Moodle contains a wide range of activity modules that can be used to build up any type of course.

With this module you can survey your students with a custom survey.

Glossary
This activity allows participants to create and maintain a list of definitions, like a dictionary.
The entries can be searched or browsed in many different formats.
The glossary also allows teachers to export entries from one glossary to another (the main one) within the same course.
Finally, it is possible to automatically create links to these entries from throughout the course.
Hot Potatoes
After students have attempted the quizzes, a number of reports are available which show how individual questions were answered and some statistical trends in the scores.
hotquestion
This file contains the main description of the hotquestion 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 hotquestion 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 hotquestion/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 hotquestion!
Learning styles tests
Learning styles tests allow to clasify students in some learning styles pertenency levels. With this information a course could be personalized to the students's styles pertenency levels. Learning styles tests are identified by a name and a language. A test with the same name and language than an existing one cannot be created.

Questionnaire

Scheduler
This module helps you to schedule one-on-one appointments with all your students. You specify the periods during which you are available to see the students and the length of each appointment. The students then book themselves into one of the available timeslots. The module also lets you record the attendance.
This module checks conflict constraints across scheduler instances. This means that an appointment within a course could generate a constraint on slots in another course.
JPG Slideshow
This module is a simple activity which allows the user to view a set of images using thumbnails.
Select the directory which contains the image files (png, gif or jpg format)
Teachers will see a link to a special page that allows them to edit titles and captions for the pictures.
A warning will appear for teachers if there are filesizes which are larger than the threshold set by admin for this.
Surveys
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.
