Enabling Front Page Editing

Open the home-page settings and turn editing on. The page then exposes the controls used to add and reposition blocks.

Adding and Positioning a Block

Choose a block from the available list. The archived example adds an online-users block.

Reviewing Activities and Resources

The activity and resource chooser lists the items that can be added to a course or page. The next articles cover those items in focused guides.

Summary

Blocks can personalize Moodle navigation and supporting information, but too many blocks can make a page harder to use. Keep the home page focused and test the result as a learner.
