					<description><![CDATA[Thanks Gareth for this article.
Just wanted to complete some elements, relating to the origins of all of this (for people who don&#039;t know all of this):
- the activity type beeing displayed, it was &quot;in the start&quot;, but only since Moodle 4.0, never before!  
- there was lot of discussions against that, in Moodle&#039;s theme and UI forums. With explaination that when teacher use an activity with a &quot;particular&quot; use, indicating the type is nonsense (and even false relating to the use), as explained in the first comment of https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-75204
- then displayed only for teacher since 4.0.7, 4.1.2 (by https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-77219) and 4.2 (https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-74272)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.elearningworld.org/plugin-name/#comment-1653&quot;&gt;Stuart&lt;/a&gt;.

Ah, there’s a whole lot of discussion about this on the forums (I forget where) as some people love the name being there and others hate it! At the start it was there all the time, but now only when editing. Thus, I assume for new educators to quickly identify the modules. But once they have then there is no need for it to be there. Accessibility wise, regardless of the name, then the icon’s title / alternative (as appropriate) needs describing. I think that tooltips for icons are better as that means you can find out what the icon means if you actually want to. The ‘choice’ is being handed back to the learner rather than being preached to and cluttering up the output with duplicated information, i.e. the icon is already telling you the module type.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How interesting. I&#039;d never thought of the activity name being displayed - because isn&#039;t that what the icon itself is supposed to communicate?
I guess it&#039;s a bit like a tool bar in a desktop application - like a browser - where you have options to display icons, text, or both.
And I suppose there are examples where this could be effective in Moodle.
1. For people who aren&#039;t so visual, and would just prefer a word
2. When the icons themselves don&#039;t communicate clearly the activity type ... what looks like a &quot;Database&quot; to some people might just look like some lines and dots to others !
3. When third-party plugin icons haven&#039;t been well designed (they are not under HQ control)
I also think it could be useful for people who are new to Moodle - so they &quot;learn&quot; the Forum icon, because at first they see the word Forum next to it.
It&#039;s always good to re-evaluate some of the things we take for granted and seem quite basic from time to time :-)]]></description>
