Managing Moodle Blocks
Moodle Blocks appear on the right side of the content area and can be customised in a range of ways (depending on what each block is designed to do). They can be added and rearranged when in Edit mode. Blocks allow staff and students to locate key information more easily.

To view the blocks on your Moodle space click on the arrow on the top right of your screen to open the Block Drawer.
Adding a new block
To add a new block:
- Toggle Edit mode on.
- Open block drawer (if not yet opened).
- Click on “+ Add a block”.

Configuring / editing a block
To configure or edit a block:

Moving blocks
Where there are existing blocks in the Moodle space, they can be moved and rearranged in the Block Drawer.
To move a block:
