===== Dashboard ===== The dashboard in Moodle 4 provides users with a quick overview of important current information from their learning spaces. On the dashboard you can see //updates from Moodle Support// and the Center for Innovative Teaching as well as a //timeline// of your activities. \\ \\ The dashboard contains a number of **predefined blocks**. Some of these blocks are located in the middle of the page, others in the right-hand block bar, which you can hide if required (see [[learning-management-system:dashboard#i_elements_of_the_dashboard|I. Elements of the dashboard]]). \\ All users can **individually configure** the dashboard according to their wishes and move, remove or add blocks that provide additional information about the learning spaces (see [[lern-management-system:dashboard#ii_dashboard_konfigurieren|II. Dashboard konfigurieren]]). \\ \\ {{ :lern-management-system:11.png?600 |}} ==== I. Elemente des Dashboards ==== === Predefined blocks: === //**01.
