Moodle version 4.x has finally arrived and it’s packed with brand new UX features and improvements. To move forward with Moodle we have developed a new premium theme, Edutor, based on Moodle’s core theme Boost. Built on the ever-evolving Boost theme, our Edutor theme inherits all of the best UX and UI features from the Boost theme which makes it future proof and perfect for universities and corporate Moodle sites.
Edutor theme’s overall design is super modern and on-trend. It also contains a plethora of configurable settings and features which empower you to quickly convert your plain Moodle site into a professional-looking bespoke online learning platform.
Below are the main theme settings pages.
You can configure them via Site administration > Appearance > Themes > Edutor
