Overview of my courses

Moodle 1.6 and onwards includes My Moodle, a dashboard for teachers and pupils to customise their Moodle homepage.

Quoting Julian Ridden: "The MyMoodle page allows for a customisable homepage for students to be set up.

The "Customizable" element comes from students being allowed to setup the page with Blocks that they would like to use. Blocks can be locked in as immovable and also can be hidden from students if needed to prevent them from being used."

The page also shows updates that have occured in courses that the student is enrolled in.

The My Moodle page allows the user to add and customise certain blocks, with the user's courses appearing as a list of sections and show recent activity.

Enabling My Moodle

• Set mymoodleredirect to 'Yes' in the miscellaneous section of Administration >> Configuration >> Variables

Block availability

Blocks may be configured to be available in My Moodle by using similar code as below:

   function applicable_formats() {
       return array('all' => true, 'my' => true);
   }
