Board

Why use it?

A board can be used to share ideas, in text, using external links, adding images and videos, simultaneously in one place. Posts can be starred (= rated), and displayed anonymously or publicly. A board in Moodle functions like a shared visual scrapbook. It can either be one big space or be organised in columns. Students can move their own posts to different columns after posting, if that setting is enabled.

Step 1: Add a Board

Edit Mode on. Scroll to the section where you want your Board to be displayed, click Add an activity or resource and pick Board.

Give the board a name and a description. You can add hex numbers for colour and add a background image to individualise the look of a Board.

Save and Display.

There will be three columns by default. Double click on “heading” to change column title.
