Poster

Poster is a resource activity module allowing to create a web page. What makes this module unique is that the contents of the poster page is composed of Moodle blocks (such as HTML block, Calendar block, Latest news block etc.). It provides yet another place within the course where blocks can be put without polluting the course front page.
Motivation
There are many useful blocks available for Moodle. Typically, they can be only added to the sides of the Moodle pages, or to the
user’s dashboard page (also known as My home page). Sometimes, you may want to keep your course main page quite clean, not cluttered
with blocks on both sides. In such case, you can put useful blocks into a separate Poster page.
The overall concept is somewhat similar to how pages are created in Mahara – but it is typically the teacher in Moodle who creates
the Poster for students to view.
Usage
To use the module, you should understand how Moodle sticky blocks work. See Block
settings page for more details.
Add the module instance into the course.
Keep the editing mode on.
Add the Moodle blocks you want to display on the poster.
Click the icon to configure the block. Set the block instance so that it is displayed in the context of the
poster, on page type Poster module main page ( mod-poster-view ), inside the region mod_poster-pre or mod_poster-post .
Alternatively, use the drag and drop feature to move the block to the regions at the poster content area.
Note that some blocks must be first added to the course main page first, configured to be displayed at any page and then
configured again to be displayed at the poster main page only (this is how block positioning works in Moodle generally).
The poster can be used as for example:
Course wall/dashboard (contact teachers, detailed outline of the course, latest news, comments, …).
