WP-Cumulus is a Wordpress plugin developed by Roy Tanck that allows you to display your site’s tags, categories or both using a Flash movie that rotates them in 3D. It works just like a regular tags cloud, but is more visually exciting.

Each Moodle course has its own calendar and the teacher can record events in the calendar.
When a teacher creates various activities (e.g. an assignment where students upload work), the deadline for that activity is automatically entered into the course calendar.
When a student logs on to Moodle, the calendar automatically merges every event recorded by every teacher in every course the student is enrolled in (and a teacher’s calendar does the same for all the courses taught).
Upcoming events in the calendar are also highlighted in the ‘Upcoming Events’ block.

You can modify the ‘blocks’ that appear on the left and right sides of your Moodle course/s (e.g. the calendar block).
You can move blocks up and down or left and right by clicking the arrow icons (or clicking and dragging for Ajax enabled interfaces).
You can hide blocks from students by clicking the eye icon.
You can remove blocks from the front page of your course/s by clicking the delete icon.
You can’t actually ‘delete’ a block; rather, it is simply returned to a blocks repository.
There are many blocks that you can add to your course simply by selecting them from the blocks repository that always appears (when editing is turned on) as the bottom block on the right side of your course.
