Adding Resources

1.3. Add a table into a Moodle book page

You can add an html table into a Moodle book page. Providing a table as an html table rather than an image of a table, which is not screen readable, is much more accessible for those who use screen reader software and is often better for everyone than an image of a table, which might not be very good definition.
Please note: it is good accessibility practice to add a caption to a table and to use the appropriate content tags for headings, paragraphs and lists within tables. This helps screen reader software.

Add a table:

1. Turn editing on
2. Switch to HTML view
3. Add the html code for a table in the position where you want the table to appear in your book page
