tool that helps students to access relevant content in a targeted manner. This saves valuable time and energy as they don't have to spend hours searching for specific information.

In addition, a table of contents supports individualized learning by allowing students to focus on those parts of the course that best suit their needs and interests. This promotes student motivation and engagement as they have a sense of control over their learning process.

How can I implement/check it?

You can link sections to the table of contents as follows:

1. First copy the URL of your Moodle course
2. Then go to the text field in which you created the table of contents.
3. Select the text you want to link to.
4. Then click on the link symbol in the editor bar.
5. Now enter the copied URL. Then add #section-1 for the first section, #section-2 for the second and so on.
6. For "Open link in...", set "Current window" if necessary.
7. You can then save the setting and add further links to the table of contents.
