EdtechGuides: Blocks guide: Activities block

About Activities block

The Activities block lists the different activities and resources available in your course (Forums, Quizzes, Assignments, Lessons, etc) and provides links to the index page for each activity or resource. The activities list will grow as you add activities to your module.

This block is added automatically to modules using the Grid format and is not required in modules using City Course Format as the different activities are displayed via the Module dashboard.

There is no direct link to Lecture Capture in the Activities block. Links to Lecture Capture can be accessed via the link to External tools in the Activities block. This makes it ever more important that staff give meaningful names to Lecture Capture as other external tools e.g. Kortext or WileyPlus will be linked in the list of available External tools.

Add Activities block

If you change from City Course Format to Grid format or hide the Module dashboard, you will need to enable the Activities block.

Turn Edit mode on.
Open the Block drawer.
Select Add a block. An overlay window opens displaying available blocks.
Select Activities.
The Activities block will be added to the bottom of the Block drawer.
