What's on the "My courses" page in Moodle?

Blocks—The boxes down the left-hand panel of the My courses page are called "blocks". They contain specific information or functions for you and your students.

You can add many different kinds of blocks to your course's home pages. For example:

• a Glossary block that you have set up in connection with a Glossary activity within the course. Every time a student logs in, a different word and definition from the Glossary displays in the block.
• an HTML block containing a Twitter feed.
