Many settings that are made after the installation process affect the student and teacher experience in Moodle when they use the site. The focus of this chapter is on helping you create the user experience that you want by choosing the right settings. By configuring your site to enhance the user experience, you'll enhance their learning experience as well. In this chapter, you will learn how to configure your Moodle site. Specifically, we will learn how to set permissions, select default options, enable site administration, configure permissions, and enroll students.
