Global Blocks in Moodle

The following Blocks are shown on all course pages, and must not be deleted (because it will affect all courses):

  • Top of page:
    • Feedback
    • Course Information
  • Right sidebar:
    • Panopto
    • Upcoming events
    • Administration menu
    • Main menu

If you need to hide any of these from a course (e.g. the Course Handbooks):

  1. Go to the course page
  2. Enable edit mode (top-right corner of the page), if not already enabled
  3. Click the     icon in the top-right corner of the block
  4. Click "Hide <type> block"
  5. Repeat steps 3-4 for any other blocks to be hidden
  6. Click the     icon in the top-right corner of any of the activity sections (e.g. "General")
  7. Click "View"
  8. Repeat steps 3-4 for each of the blocks to be hidden (because internally the section pages are different from the course overview page)
