Great Plugin. It allows you to add a resource onto the course page which shows the title of the course and the course summary (description). Its a great help for us, because we previously were adding the information manually to the top of each course page.

This is a cool plugin, unfortunately it is not possible to disable or customize the title of this resource. It always shows the course title as heading - and very very large. It would be perfect, if one could customize the appearance of the resource title.

I have to agree with Robert's comment. The inclusion of the course title as a heading with no option to remove makes this unusable for me. Would be great to see this released for 3.5, with support for mobile and the option to turn off the course name... I think this would be very popular.

Je suis parfaitement d'accord. Le fait que le titre soit directement inscrit dans la description, cela rend redondant. Dommage.

Anyone having problems with Moodle 3.7 with this plugin? Install is fine but has missing functionality when used in course page - no text edit areas appear, simply, the title of the course appears when added to a course page?

@Phil: Does the plugin work as expected (by you) in moodle 3.5?
