<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The Accessibility block allows students to customize Moodle to their visual needs.&nbsp; It supports changing of text sizes and color schemes. &nbsp;The block includes the "ATBar." This provides extra tools and customization options, including dictionary lookup and Text-to-speech.</em>&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>To add the Accessibility Block to the list of blocks in the left margin of your course, turn editing on (click on the "Turn editing on" button in the upper right corner of the course) scroll to the "Add a Block" block and select "Accessibility" from the drop down menu.<br /><br /><img style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border: 0px none; border-width: 0px;" src="https://web.augsburg.edu/it/kb_images/moodle/Accessibility_13.png" alt="List of block types on drop down menu" width="237" height="449" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>The block includes a "Launch ATbar" button. Clicking on this opens a new toolbar at the top of the Moodle page with 0ptions for individuals to customize the appearance of their Moodle course including:
<ol>
<li>increasing/decreasing font size</li>
<li>changing font settings</li>
<li>activating text-to-speech</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Checking the "(always?)" box means any changes will be persistent when students return to the course.<br /><br /><img src="https://web.augsburg.edu/it/kb_images/moodle/Accessibility_16.png" alt="Launch ATbar" width="575" height="525" border="0" hspace="0" /></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>The Sharing Cart is a block for duplicating course items into a personal library and an easy way to move those Moodle resources and activities between multiple courses on your site. With just three clicks, the Sharing Cart copies and moves a single course item from one course to another. It copies without user data--similar to the "Import&rdquo; function in Course Administration.&nbsp;</em></strong></p>
<ol>
<li>In your course, turn editing on and scroll down to the "Add a Block" block (in the left margin). <span style="color: #ff0000;">[<strong>NOTE:</strong> You must add the Sharing Cart block to EACH&nbsp;course where&nbsp;you want&nbsp;to share resources and activities.]</span><br /><br /><img style="border-width: 2px;" src="https://web.augsburg.edu/it/kb_images/moodle/sharing01.png" alt="scroll to Add a block" width="276" height="549" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>From the dropdown menu, select "Sharing Cart." <span style="color: #ff0000;">[<strong>NOTE:</strong> the block will automatically be added--you do not need to "Save" or "Update."]</span><br /><br /><img style="border-width: 2px;" src="https://web.augsburg.edu/it/kb_images/moodle/sharing02.png" alt="Scroll to Add a Block" width="231" height="459" border="0" hspace="0" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>Once you have added the Sharing Cart block to a course, when you have "editing" turned ON&nbsp;every Moodle resource or activity in that course has a "blue basket" icon to the left of the Edit dropdown menu. Click on that option&nbsp;to&nbsp;save a copy of that resource/activity in&nbsp;the Sharing Cart. <br /><br /><img style="border-width: 2px;" src="https://web.augsburg.edu/it/kb_images/moodle/sharecart1.jpg" alt="&quot;copy to sharing cart&quot; blue basket" width="585" height="463" border="0" hspace="0" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>When you select an item to copy to the sharing cart, a pop-up confirming your selection will appear. Click "Confirm."&nbsp;<span style="color: #ff0000;">[<strong>NOTE:</strong>&nbsp;You may be asked if you want to copy "user data." Almost always your answer should be "No."]</span><br /><br /><img style="border-width: 2px;" src="https://web.augsburg.edu/it/kb_images/moodle/sharecart2.jpg" alt="confirm share cart submission" width="584" height="148" border="0" hspace="0" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>The item will now appear in the Sharing Cart. To copy&nbsp;the item into another course, go into that course, add the Sharing Cart from the "Add a Block" block, and then click then click the download icon next to the item. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>[Remember that you must add the Sharing Cart to that course AND have "Editing" on!]</strong></span><br /><br /><img style="border-width: 2px;" src="https://web.augsburg.edu/it/kb_images/moodle/sharecart3.jpg" alt="Download from sharing cart" width="394" height="139" border="0" hspace="0" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>In the bottom of every topic section of your course, a "dotted line rectangle" will appear. Select where in the course you want to add the item, and click the arrow in the center of that box to add.<br /><br /><img style="border-width: 2px;" src="https://web.augsburg.edu/it/kb_images/moodle/sharecart4.jpg" alt="select where to add" width="523" height="362" border="0" hspace="0" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>You can delete individual items from your cart, do a bulk delete, or remove the sharing cart from&nbsp;your course.<br /><br /><img style="border-width: 2px;" src="https://web.augsburg.edu/it/kb_images/moodle/sharecart5.jpg" alt="deletion options" width="830" height="258" border="0" hspace="0" /></li>
