You can personalise your Moodle course page by adding a background image or banner. If your Moodle course page needs a bit of colour, add a background image to your page. The background image can depict a topic that illustrates your course theme or be the logo of the host organisation or related project. Besides adding an image, you can change the background colour of your course page.
What do I need?
You need a Moodle course page and a suitable image.
What do I need to do?
Set Edit mode on and click Change course’s background image button.
You can decide whether the image will be displayed in the banner on top of the screen (as in the image provided) or as a full page background image.
What should I take into account?
If you do not have a suitable image, you can search for one from Pixabay or elsewhere online. Always respect copyrights when you use photos available online!
