A block region with the latest news block (or similar - an RSS feed perhaps?) across the top of the course content?

Using the block name (and the course id if necessary) it could be styled differently from the others if necessary.

Using a block region like the ones in flexibase, you could even put an html block there, at the top of the course page, with a bootstrap carousel in it, for example.

Hi Derek,

Do you have the Generico filter installed? It has a bunch of predefined filters that can be setup with just a couple of clicks. In this case you would go to an empty template, click the menu dropdown for, Autofill template with a Preset, then select, Toggle. Toggle does what you want. It will let you create a label, such as "Click Me!" that when clicked will show whatever you want it to. When you click again, it will hide the item/text/whatever.

I'm working on a version that hopefully, will also let you define font size, font color, and background color.

Here is an example of what a student would see with the toggle filter in use as currently implemented in Topic 0.

Here is what was put into the topic 0 text box in edit mode. The Generico filter entered the first and last lines. You put whatever you want in between them.

There are a LOT of other uses available via the Generico filter such as postit notes, info boxes, warning boxes, countdown timers, etc.
