Blocks

On the right side of your page in Moodle are a series of what Moodle calls 'Blocks'.

There are several blocks in your Moodle course such as:

• Navigation
• Key Course Milestones
• Quick Links
• Search Forums

In the top right corner of each block are tools you can use to either minimize, or dock the block.

Docking the block will move it to a tab arranged vertically on the left side of your page.

Please note: each block will have to be docked separately

Key Course Milestones Block

The Key Course Milestones block is a time-management tool. It is colour coded to quickly see what has and has not been completed.

	Mouse over for a link to the corresponding activity. When the bar is changes colour the activity has been completed.
	When the bar is the default colour the activity has not been completed.
