The LSU Moodle site contains a list of standard Moodle activities and resources plus additional plug-ins added by the administrator. To add an activity or resource, click "Create learning activity" at the bottom of the course section. To read more about each item, click the information icon: Information icon in Moodle.

By default, all activities and resources are shown together in one list. It is possible to favorite an activity or resource by selecting the star icon below the item name. They can be filtered through tabs to show starred items, all items, only activities, or only resources.Activity or Resource Menu
