Moodle Tips – Make Moodle easier for new teachers using Site Admin Presets feature

-

Moodle 4.0 brought a whole plethora of new features which make it most exciting Moodle version ever. One such feature in Moodle 4.0 is Site Admin Presets feature. The new feature is included into the Moodle core inspiring from the Site Admin presets plugin.

The Site Admin Presets feature allows you to improve the user experience for educators and learners on your Moodle site. Moodle contains a whole lot of tools and features which can be sometimes difficult to understand from the teachers & learners who are using Moodle for the first time. This feature helps Moodle administrators streamline the experience for teachers and learners by offering them customised LMS settings to support their needs.

Site Admin Presets helps you to keep things simple and remove anything their users don’t need. You can enable only the required features on your Moodle and turn off the ones which are not required. Moodle 4.0 comes with 2 default presets which allows you to use Starter & Full preset.

The starter preset, has Moodle’s most popular features, including assignment, feedback, forum, H5P, quiz and completion tracking. On the other hand, full preset includes features that only more advanced users might be utilising, such as external tool (LTI), SCORM, workshop, analytics, badges, competencies or learning plans.

In addition you can also create new presets specifically picking the features based on your learning environment requirements. You can also import & export the presets to use on other Moodle platforms. This makes it easy to replicate a specific configuration from one site to another and ensures that the experience that administrators provide to teachers and learners is consistent.

How to use the Site Admin Presets in Moodle 4.0

  • Go to your Moodle 4.0 site as an admin and navigate to Admin presets under Site Administration > General > Admin Presets
  • Change the default preset to ‘Starter’ and go back to see the changes on your course page. For example, you will see less activities while adding a new activity in the course as shown below:

    This new feature can be utilized by the Moodle site administrators to make the interface clear and concise for the teachers & students.
