Blocks

Example shows blocks on left and right on a new empty course homepage

This page is for teachers who are learning about a course feature called blocks.

The course homepage generally contains blocks on the left and right of the centre column. For example in the upper right is the "Latest News" block and in the upper left is the "People" block.

Adding blocks

Teachers in a course may add blocks. In the above image the "Add Block" block is in the lower left. Here the dropdown list showing standard blocks in Moodle 1.6 plus a non-standard "Verify Certificate" block.
