- Let's continue our tour of this sample course I've set up,…so I can tell you about the text editor.…While you can upload almost any type…of file to your Moodle course,…you can also use a text editor…to add blocks of text, almost anywhere.…For example, on your course homepage,…you can add text passages called labels.…For every activity and resource you create,…there's a description field where you can put instructions…or information for your students.…In this video we'll focus on using Moodle's text editor,…sometimes called the HTML text editor.…
In fact, there are two popular text editors for Moodle,…TinyMCE and ATTO.…ATTO was built specifically for Moodle,…but you can see that 80% of the buttons…between the two text editors are the same.…I'll describe the ATTO text editor in this video,…but you can actually try them both yourself.…In the preferences area of your profile,…you can pick the editor you want to use at any time.…Let's go take a look.…Remember from the last video,…to edit your profile,…go up to your name in the top right corner.…
