This board plugin has been developed and is maintained by Brickfield Education Labs.
This is an anonymous collaborative activity where the teachers sets out a number of columns with
editable names and then students add contributions to a column.
Visit our Brickfield Board introduction page here.
On the Board, students can:
- Add a new post with some of the following:

- Some text, with some Markdown formatting options.
- Add a link.
- Upload an image.

- Add optional comments to posts.
They can also do the following depending on the settings of the teacher:
- Move their notes among columns.
- Rate or star someone else's post.
The teacher can set up the activity with the following options:
- A closing date for submissions.
- How the posts are ordered in a column, by date or star count, or neither.
- Whether posts can be starred - by students, teachers, or neither.
- Standard moodle group access settings.
- Single user modes also available.
On the board a teacher can:
- Apply a pre-built template for quicker and easier deployment.
- Move any of the posts from one column to another.

Is there any plans on adding a non-anonymous option for this activity?
The "single user" mode is great, but a collaborative board with the option to add the user's signature on posts and comments could be really usefull.
I use it with my students as a Kanban board. As I want them to be as autonomous as possible, I let the members of a group to move edit and delete the messages form the other members of the group. However, by using this kind of authorization, they are also able to delete or rename the columns of the board and then deleting the whole column for all of the groups!!!
I would really appreciate if it was possible to distinguish betwen the right of moving/editing/deleting messages and the right of moving/editing/deleting the columns.
Thanks.

Many thanks for using Board and giving us your feedback, we appreciate it!
Please contact us at support@brickfield.ie if you'd like to discuss this further.
If the image title is left blank, the form refuses to submit, and a red "Required" text shows below the image title field.
Then when you view and inspect the image on the board or in the note itself, the image title value should be used for the image alt text.
Your feedback has reminded us about a pending change, so in the next release, we're going to rename this field "Image alt text"!
If you have been able to submit and view a post which includes an image, but doesn't appear to have any image alt text, we would definitely like to investigate to see if this is a bug, so feel free to contact us at support@brickfield.ie if you have any further queries or feedback! Thank you!
