Moodle 2.0

Blocks
Here's one way to create those links:
1. While viewing the Home Page of the course, in the address bar of your
browser you will see the web address of the course. In my example, it was
http://moodle.williamrice.com/course/view.php?id=4. Select and
copy this address.
2. In Topic 0, add a label. Do this by clicking on the Add a resource drop-down
menu and selecting Insert a label.
3. You should see a word processor-like window, where you enter the text of
the label. In my example, I added a horizontal rule and then typed Jump to a
Topic. You can add any text that you want to use to introduce these links.
4. Type the name of the first topic, such as Types of Plants.
5. Select the name of the topic by dragging across it.
6. Click on the Link button to create the link. You should see a pop-up
window where you can enter the URL of the link.
7. In the Insert Link pop-up window, paste the link that you copied before.
This is the link to the course's Home Page. Immediately after the link, type
the hash sign (#) and the number of the topic or week.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 for each topic.
9. When you have finished with the Edit label window, click on the Save
changes button to return to your course's Home Page. You will now see
the links in Topic 0.
Upcoming Events block
The Upcoming Events block is an extension of the Calendar block. It gets event
information from your calendar. By default, the Upcoming Events block displays
10 events; the maximum is 20. It looks ahead a default of 21 days; the maximum is
200. If there are more upcoming events than the maximum chosen for this block, the
events furthest away will not be shown.
This block is helpful for reminding students of the tasks that they need to complete
in the course.
