Blocks and Docks

Q. 

How do I hide, show, change, add, or dock a block?

A. 

Blocks can be docked in the new TLEARN. The dock location is theme dependent and allows blocks to be located in the left margin of the page. Note that block dock is user specific, just because a Teacher docks specific blocks does not mean the student in the course will have the same docs blocked.  You can change the layout and appearance of your TLEARN page following the steps below to dock, hide, or rearrange your a block.

Hide/Show

1. You can reduce a block to just its title bar by clicking the Hide Block button, which is the Minus-Sign icon. This action hides the area of the Block that contains its content. 

2. To restore a Block's content, click the Show Block button, which is the Plus-Sign icon.

Block Docking

1. You can reduce the size of your Blocks even further by using the Block Docking icon. In each block there is a docking icon in the upper right.

2. Clicking this icon will send the block to the Dock Area on the left, reducing it to a small horizontal tab showing only its name. Hover over the block to see the block contents.

Changing the Block Positioning

1. Turn Edit Mode ON in the upper right of the screen. 

2. You can change the position that a block occupies on the screen by clicking and dragging the block to a block position already being occupied. 

3. A four pointed cross w/ arrows icon will appear. Click and drag it to another blocks location. 

Add a Block:

1. Turn Edit Mode ON in the upper right of the screen. 

2. In the Add a Block block click the drop down menu to find the other available block.
