#Redirect [[Using Text and media area]]
This page explores ways a [[Label]] may be used in your Moodle course.
 
Label is  a versatile resource that can serve a spacer between resources on a course page. It can provide a space for embedding banners, sound or video files or displaying code.
 
==Adding sound or video to a label==
If multimedia filters are enabled, a label is a neat way of displaying sound or video in an inline player on the course page.
*You can link to or upload audio and video from the media icon (1)
*With the [[Atto editor]] you can record short audio (2) or video (3) clips directly into the label.

==Adding code to a label==
 
'''Note:''' The success in adding code to a label depends both on the type of code and the permissions of the user.
 
An example of this is the ability to embed a Google map into a label.
*Go to Google maps (or wherever you can get your embed code and copy it.
*Follow the instructions for [[Label_module_settings| adding a Label]]
*Expand the toolbar and click the code icon:
 
[[File:LabelCodeView.png|center]]
 
*This brings up the screen in code (HTML) view.
*Paste the code you got from Google maps (or other site) into this screen

*Click "Save and return to course"

==Adding images to a label==
*Images can be uploaded by clicking the image icon in the [[Atto editor]] and searching the [[File picker]]
*Alternatively, with the editing turned on, images may be dragged into the section you want.
*In the box that follows, choose "add image"
*It will appear embedded in a label.

|[[File:dragdrop3.png|thumb|And here it is!]]
|}
Note that if you cannot drag and drop images then ask your admin to check the site settings for Label.
 
==Adding text and links to a label==
As the label uses the [[Text editor]] it is straightforward to enter text, links and other required symbols and equations.
 
There is an experimental setting which the administrator must enable in  ''Administration > Site administration > Development > Experimental > Experimental settings'' which allows you to drag and drop text and links into labels.
 
===(Experimental) Drag and drop ===
''Note: this does not work with IE, Safari 6 or below and is unreliable with Firefox''
*Drag and drop upload of text/links must be enabled in ''Administration > Site administration > Development > Experimental > Experimental settings''
* '''For text:''' Select the text you wish to use, for example in a Word document.
*With the editing turned on, drag the text over to the section you want it to appear.
*From the box that appears, choose "add a label" and then "upload".
'''*For links:''' Open up a new window with the URL you wish to link to. Select the link in the browser bar.
*With the editing turned on, drag the URL over to the section you want it to appear.
*From the box that appears, name the link  and then click "upload".
