START HERE -----> Finding your way around Moodle

As a teacher you have some control over the appearance and layout of your course. For example, (if your institution allows it) you can change the full name or short name of the course, the course image, and you can change the layout of the main learning area. The video and text underneath show you how to add and modify your course sections and course information.

Changes are made by clicking the gear top right and clicking Edit settings. This is where you can,  amongst other changes:

• change your course name and the colored course image (see video below)
• set start and end dates. These dates affect whether the course shows in the Future or Past sections of the dashboard course overview.
• set your course up in weekly sections or numbered topics (which you can rename.) 

You can always go back and change any settings if needed.

Here is how you add a course image to make your course stand out on Moodle:
