Moodle Board is a collaborative activity that lets students post notes to share ideas and information.
The teacher creates columns (with optional titles), and students can add contributions to the columns. Students can rate posts if enabled. Posts are anonymous for students, so they don't see who has posted what. Staff can export information about contributions with student names in a file.

To add an image, drag an and drop it in the box).Bear in mind accessibility when choosing images or colours. The Nottingham Accessibility Practices provide guidance on choosing colours with adequate contrast between text and background and good practice when using images.
Choose whether you want posts to be rated. (You can allow students, teachers or everyone to rate posts).
You can hide column headers from students and choose how you want the post-it notes to be sorted, if you wish, by creation date or by rating.
You can limit students’ postings by date and allow all users to edit and move their own posts between columns or up and down within the same column.
It is recommended that the next two options are not enabled (Enable blank target, which opens any links in a new window – not recommended for accessibility) and Embed the board into the course page (which is not a very good experience for students)
