Tiny HTML Blocks

Maintained by Stephan Robotta

Note: the development of this plugin has been stopped in favour of https://moodle.org/plugins/tiny_elements. A plugin for the TinyMCE editor to insert predefined HTML blocks when editing a text in Moodle. This enables users that are not so experienced in HTML still use predefined snippets in places containing text. The idea is to have Moodle courses designed in an appealing way and only using the WYSIWYG mode of the editor. Also the courses and other places look more alike and preserve a certain corporate identity using the same snippets.

To design Moodle courses in an appealing way, a good design is required. This demands some knowledge in HTML. In contrast, most teachers lack knowledge in web technologies if they are involved in non-technical subjects. Also, less technical experienced teacher try to avoid the source code view of the editor and rather rely on the WYSIWYG mode.

In addition, even though having different courses, the look and feel should be very similar throughout Moodle and should follow the corporate design. This requires that the courses are styled in the same way.

This plugin allows the administrators of moodle to define some more sophisticated HTML blocks with inline styling. These so defined blocks can be easily inserted by a teacher without the need to modify the HTML itself.
