Common Fields

The following information is on almost every element block, and will be defined here:

  1. Name: The name of the item. This is visible to students.
  2. Editor: You can use either a standard, HTML-based editor, or you can use Markdown. Markdown is an amazing format, but it's not for everyone.
  3. Summary: This "Summary" text is always visible on the course page, so we recommend keeping it to around a paragraph in size. 
  4. Groups: If selected, only the Groups attached will be able to view this block.
  5. Style: This allows you to set the block's header color.
  6. Visible: Can any students see this block?

For more information on Style, click the "Tools" tab on the course page. There you will see examples of all available header colors.
