My home

My Moodle or My home is a customisable "dashboard" page for providing users with links to their courses and activities within them, such as unread forum posts and upcoming assignments. (The name 'My Moodle' was used in the admin menu in earlier versions of Moodle.)

The navigation block includes a My home link directly above or below the Site home link.

Site administration settings

Default home page

An administrator can set My home as the default home page for all logged-in users by selecting 'My Moodle' as default home page in Settings > Site administration > Appearance > Navigation.

If 'User preference' is selected as default home page, each user needs to navigate to either the 'Home Page' or the 'My home' page then via the Settings > My profile settings click the "Make this my default home page" link. Note that this option only appears on the page that is not their current default home page. Once selected, Moodle will remember which page to present them each time they log on.

Setting the default My Moodle page

An administrator can set which content (course overview, calendar, blocks) appears on the My Moodle page for all users as follows:

Access Settings > Site administration > Appearance > Default My Moodle page.
Select the required blocks from the "Add a block" drop-down menu. Configure each block as desired.
Reposition blocks using the arrow icons in the block headers.
