Moodle: Using iFrame to display content from any URL

iFrame is a HTML code implemented by most browsers that allows a section of the screeen (a "frame" or window) to display content from any other URL.

In moodle, it is a good way to display content such as:

• calendars from external sites such as google calendar, microsoft outlook web calendars, apple mobileme calendars etc.
• web pages with current content: e.g. weather
• content from elswhere on your network e.g. another moodle course, a page from another network loaction,
  
• content from specific iframe sites, such as google picasa web albums, youtube etc etc

To create an iframe, merely edit a moodle section header, a moodle label, a moodle web page or forum post, and select the HTML code display and paste:

<iframe src="http://digbys.blogspot.com/" width="800" height="600"> </iframe>

NOTE: Screen widths are often 1200 pixels wide so an iFrame up to 1000 pixels is often fine.

See an example here.
