This page really needs improving. Please see the page comments for suggestions of what to include, then remove this template when you're done.


Template:Moodle site - basic structure My Moodle is a customizable "dashboard" page for providing users with links to their courses and activities within them, such as unread forum posts and upcoming assignments.

The My Moodle (or My home) page

The My Moodle page is available for all users via the Navigation block. This page displays the courses that a user is associated with and allows them to customise the page blocks to show information relevant for them.

Students see a list of assessment activities due for the paper along with the due date and an indication if they have submitted or not. Teachers see the assessment activities and the due date only.
