What is a Label?

A label serves as a spacer on a Moodle course page.It can be used to add text,images, multimedia or code in between other resources in the different sections. It is a very versatile resource and can help to improve the appearance of a course if used thoughtfully. Banners or descriptions may be added to labels to distinguish between and highlight different areas. (Note that excessive use of multimedia (sound,video) in labels can slow down the loading of a course page.)

Embedding sound and video in a Label

How is it set up?

In a course, with the editing turned on, choose Label from the activity chooser.
In the text box, add your text, images, sound or video files as desired. If you use the Atto editor, you can drag and drop these directly into the label.
Expand the other settings to specify what you require and then click Save and return to course.

How does it work?

Student view

What students see in the Label depends on how the teacher has configured it. Labels display as a part of the course page, so there is no icon to click on. Note that Labels can only have manual activity completion.

Teacher view

If teachers have set access restrictions on the Label, these will display to the teacher. Labels are useful when gamifying your Moodle course, for example by revealing an image in a label only when a previous activity was completed.

-An exciting possibility for labels allows external or internal pages to be displayed in the middle of the moodle screen (instead of just putting a link to them)
-===How===
-* Create a label
-* Display raw HTML code (use the editor button <>)
-* Insert code like:  <iframe width="100%" height="200" align="middle" src="http://www.google.com" border="0"></iframe>
-Additionally, labels allow more flexible formatting of moodle resources e.g. place links to resources in a table so that many can be offered in the same line, thus reducing the need to scroll through a course page.
-The actual resources still need to exist in the course, perhaps in an admin topic at the very bottom.
-*Turn editing on by clicking the '''Turn editing on''' button.
-*In the content area in which you wish to put the label, click the '''Add a resource...''' drop-down menu. choose Insert a label.
-A new window will appear where you can type your label.
-===Quick Tip===
-Before entering any text hit the Shift+Enter key (hold-down the Shift key and hit the Enter key on your keyboard) to skip to the second line. This will prevent labels and resources from bunching up together.
-Be careful NOT to hit the Enter key alone since this will create an undesired paragraph.
-When you're finished be sure to click the '''Save changes''' button.
