How do I create a teacher block in Moodle?
The teacher block should be placed immediately after the "Announcement" activity.
An example of the teacher block is shown below:
To minimize the need for frequent updates, follow the guidelines below.
Teacher Photo
The teacher's photo should be linked to the HR folder (via a blob). When HR updates the photo, it will automatically update in the teacher block on Moodle
Contact Information
Replace the teacher’s name, phone number, and email address. Adjust work hours as needed.
- Update the phone number part of the code:
<a href="tel:306-252-1000">
<span>
<i class="fa fa-phone fa-lg w-20" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>306.252.1000</a>
- Update the email address part of the code:
<a href="mailto: Bart.Simpson@saskDLC.ca">
<span>
<i class="fa fa-envelope fa-lg w-20" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>Bart.Simpson@saskDLC.ca</a>
School Calendar, Sask DLC and Me Links
