In HAMK’s Moodle, the default text editor is Atto, which offers good basic functionality for producing content. By default, the text editor offers the most commonly used functions for formatting text, bulleting, creating links, and adding media content.

The buttons are structured into groups according to their functions

By default, only the top row of buttons are visible. The arrangement of the buttons may also vary depending on the screen resolution. You can display the rest of the buttons by pressing the arrow button (1) that expands the toolbars.

Accessibility

• Use headings to ensure accessibility. Use Title (large) when you prepare the so-called headlines. Use a descending medium and small heading style called under the big headline. The visibility of the text improves and the text can be read better with a screen reader.
• Use the accessibility button to review and possibly fix accessibility issues.
