Please refer to these notes before editing this page.

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.

On the other hand, over-use of multimedia (sound,video)in labels can slow down the loading of a course page.

See the links on the right for information on adding and using labels.

(Example of a label with an embedded mp3 file)

-== Use a label to display an external web page within a label ==
-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.
