Components for Learning plugin (New)
TinyMCE (now the default editor in Moodle) is a powerful rich-text editor which is available whenever a Tutor edits a Moodle resource or activity.
We have added a new plugin to this editor which adds ready-made educational templates e.g. tips, alerts, quotes, and activity blocks, directly into the text editor.
It provides a visual aid within a Moode course to enhance course navigation and reduce the learners’ cognitive load.
Below is an image showing some of the Contextual Components available. We have added all the components into a Moodle course for you to view. Just click on the link below for the TEL guide which contains the link to the Moodle course.
