 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 news block, and anything here is connected to postings in the news forum. A news forum appears by default in the top of every course, as we have here, and the course teacher would add information they had about events and course notices. It's not a proper forum because students can't reply to it, and as you can see, you can change its name. As is called announcements, it could be called course notices, for instance, and whenever you post something there, it will appear in the latest news 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 news 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 onto the icon, and select an area to move it to. To add an event, we click on the months, 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 kept private to each individual. So let's add a course event, and see how it displays in the upcoming events block, alongside site events the administrator has added.
