Moodle allows you to customize your course settings including the look and layout as well as the different features and functions. Be sure to customize your course settings before inviting students into your course, in order to ensure that the course is easy for students to navigate.
- [Oliver] In this video, let's take a look … at how we can adjust some of our course settings. … Right now I'm inside of my Biology 101 course, … and in the upper right corner, … I want to click on the gear icon. … From here, we have several options, … we can edit our settings, access filters, … gradebook setup, outcomes, and more. … At the top, I'm going to click on Edit settings. … And this brings us to our course settings page. … If I scroll down, you'll see here that there are many things … we can adjust, including the course full name, … short name, the category, its visibility, … and this is a page that really represents … a great example of how you can use Moodle's inline help. … So if there's some of these things … that you're not quite sure what they mean, … you can click on that circle icon … with the question mark inside. … For instance, for Course visibility, … it's telling me here it determines … whether the course appears in the list of courses … and whether students can access it. …
