Extending Moodle Features¶
Moodle can be extended through configuration, plugins, themes, integrations, and custom development. This training focuses on configuration and awareness, not development.
Extension levels:
| Level | Example | Suitable For This Training? |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration | Enable activity settings, adjust course defaults | Yes |
| Theme settings | Change logo, colors, footer | Yes |
| Plugin installation | Install a supported plugin in staging | Introductory overview only |
| Integration setup | Connect SSO or email | Introductory overview only |
| Custom development | Build a custom plugin | No, developer training required |
Administrators should understand when a request can be handled by configuration and when it requires development or vendor support.
