The Countdown block allows a teacher to build anticipation towards an event or some point in time. The block displays a countdown in a number of simple formats, making use of a Flash animation.
Note
There is an assumption that students will have the Flash plug-in installed in their browser; while this is quite likely, the block should not be relied upon to convey critical information.
The block needs to be downloaded from the author's site.
Copy the countdown
directory from the zip file into the /moodle/blocks/
directory. There are a number of FLA files at the root of the same zip
file that do not need to be copied.
Visit the Notifications page to install the block.
