A page in Moodle is built using the text editor. It can display text along with images, video, sound and web links. This resource is not intended for a large amount of content. For that, use the Book tool.

Access the Page Tool

1. In your course, turn editing on by clicking on the link in the Administration Block or using the drop-down menu connected to the gear icon.
   
2. Find the section to which you want to add content.
   
3. Click on the “+ Add an activity or resource” link. A menu will pop-up on your screen.
   
4. Scroll down to the Resources category and choose “Page” from the list of options.
   
5. Click on the “Add” button. This will take you to the Page Tool settings.
   

General Settings

1. Input the title of the page.
   
2. Adding a description is optional.
   

Add Content

1. The page content is everything the students will see when they access the page.
   
2. You can layout the page any way you like. If you want video content or images, you can embed them. Text can be copied and pasted or typed in the text box. You can make the page look like a simple web page or Word document.
   
3. Use the media buttons in the text editor to add:
   
   • Images
     
   • Audio or video files
     
   • Add a document file
     
   • Record an audio file
     
   • Record a video file
     
4. You can upload files stored on your computer or you can add images or videos using the URLs.
   

Appearance Settings

1. Display: You can choose to have the page as a pop-up window or you can just have it open when the link is activated. Choose the option that best suits your content. For example, if you have a page containing a short blurb or list, perhaps a pop-up display would work best. If you have a page containing a lot of text, then it would better to have the page open when the link is clicked.
   
2. If you choose to do a pop-up window, you can input the width and height of the window in pixels. Here are some predetermined measurements:
   
   1. Small Square: 2”x 2” = 600 x 600 pixels
      
   2. Small Horizontal Rectangle: 3” x 2” = 900 x 600 pixels
      
   3. Medium Square: 4” x 4” = 1200 x 1200 pixels
      
   4. Medium Horizontal Rectangle: 6” x 4” = 1800 x 1200 pixels
      
   5. Large Square: 6” x 6” = 1800 x 1800 pixels
      
   6. Large Horizontal Rectangle: 9” x 6” = 2700 x 1800 pixels
