The Calendar block displays the following events:

• Site (event viewable in all courses - created by admin users)
• Course (event viewable only to course members - created by teachers)
• Groups (event viewable only by members of a group - created by teachers)
• User (personal event a student user can create - viewable only by the user)

The course completion status block shows what has been done towards completing the course. The student and teacher will both see this block. The "More information" link will lead to a more detailed report. This report can have some interactive elements in the form of check boxes for the student and teacher.

The "Course completion block" must be added to the course in order to see the "Course completion status" block.

Student view

The student can see their progress in the course by looking at the content of the block or clicking on the "More details" link to see a report.

A HTML block is basically a 'free' block. This means you can add any text, links or media to it with the HTML editor.

Add a HTML block

• Select 'HTML block' from the 'Add a block' menu.
• Edit the settings of the new block.
• Provide a title for the block.
• Add the content to the Content window. You can add text, media and links to websites or documents.
• Select 'Save changes'.

In an HTML block you can create links to external URLs, Moodle activities and resources or documents you have uploaded to Moodle

• Type the word or sentence that will be the link (make sure this is a word/sentence that conveys meaning to the learner)
• Highlight this word/sentence
• Select the chain icon in the text editor
• 
• In the Link URL box of the dialog window, you can add the following:
  • a URL of an external website (e.g. www.google.com)
  • a URL of a Moodle activity/resource (go to the required activity and copy the url that appears on top e.g. http://moodle.unitec.ac.nz/mod/page/view.php?id=235530)
  • a link to a document (see below)
• Select Insert
• Select Save changes.

To link to a document:

• Select the browse icon next to the Link URL field.

• Select Upload a file from the left menu to add a new file from your computer. Browse and select the file you need
• Select Server files to search for a file you have already uploaded in the course
• Select Insert.

Turn editing on.

On the left, under any existing blocks, is the "Add a block" menu.

Select the block you would like to add from the menu (if you do not see the block you want to add here, it may already be on your course page! Some blocks can only be added once to a course).

Once the block has been added it will appear on the left at the bottom. From here you can move (drag and drop) the block to a new location, and configure the block (using the cog icon).
