Default Page for Course Overview

Default Page for Course Overview

When I log on as a student and look at the dashboard, there is a "Course Overview" block (containing two tabs for "Timeline" and "Courses") then down the right hand side (or at the bottom if your screen is narrow) there are a number of other blocks - see screenshot.

I can customize this view and delete all the blocks on the right hand side by clicking on the "Customise this page" button at the top right of the screen.

When in that mode there is also a button entitled "Reset page to default".

My question is, how/where do I edit the default page so that I don't have to individually edit each student logon to have the blocks I want shown?

I am using Moodle 3.3 through the MoodleCloud.

Cheers,
Morag

Hello. Please see the documentation Dashboard and the section called Setting the default Dashboard.

Thanks Mary,

It's so obvious now that I know where it is! Helps to know what it is called of course so you know what to search on.

Your prompt answer is very much appreciated.

Cheers,
