Interactive book usage

Add an Interactive book activity to a course the same way as any other Moodle activity. Once created, add chapters and sub-chapters to build the book structure.

Each chapter can contain one or more content items. When editing a chapter, use the Add content button to insert items of different types:

  • HTML text — standard Moodle HTML editor content
  • Unsafe raw HTML — raw HTML markup, restricted to users with the corresponding capability
  • Markdown text — GitHub Flavored Markdown, including relative file links for images and attachments
  • Solution disclosure button — hides content behind a button that learners expand on demand

The book displays a chapter navigation sidebar and a full-page table of contents overview. Learners can move between chapters using the navigation or return to the overview page at any time.

Content items within a chapter can be individually hidden from students without hiding the entire chapter, replacing the hidden chapters approach from the standard Book module.
