 Blocks for Events There are a number of blocks we can add as a teacher to our course to display important information to our learners. If we scroll past the Navigation and Administration block we can see a block called Upcoming Events and what's visible in this block depends on what's being added to the calendar either as a course teacher or site-wide by the administrator. If we move down you can see there's the Latest Announcements block and anything here is connected to the postings in the Announcements forum. Announcements appear by default in the top of every course as we have here and the course teacher would add information they have about events and course notices. It's not a proper forum because students can't reply to it and as we've seen we can change its name. The default is Announcements, it could be called Course Notices for instance and whenever you post something there it will appear in the Latest Announcements block. A useful block as well would be the Calendar block and so to add the calendar block we need to turn the editing on either by clicking the Turn Editing on button or in the Administration block by clicking the link Turn Editing on and then from the Add block drop-down choosing the block we want. Here you can see the blocks which haven't yet been added if it's already on the course page it won't appear here such as the Latest Announcements block although some blocks can be duplicated. Let's display the calendar block and when the page refreshes the block appears and if we want to move it we simply drag it to the position we want or we click and hold on to the icon and select an area to move it to. To add an event we click on the month and then choose the day and the event. It's important to know that as a course teacher we can only add events to the calendar that relate to our course or personal events called user events which anyone can add but are private to each individual. So let's add a course event and see how it displays in the upcoming events block alongside site or global events the administrator has added.
