Theme and Appearance

Note that in this book I will be using the new Moodle 4.0 theme, as well as the MoodleCloud Classic theme. Moodle 4.0 has continued to enhance the user experience, which includes setting up Moodle. Here's a screenshot that uses the Moodle 4.0 Boost theme and shows the new 4.0 Dashboard, with the Timeline at the top, the "at a glance" calendar at the bottom, and Recently accessed items on the right:

Moodle provides very convenient standards, which makes it easy for you to create uniform courses that have an attractive appearance. They can be used for all types of delivery modes that have become popular in today's environment, with institutions often required to offer courses in synchronous, asynchronous, and "blended" delivery modes.
