The dock is an area where blocks can be moved to and from this area with the block to dock and dock to block icons.
The "docked" blocks appear as horizontal tabs along the left margin attached to the page.
The docked block can expand into a menu with a click on the tab in the dock area. Clicking on the dock icon when a block is in the docked position, will move the block back to its original position.
Using the Dock
Moodle 2 introduced a dock for managing blocks. The dock is on the left and can be accessible to anyone any time on any block including navigation to an HTML block. It allows users an option of changing the look of a page on their screen. For example, a student could move all blocks to the dock, creating a 1 column effect.
A student moves all blocks to the dock area - view had 1 column | A student un-docks all blocks - now view has 3 columns |
Another docking example
To place a block on the dock, click the docking option | The block automatically moves to the dock | To access the block, use the mouse-over. |
