Moodle can support the learning and teaching experience through the provision of a wide range of tools. These facilitate resource delivery and access to a range of online activities and (where used appropriately), can help the Moodle Teacher to construct an exciting and dynamic learning environment for their students.
As a general rule, it is not necessary to know what each resource or activity setting does, however most settings in Moodle will be accompanied by a help icon 
. Clicking on the help icon will open up context sensitive assistance which may be useful for those wishing to explore additional settings.
