Resource Type
Resources are any content you can dream up. These are the different types, which mostly specify how the content is to be accessed:
Plain text - the easiest type. You can just type (edit) the page into a form on the following page. Some things you type will be automatically formatted, just like forum postings. More info about auto-formatted text
HTML text - for more advanced users. No automatic formatting is performed, you need to do it all manually using HTML codes. More info about HTML text
Reference - a scholarly reference to a journal or book.
Uploaded file - displays any file you have uploaded into the course. See the 'Files' section.
Directory - dislays a whole directory (and subdirectories) from your course files area. Students can then browse and view all those files.
Web link - A URL to somewhere on the web. When anyone clicks on this resource activity they will be taken out of the course (the page you've specified will fill the browser window, or if you specify it, will launch in a completely new window).
Web page - A URL to somewhere on the web. Like the previous type, this will display a web page. Unlike the previous type, though, the page will displayed within a frame, as if it is integrated within the course.
Program - an external program that requires information passed to it about the current Moodle user and course. This allows external web applications to cooperate with Moodle. More info about Program resources
Wiki text - allows more formatting options than Plain Text without having to learn HTML. You type plain text but a large range of formatting characters can be included (e.g. *this will be bold* /this will be emphasised/) to easily create complex formatting. More info about Wiki text
摘要
摘要是關於資源的一小段描述。您可以把它想像為後設資料(meta data)。
對於某些類型的資源，摘要是和資源一起顯示的；而其他一些類型則將摘要顯示在資源的索引頁面上，這樣學生可以更容易地找到需要的資源。
在這裏不要寫太多的東西，否則不就和資源本身一樣了！
目錄
目錄資源可以用來顯示課程檔區中一個完整的目錄(和其子目錄)，這樣學生就可以流覽並查看這些檔的內容了。
文件和網頁
這種資源允許您創建指向其他公共網頁或檔的鏈結，您也可以用它創建指向您從自己的電腦上傳到課程檔區中的檔。
普通的網頁按照它們應有的方式顯示，而顯示多媒體檔時則會是用更加智慧的方式，並將它們嵌入在一個頁面中。 例如，顯示MP3檔時會使用內嵌的流播放器，電影檔、Flash動畫等也都如此。
有很多選項用於設置您的內容在彈出視窗、框架中顯示的方式。
通常情況下，如果您的資源是一個Web應用或其他類型的可以接受參數的內容，您可以選擇向您的資源發送資訊， 如用戶的用戶名、E-mail和他當前所處的課程等。
HTML頁面
使用這種資源可以方便地用Moodle創建單獨的網頁，特別是使用Moodle的所見即所得HTML編輯器時。
頁面存儲在資料庫中而非一個檔內，在使用HTML和JavaScript方面，您有很大的自由。
