The Text and Media Resource was previously called the Label resource in prior to Moodle 4.1.
This resource allows you to place content directly on the course page, as opposed to creating a link to takes users to another page. Text and Media can be used to help us format the course page, emphasize certain pieces of information, and (embed information not otherwise available in Moodle).
Adding a text and media resource is just like adding any other resource. They can be easily duplicated for a consistent look across weeks without needing to reenter the same data, images and formatting.
Enter your course and turn Edit mode on.
Scroll to where you want to add a Text and Media area resource.
Click the plus symbol to access the Add content drop-down menu.
NOTE: If you want to add between two existing activities or resources you will need to hover over the dashed line to have the Add content link appear.
Select Activity or resource option from the drop down.
Select Text and Media area from the Activity Chooser.
NOTE: If you can not find it, try clicking the Resources tab to filter your options.
Set up the basics under the General section:
Enter a Title in course index which is short and concise.
NOTE: If you leave this empty, a title will be automatically generated using the first part of the Text.
Enter and format your content into the Text box using the text editor.
Click the Save and return to course.
Review your text and media resource.
If you want to make changes, click on the Edit menu (three vertical dots) next to the text and media resource and select the Edit settings option.
