Add Text to Your Course Outline

Moodle Tip: Topic summaries and labels are good for short bits of text. If you want to add something longer, put it on a Page. This will keep the main Moodle page short and easy to navigate or scroll through.

3. This takes you to a text box where you can enter your text.
   
4. If you click the Toggle Toolbar button (1), the menu will expand and show more options for editing your text. Some of the other things you can do using the visible buttons are:
   1. (2) Add a link
   2. (3) Add a picture
