How to Change Your Assignment Due Dates Faster
This short video tutorial will save you time, especially when you have to change the dates on multiple assignments. I shared this because I realized that some faculty weren't aware of this technique.
If you have been using this method already, share it in the comments. We would love to know how it is working for you.
The Atto text editor (sometimes referred to as the 'HTML editor') has many icons to assist the user in entering content. Many of these icons and functions should be familiar to anyone who uses a word processor. This text editor was built especially for Moodle, and you will find it in many of the activities and resources.
You can copy images from anywhere and then post them directly into the Text Editor.
If your browser allows it you can drag and drop images into the Text Editor.
