What is Course Settings in Moodle?

In Moodle, Course Settings is the area where instructors or administrators can adjust the general parameters of a course. This section allows you to customize how the course appears and functions for students.

Here you can view a video that provides additional information on this topic. Please note that the interface shown in the video may look slightly different from what you currently see in Moodle due to a recent update.

If you have any questions or cannot find something in your current Moodle interface, please contact us at moodlesupport@tru.ca. We are here to help.
