5. Remove unused blocks and sections  


Blocks appear to the left and right of the main resource area and your course should only use the blocks that add value to the online experience. To free up space for module content consider moving all blocks to the left of the main content area as this supports an uncluttered feel to the module.


  • Remove unused blocks and sections to help student orientation.
  • Add the Activity block to help students locate items
  • Consider moving all blocks to the left hand side to free up space for section contents.
  On unused blocks, click the cog icon and select "delete block".


The activities block, on the left, helps students to locate items.
