As you develop your courses and curriculum in Moodle, it is important to plan well so that there is a level of consistency in the organization and presentation. Not only will you standardize your curriculum, you will also standardize your courses. At the heart of your organizing principles are the learning objectives. After that, you will include course material.

On Moodle, the course material is either a resource or an activity. A resource is an item that the student views, listens to, reads, or downloads. They can include web pages, links, files, videos, audio, and embedded social media. 

An activity is an item that the student interacts with, or one that enables the student to interact with the teacher or other students. Examples include quizzes, assignments, wikis, forums, and more. 

Usually, resources are ungraded, while activities are graded. Further, if you are developing a course curriculum for a certificate or degree program, you will need to ensure that they are presented in a consistent manner. You may wish to create a set of guidelines in a Course Design Document (CDD), which you will share with all your instructors and instructional designers/technologists, who are involved in creating courses or materials for the course. The CDD can translate to a template, customized for all the courses and curriculum.
