Activity Modules
Moodle contains a wide range of activity modules that can be used to build up any type of course.
Assignments
BigBlueButton
BigBlueButton supports the following capabilities:
Web Cam. Multiple users can share their Web cam at the same time. There is no built-in limit on the number of simultaneously active Web cams.
Presentation. The presenter can upload PDF documents, PowerPoint presentations, Microsoft Office documents and keep everyone in sync with their current page, zoom, pan, and see the presenters mouse pointer.
Integrated VoIP. Web conferencing supports voice over IP (VoIP) audio calls. All your students need are speakers and a microphone to participate.
Desktop Sharing. Go beyond slides. The presenter can broadcast their desktop for all students to see. Works on Mac, Unix, and PC.
Integrated Whiteboard. The whiteboard enables the presenter to draw freehand as well as simple shapes on top of the presentation slides. Everything drawn on the whiteboard is synchronized in real time across all the conference participants.

newmodule
This file contains the main description of the newmodule module. Usually, it's used to explain the main features of the activity, with a natural language. Also, the overall process of the activity is detailed here with its pedagogical foundation.
From a developer perspective, this "help" directory will contain simple html files like this that you will be able to link from newmodule code when any sort of explanation is necessary (it's easier to add those links automatically, both from the formslib stuff (see mod_form.php) and from everywhere else (see the helpbutton() function).
Also, don't forget to add one link to this help file from the newmodule/help "index.html" file, it will allow Moodle to show all the existing help files related to the module when the complete list of available help files is requested.
Please, replace me with the real information about the newmodule!

Wikis
A Wiki enables documents to be authored collectively in a simple markup language using a web browser.
"Wiki wiki" means "super fast" in the Hawaiian language, and it is the speed of creating and updating pages that is one of the defining aspects of wiki technology. Generally, there is no prior review before modifications are accepted, and most wikis are open to the general public or at least to all persons who also have access to the wiki server.
The Moodle Wiki module enables participants to work together on web pages to add, expand and change the content. Old versions are never deleted and can be restored.
This module is based on Erfurt Wiki.
