Moodle Teachers – How to add resources with different views in the course

-

Moodle is one of the most flexible and customizable learning management system in the world. You can extend the functionality by using Moodle plugins. Recently, a new Moodle plugin – Label with Group is released in the Moodle plugins database. In this post, we will see the installation, settings, usage of the Label with Group moodle plugin.

The Label with Group is an activity type plugin which allows you to add resources with different views in the course. There are four display options possible which are:

  • Without a template
  • Collapse template
  • Slide template
  • Collapse with slide template

In addition the Label with group plugin allows you to display them only for a specific groups of students in your course. The label with group module enables text and multimedia to be inserted into the course page in between links to other resources and activities.

You can download the Label with Group Moodle plugin from the plugin directory here. The plugin is developed by Leonardo Aprigio da Silva. I tested the plugin on my Moodle 4.0 test environment and I like the ability of the plugin to make content slideshow which can be collapsed. In addition the ability to share it to specific group of students is also stood out.

Label with Group Moodle Plugin

How to install:

To get started with the Label with group plugin, you need to download it from the Moodle Plugins directory. Since, it is a Activity type Moodle plugin, you need to install it into your_moodle_site/mod/  directory followed by completing the installation process through the Notifications page.

If you are not familiar with Moodle plugins installation, check out the complete Moodle Plugins Installation guide here.

How to setup:

There are no specific settings for this activity plugin. Once it is installed you will get a new link in the “Add an activity or resource” option.

How to use:

In order to use you need to Enter the Editing mode by toggling the Edit Mode On button. From the “Add an activity or resource” select Label with Group. In the Template field, you can choose the template to be used. If you choose slide or collapse with slide template then you will see the option to add new slides under the content section.
