1 Getting ready

In this chapter, we will take a look at the evolution of multimedia: its advantages and uses in teaching and learning and how these can be used with Moodle.

We will also see some of the requirements for using multimedia in Moodle, and configure it accordingly, and make three simple experiments in a forum, with pictures, sound, and video, to see if everything is working as expected in integrating these in Moodle.

We will finally consider the basic knowledge, equipment, and software required to start creating this course, Music for an everyday life, which will gather contributions from History, Geography, Social Sciences, Science, and other fields of human knowledge.
