6. Course Blocks

Your instructor can choose to enable a variety of course blocks in his/her course site to provide links to features relevant to each particular course. Blocks will typically appear on the right of the Moodle page or they may appear beneath the main course content, depending on your screen size.

Some popular blocks include:

  • The Activities block lists and allows navigation between the different activities available in your course (Forums, Quizzes, Assignments and so forth).
  • The Online users block shows a list of users who have been logged into the current course. 
  • The Calendar block provides quick access to some upcoming activities.
  • The Latest announcements block displays news and announcements created by your instructor. You can click on more... next to each topic to read the entire news item, or click on Older topics... to view past news items.
