The Moodle page creates a link from the Moodle course homepage to a sub-page where you can place insert written content, images, links and media (such as audio and videos). 

...

It is a good idea to use pages to embed videos and provide information that students may only need to access occasionally since this will reduce clutter on the course homepage. If you have a lot of content you may want to , consider using a multi-page book instead (a book is a series of connected pages).

This is especially important if you are using the topics or collapsed topics formats, as all the content will appear on one long, scrolling page. If your course uses the OneTopic (tabs) format then you may choose to add more content directly to each tab, as students will only see each one section at a time.

...

Decide whether a page is the best option, or if a (multi-page book) Book may be more appropriate for providing chunked content to students. Showing a lot of information on one page can make it difficult to digest, so keep content concise and split longer content across multiple pagepages, potentially using a book, which will automatically show a list of all the pages within it.

Meeting the Baseline

The UCL E-Connected Learning Baseline suggests the following for  Structure : 

• 1.1 Present activities and resources in a meaningful, clearly structured and sequenced way
  • Use headings  - Use Section Headings for each topic area and heading styles within Text and media areas (formerly Labels), Books, and Pages to Pages to maintain consistency across sections and help students see where they are.
• 1.2 Minimise cognitive load - Avoid overloading the front page by placing content off the main page in Pagesin Pages, Books, Folders, Lessons and by hiding  and by hiding unused items.

How do I set one up?
