Scroll of Death



Moodle does not allow you to have sub-headings under topics which creates the problem of scroll of death. i.e a very long list of resources which students may find it difficult to navigate through. I solved this by creating buttons (monster buttons with crazy html code) which are hyperlinked to other pages within the moodle site. In that way you can create sub-topics within the site. All the moodle pages that go into the buttons as hyperlinks however still need to go somewhere so I created an extra topic heading called scroll of death which can be hidden from the students but contains all of the resources for that course.

Pre-intermediate scroll of death is very messy however. In future i think it is necessary to build all the pages first in a logical order in scroll of death and then go back and add the content into them later.
