 The Text Block A text block is a customizable block allowing you to add images, text, links or even embedded code or widgets to blocks at the side of your course. You don't need to understand any code to use it. You can add more than one text block as you see here where we have, for instance, a block introducing the course teacher and an image of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. To add a block we enable edit mode and then from the block draw click add block and choose the block we want, here text block. Let's add an image of the course teacher with a short message. We give it a title, I'm going to call it. Welcome. And then in the content we add the image we want. Teacher Sam has her image on the desktop so simply needs to drag it in. Moodle's editor allows you to drag and drop an image. We then click on it to give it a description. Underneath the image we can add text including making a link and then when we click save the text block displays in the block draw.
