Summary
In order to allow easier personalisation of courses in Moodle we have installed a new course format which allows the use of a banner image (an image that displays across the top of your course) and an automatic navigation drawer. The format also gives you the freedom to pick if you want to use the banner image.
Features of the Custom Sections course format:
- Automatic navigation bar (Course index)
- Sub sections
- Bulk Editing
- Accessible navigation
Changing Course Formats
- Login to Moodle and open to your course.
- Select Settings – at the very top just below the name of your course.
- Expand the Course Format section and select the Custom Sections format from the Format drop-down menu.
- Click Save and Display at the bottom of the page.
Adding a Banner Image
- Login to Moodle and open to your course.
- Select Settings – at the very top just below the name of your course.
- Upload an image to your Course Summary files area – this image is best sized 1200px wide by 800px high. This image can be cropped to the centre portion on some screens.
- Expand the Course Format section and make sure Custom Sections format is selected for your Format – if it isn’t switch it.
- Click Save and Display at the bottom of the page.
