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.

Administrators can set a default (and optionally force) site-wide layouts for My Moodle(via Site administration > Appearance > Default My Moodle page).

The My Moodle page can be given more prominence when set as the main "home page" for users. Administrators can set the default home page for users to either the Site Home page, The My Moodle page or allow users to choose their preference (via Site administration > Appearance > Navigation).

My Moodle is one of the pages in Moodle that allow blocks to be placed in the middle column by default (this is a theme option).
