Blocks are items which may be added to the left, right or centre column (depending upon your [[Theme|theme]]) of any page in Moodle.


The [[course/view|course homepage]] generally contains '''blocks''' on the left and right of the centre column.
Any block can be made 'sticky' so that it appears in all the contexts below, such as throughout a course or a particular activity - see [[Block settings]].

Blocks are items which may be added to the left, right or centre column (depending upon your theme) of any page in Moodle.
