Components For Learning (c4l)

 
A plugin for the Moodle TinyMCE editor that provides a set of visual components designed explicitly for Learning, based on the parent project componentsforlearning.org.

You can install the plugin from the Site Administration area (Plugins → Install plugins → Install plugin from ZIP file). Once the plugin is installed, the corresponding button will be added to the TinyMCE editor buttons bar. 

A setting enabled by default allows previewing components on hover. To change it, just uncheck the enablepreview setting on Site Administration area → Plugins → Text Editors → TinyMCE editor → Components for Learning (C4L).

The capability 'tiny/c4l:viewplugin' allows configuring the plugin visibility to any role.

This plugin is based on another plugin for Atto editor named Components for Learning (C4L) (https://moodle.org/plugins/atto_c4l) that is part of a broader, collaborative project called Components for Learning (https://componentsforlearning.org). You will find there all the related documentation and detailed usage recommendations and examples for all components included here.
