Moodle – the most popular open source Learning Management system (LMS) is used across 242 countries among 340 million users. It is used across all kinds of learning environments including the primary grade students, schools, universities, corporate training etc. In this post, we will see the Popup activities course format which can be quite handy for you as a pre-primary/elementary school teacher.

Popup Activities course format can display the course resources and activities embedded in modals instead of redirecting from the course page. This can be quite helpful for the students who are new to online learning. It is a perfect fit for younger students who will find it easy to navigate through course resources and activities. When students finish an activity or resource, they return to the course page by closing the modal without waiting for the course page to load again.

You can download the Popup Course format from the official Moodle plugins directory. The plugin is developed by Daniel Thies. You can follow this guide to install the plugin on your Moodle site. Once installed, there are basic configuration steps related to navigation and course index.

As a teacher you can change the course format to the Popup Activities and start using it. By default it will not show any change to the teacher role, so you need to check it as a student. Currently, the popup activities course format supports – Book, Choice, Custom certificate , File, Folder, H5P activity, Page, Poster, SCORM, URL, and Videotime activities. Other unsupported activities will be displayed as normally like in topics format.

What are the other plugins you would recommend for teaching young students in pre-primary/elementary grade. Please share with us in the comments section below.
