Introduction
In the 2021 academic year, Hiroshima University has introduced moodle, an open
source e-Learning platform based on moodle, in order to further enhance the online
teaching environment.
The moodle system is based on a set of web pages, called a course, which are
created for each class or course unit. There students can review material presented,
submit report assignments, and take quizzes.
This book provides a brief introduction to the basics of using the vast moodle system.
