Admin quick guide

This page is an introduction to Moodle administration. You have a new, empty Moodle site installed. What to do next?

Setting up the front page

• In the Administration block, click 'Edit settings'
• Change the fullname and shortname if needed. (The shortname shows in the navigation bar.)
• Decide how you want courses and news to be displayed for logged in and non-logged in users. This can always be changed later. You can choose to display none of this information.
• Note that any information added to the Front page summary will only show in a side block.
• To add images and content to the central area, click 'Turn editing on' in the Administration block and then click the configuration icon near the top of the screen. Use the Text editor to add content.
• For more information, see the documentation Front page settings.
• Note: If you don't want to use your front page for displaying courses or information about your organisation, then you can display the log in page only by checking "force login" in Site administration>Security>Site policies.
