Course appearance

This page requires updating. Please do so and remove this template when finished.

A course's appearance is effected by its context and content. The site administration settings may force some appearance elements upon a course. In general, a teacher can make two courses look very different.

Teacher impacts

The course appearance template lists the general areas that teachers will use to change the way their course looks. demo.moodle.net has examples of course that look very different from one another.

Site administration impacts

The site may determine many default settings and may force other settings. Typically these settings can be found in the Settings > Site administration menu. For example the site may limit the use of themes in a course, or place a sticky block that will appear in every course's home page. Here is a list of potential places in the Site administration menu which have or contain sub-menus with settings that can impact what a user sees.
