Why do most New Year's resolutions fall apart after a few weeks?
This article from Wake Forest University suggests the problem isn’t lack of motivation, but how we plan. It shows how setting clear, realistic goals and building in flexibility can make resolutions easier to stick with and more likely to last.
Smart planning can turn your resolutions into real, lasting habits.

Moodle hack
Magically link to course activities
Moodle platforms can magically (automatically) turn an activity name into a link when you type it exactly — no hyperlinking, and no broken links later when you copy the course.
This works through the Activity names auto-linking filter, which you activate at the site level, and can then toggle on or off at the course or activity level.
The inclusive edit
Nobody likes a "Click here" — for good reason
Some learners navigate a page using only its list of links, which means vague text like “Click here” doesn’t help anyone. Descriptive links give clearer context, especially for screen reader users.
Try: “View the rubric,” “Open the reading,” or “Access this week’s activity.” It’s easier to skim and more accessible for those of us using screen readers.
