General help

My CSS customization for Boost or on this web page. These are my preferences that may not appeal to others, but I thought that I would share them with you.

 

I am not saying that custom themes are bad, and theme developers do some great work.  This is simply my own preference.

 

You might want to try Boost until you know what it cannot do.

Hi

That is an impossible question to answer. The query earlier brings 16 Themes for Moodle 4.3. I haven't seen them all. Even if I did, the choice depends on the type and level of the visitors and my personal taste. That is why you need to make an initial choice from the preview images, install them and then evaluate.

Moodle plug-ins in general is even worse. There are over 2000 plug-ins in the database! As you can imagine they do a vast variety of things. What can't you add them as you go on? Maybe, you've ordered a managed Moodle and have to send them your selection of additional plug-ins. Don't forget, Moodle in its basis has a plug-in architecture. So when you install the "standard" (core) Moodle, you have a couple of hundred (core) plug-ins. Instead of studying the plug-ins and trying to draw the line between what Moodle can do and can not do, start with what is there - Resources and Activities are its basic building blocks. There are plenty of resources in the Net, and free courses on the Moodle Academy.

Talking of managed Moodle, it reminds me that the Moodle Cloud has a set of additional plug-ins installed. That could be taken as a sign of their popularity.

Learning to use Moodle will make your life and students' lives easier. On the web page I provided above, I have a link to a video I provide students about setting up my Moodle (Moodle 4 Overview). There is an organization called Quality Matters that also has some standards (rubrics) about how to set up a good quality course.
