Other important course plugin types

Moodle resource and activity plugins are an obvious type of teaching-related plugin. There are others that can have a big influence on teaching (again, it's worth taking a look at the Moodle plugins directory at https://moodle.org/plugins/ and checking out the Plugin type dropdown menu). In this section, we will pick on one obvious and two less obvious plugin types--but still two that are well worth taking a look at. We start with course blocks.
