Make it your own

Object

Learn how to change the look and layout of your course

Notes

There are many ways to make your Moodle course your own. The demo here shows you how to move the page elements around and how to change your theme. You can also add custom elements, but those options are not covered in this introductory series.

Important

The drag-and-drop functionality demonstrated in the video is not available for Safari users. For this and other reasons, we recommend FireFox over Safari when working on Moodle.
