  Styles and layout - URL (resource)
  This entry relates to styles and layout. A URL is classified as a 'resource' in FLO.
  The URL resource enables a teacher to provide a web link as a topic resource. Anything that is freely available online (eg documents or images) can be linked to; the URL doesn't have to be the homepage of a website. The URL activity is particularly useful for linking to open educational resources (OERs). Linking externally ensures that you are not breaching copyright.
  URLs can also be added to any other resource or activity type through the HTML editor (hyperlink icon).
  Go to the module you would like the URL to appear
  Click on the URL icon to add it
  Add a Name and type or paste the URL in the External URL section
  Add a Description. Tick the 'Display description on topic page' box if you want the student to see this on the topic main page.
  Under Appearance, if an external resource (ie outside FLO, including Flinders University website) leave the Display default as 'New window'. If an internal resource (eg within the topic site), choose one of the other options (automatic, embed, open, in pop-up). Note: Choosing 'embed' is not recommended for copyright reasons (this makes it look as though the link resource belongs in your FLO site)
  Click Save and display or Save and return to topic
  Topic administration - preview as a student (switch role to)
  This entry relates to styles and layout, topic administration, and any situation where you set up activities and resources.
  FLO allows you to preview your content and activities as a student would. This is particularly useful when checking the setup and design of your topic (the building and testing phases).
  In your topic, in the top toolbar, open the drop-down menu next to your name/login
  Click Switch role to...
  In the next screen, select Student from the list (note that this view may not be perfect – see Moodle: Switch roles for more information)
  You will notice that Student appears under your profile name. You can now navigate around your site as a student would.
  To return to your normal role, click the Return to my normal role link under the drop-down My FLO menu
  If an activity or a module has group restrictions, you won't be able to access it if you switch your role to a student, as those restrictions will apply to you too. Hence, if there are restrictions based on groups, you should add yourself to that particular group for a complete student experience. This should be done prior to switching your role to a student.
  Student Two groups are synchronised regularly, and you will be automatically unenrolled from those groups each time it runs. This doesn't apply to a 'User-created group'.
  Student Two groups syncing starts at 20 to the hour, every hour and can take up to 15 minutes, so the best timeframe is the first 40 minutes of the hour. Attempting this in the last 20 minutes of the hour will work, but you may be unenrolled mid testing.
