Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to plan your courses so that you can map resources and activities to course learning objectives. You learned how the CDD can serve as a blueprint for course development and form the cornerstone and cognitive foundation of an instructional strategy. The chapter also covered the difference between resources and activities and the basics of adding them to a course. You also went through settings that are common to the different kinds of resources and activities.
Moodle 4.0's redesigned Resources and Activities icons are quickly identifiable and help users quickly recognize an activity or resource, appearing in the user's timeline for easy navigation.
In the next few chapters, you will learn about specific settings for specific resources and activities and how to make the best use of them. While you're learning how to work with those items, you can refer back to this chapter for a reminder on how to use common settings.
