Hi

I'm new to installing and using MOODLE.

Can someone please take me through...

Installing WIKIPEDIA so it appears on each of my students pages when they log in. Ive downloaded the block but don't know what to do now and if I need a graphic and where to put any graphic?


thanks in advance

DH,

You seem to have three questions, one easy, the second slightly confusing, the third more confusing:
  1. Having downloaded a block, how do you install it? See Installing contributed modules or plugins#Block_installation.
  2. How do you include it on students' pages when they log in? I guess that depends on what page they normally see when they log in: front page, course page, mymoodle page? Whichever page it is, I presume this is just a matter of adding an instance of the block (once it's installed, of course) to the page. See Blocks. To make it a Sticky block, see Sticky blocks.
  3. "If I need a graphic, where to put the graphic?" What kind of graphic do you think you might need? For what purpose? Where do you want to put it? If you are talking about pictures in Wikipedia articles, I'm sure they will appear automatically when you use the block to find the article.
For more help on blocks, try the Blocks forum.
