Note: The tags block will be disabled by default when you upgrade to 3.0 if you have previously used it to tag courses.

In Moodle 3.0 course tagging has been changed. It is now performed from the course editing form and controlled by capability moodle/course:tag. There is only one set of tags for the course comparing to separate users clouds in 2.9 and earlier. During upgrade sets of tags that different users selected for the same course will be consolidated. The setting "Show course tags" is removed from this block, it can only be used to display tag cloud.


A very effective way of viewing all tags is in a tags block, or "tag cloud".

A unique feature of tag clouds are that the size of each tag is related to the number of items associated with it. The larger the tag, the more items associated with it.
