Thanks for that tip. I haven't had to use Moodle for some time so I wasn't aware. I'm would guess they might have an alternative key combination though

Hello @Bee R. Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry that some things you needed to understand weren't clear in the video. Is there anything specific that you might need help with?

sure like how do students interact considering that the chat message is very small. Also how do you upload or download pdf documents

Oh okay. If I understood your first question correctly, I would not allow students to interrupt the flow of the presentation until I was done. Once the presentation was over, they could chime in with questions and contributions. Between lectures I kept the group chat open for students to interact with each other within the context of the course. However, unless there was something particularly interesting to them, they rarely interacted in the group apart from asking questions. There are several possible reasons why interactions were limited but I think one of the major ones is that WhatsApp is not an ideal platform for forum discussions. Students can easily chat over each other and the conversation becomes difficult to follow. Having a learning management system with a "forum" feature (e.g., Moodle or Canvas) may be helpful for more productive student interactions. As for uploading and downloading PDFs, WhatsApp allows you to attach files. If I remember correctly the term they use for that is "documents" and it can be used to attach basically any type of file (including video and audio) up to a certain size limit (100mb maybe). Where the document attachment button is located will differ depending on the platform that you are using (android, iOS, web or desktop). Once you find it and tap on it, you would need to navigate to your PDF file using a file explorer on your device and simply attach it. Downloading PDFs from WhatsApp requires just a simple tap on the file and it will download. I hope I understood your questions correctly and gave a helpful response. If not, please feel free to reach out again.

Hey Jinsen. I've not been using Moodle for some time because I changed jobs. Unfortunately because of this I am unable to test this out and give you a solid response

It's a compromise solution designed to address the low data issues in developing countries. While it is not a Zoom replacement, you can get great engagement once the chat is open for comments 😊

Hello, would you still need help?

Hello Yasir, thanks for your feedback. Is there something specific in the video that you think I need to improve on?

Hello @ain Nabil, I don't think that's possible but I could be wrong

Hello Doc, yes it's possible. You can copy and paste the questions into Visual Studio Code and continue editing in there

You're welcome. I'm glad the tutorial was helpful. All the best!

I'm glad the tutorial was helpful, thanks for subscribing. Let me know if you need any further help and I'll try my best to help you

Hello @johnny mongan If you have a teacher to add to the group you can do so by either adding them directly or by sending them an invite link. You might also consider making them a group administrator

Thanks for the feedback And Rudn. At the moment I don't think it's possible to add pictures using this method. That would have to be done directly on the learning management system. The Gift format seems to be tailored for fast creation of text-based questions

I'm glad it helped, have a great day!

@@TechforLecturers Can you make a video on how to include maths formula using the Gift format in VS Code

@Matai Waqanokonoko thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure if it would work but I guess it's worth trying. I'll let you know how the experiment goes 😉

@dorosham lifestyle I'm glad you found the video helpful 🙂

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad it was helpful

Hey Gladys, thanks for reaching out. I hope you're safe and well. Would you like to edit an essay question or to grade the essay submissions of students?

@@TechforLecturers thank you too for your quick response, I teach English and I would like to edit students essays, not the question, but their responses.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm assuming that this is in the context of the quiz activity. From what I know, it may not be possible to edit their responses directly, especially if they respond using the Atto editor (i.e. they're typing their essay into the text box on Moodle). That being said, you can set up the essay question such that students can submit file uploads and then allow them to submit Microsoft Word documents that you can then download and grade offline. This would allow you to track changes and then send the corrected file back to the student as you enter their grades (I'm guessing it should be possible to upload file responses as you manually grade quizzes but I'm away from my computer so I might need to check on this later). If I misunderstood your question, feel free to reach out again, it's early morning around here so I'm still warming up to the brand new day 😂

@@TechforLecturers helpful, thanks alot.

After adding the question how to display this to students

@AccessToPower you're welcome, thanks for reaching out!

Hey Anil. That's a good question, I'm not sure, I might need to check on that

@Astronomy Vanier thank you for your kind words. As for the question, you can use the Embedded Answers (Cloze) question type for short answer and numerical questions. Would you like a tutorial on that?

@@TechforLecturers Yes, please. I am struggling to figure out all of this

Had a busy start to the week, if it's not too late I'll try to record it tomorrow

I'm glad it was useful. If you need help, feel free to reach out and I'll try my best to assist with any useful tips

@@TechforLecturers Thank you so much. Please could you tell me how you created the square presentation slides? They fit really well onto WhatsApp. Thank you.

Hello again, I must've have used a free tool called Canva (bit.ly/GetStartedonCanva). While you can use PowerPoint, Canva has many awesome templates and it's quite a pleasure to use honestly. When you login, you should see a prominent button labeled 'Create a design' When you tap on it, scroll through the options and select 'Presentation (4:3)' That should work well as it isn't too wide, while still allowing you a little extra space for text than a perfectly square slide. Once you're done you can download the slides as images, as a PDF or as a PowerPoint file

@@TechforLecturers That is incrediby helpful!! I tried to make a presentation slide on Canva yesterday, but missed the 4:3 selection and that fact that you can download them as images. That's great. Thank you again!! :-)

@@TechforLecturers I've just DONE IT!!! I now have the first 3 slides for my first lesson!! They look great. Thanks again!

Hello Andrew, I'm so sorry I couldn't get back to you earlier. Were you able to get around this?

Thank you very much for your kind words ma'am. Indeed WhatsApp works better for us in Africa and I'm happy you've found the video useful. If you would need other tutorials let me know, I'd be happy to help 🙂

Hello sir number whatsApp please

Hello @Sherwin Barrios, I will look into it and try my best to assist you with a tutorial. Thanks for getting in touch!

@@TechforLecturers thank you sir!

I'm glad you liked it. I will be publishing an even easier method in the next few days. Stay tuned for that video

Very helpful! Can I use notepad for these questions? Thank you

Yes you can use notepad but I think you'll like the easier method that I demonstrate in my latest video. You can watch it here ruclips.net/video/Pl5SKkI8l9U/видео.html

That's great to hear. I hope you'll make a huge impact on your students for time and eternity! Be blessed!

I used Canva to make the slides then exported them as images but you can also do that in PowerPoint by navigating to: File --> Save As --> Change the file type to JPEG or PNG --> Save A dialog box will then pop up asking if you want to export the current slide or all slides. Select "All Slides" and you'll be all set If you would like a visual demonstration I would be happy to record a video of the process for you. Have a great day!
