NMC instructors are required to include contact information in their Moodle course shells. The preferred method is through an HTML block, which when completed, will look like this:

To create an instructor information HTML block, first add an HTML block (https://teaching.nmc.edu/knowledgebase/adding-a-block-in-moodle/) to your course. Then, complete the following steps:

Step 1: From within your course, click the Course management button and then choose Turn editing on.

Step 2: Click the gear icon (Actions menu) in the upper right corner of the desired HTML block and click Configure (new HTML block) block.

Step 3: Add the desired contact text information to the block. Most instructors include their name, email address, phone number, and some biographical information.

Step 4: Add a picture to your block. To add a picture:

1. Click the Image icon
2. Click the Browse repositories… button and then Upload a file from the list on the left
3. Click Browse… to locate and select your file. Once you have, click the Upload this file button

Step 4: For this picture:

1. Type your first and last name into the Describe this image for someone who cannot see it box
2. Change the size (try 100×100 or something similar)
3. Choose the desired position using the Alignment drop down menu
4. Click the Save image button at the bottom

Step 5: When finished, click the Save changes button at the bottom. Your contact information block is complete!
