The dashboard

Moodle logo

 
 
The dashboard is your personal homepage in Moodle.


Your courses

Your dashboard contains links to all of the courses you are enrolled on in Moodle. This will include your academic modules, as well as supplementary courses, e.g. study skills.

Modules and other courses

Your courses will be available under Modules and other courses and are organised in tabs by academic year. Courses not assigned to an academic year are listed in the 'additional courses' tab.

Starred courses

You can make your favourite courses easier to find by adding them to Starred courses. To add a course, simply click the star icon to the right of the course name in Modules and other courses. To remove a course, click the star icon again.
