Seasons greetings Visvanath! Well I wasn't involved in the research but I would imagine some students can't immediately guess what type of activity it is just from the icon. We know a hand holding a paper means an assignment and a paper with a tick/checkmark means a quiz, a big question mark means a Choice activity, but perhaps it wasn't so obvious to some students. (I'm just speculating.)

@Rick, I'm not sure it is a good idea to include the name in the icon because that would mean that all languages other than English would have to recreate their icons.

@Visvanath and others - to discuss displaying the activity type and other Moodle 4.0 UX issues, please go to the split post: Displaying the activity type in Moodle 4.0.

It's not a block - it is a setting. Go to Site administration> Front page > Front page settings and from Front page items when logged in, choose List of courses. (You can also choose Course search box)
