Components for Learning

Components for Learning is a collection of visual units which help to emphasize key content and make your Moodle space visually appealing. There are three main uses of the components:

  • Contextual components for reminders, useful tips, figures, quotations, reading context, etc.
  • Procedural components for attention, displaying due dates, estimated time for tasks, etc.
  • Evaluative components for information on feedback and grading.

Adding a component

Components can be easily added anywhere in your Moodle space by clicking the Components for learning (c4l) button in the Atto editor, as displayed below. The icon is the last one on the toolbar and resembles a square box with a handle on top.
