Moodle LMS is one of the most popular open source learning management system in the world with more than 400 million users around the world. However, many Moodle teachers often face problem while creating content without the lack of basic HTML knowledge. While Moodle LMS comes with TinyMCE editor as default text editor but still basic HTML knowledge is required for properly formatting the course text.
Recently I can across a new useful Moodle plugin – Tiny HTML Blocks. The plugin allows you to create HTML blocks as Moodle administrator which can be used by the teachers easily while using the text editor. They will not need any HTML knowledge to use the HTML blocks.
You can download the Tiny HTML Blocks Moodle plugin from the official plugins repository here. After installing you can navigate to Site Admin > Plugins > Predefine HTML Blocks for TinyMCE page. On this page, you can create different HTML blocks containing different css formatting styles. You can add any number of blocks by adding different style elements on this page and click Save changes.
When a teacher visits any page with TinyMCE Editor, they will get a new menu item under Insert menu. When the teacher clicks on the HTML blocks, it will show all the css styles created by the admin.
Overall, I tested out the plugin on my local dev Moodle site and it seems to be pretty helpful for teachers especially when they are struggling with HTML knowledge. What are the other useful plugins which you are using on your Moodle site? Please share with us in the comments section below.
