11. Imagine Moodle as a platform that comes with a great set of bricks. Slide by Tomaz Lasic

12. On this platform, we can have different foundations (called courses ). This is where we put our bricks on ( activities, resources, modules, plugins, blocks, filters ). Slide by Tomaz Lasic

13. We can arrange the bricks that fit in any way that suits our educational and/or business purpose. Slide by Tomaz Lasic

14. We decide who gets in and does what in our courses … and for that reason we have roles: Admin can do, see & edit anything on the site Teacher can do, see & edit anything in their course Student can do, see & edit in course as assigned by teacher Guest can only look in to parts allowed Permissions for parent or any other role can be specified... Slide by Tomaz Lasic
