Design the course according to your preferences and needs. Designing an e-course means designing the course environment, adding necessary tools and materials to the course and determining the course settings. It is not possible to start designing an e-course in Moodle from scratch. You have to have a blank course created and your user account connected with it.\u00a0 Before designing a course you have to decide for whom and for what the course is necessary. Course design determines the general impression of the course \u2013 how it is structured, what tools are added, which blocks can be used. A good design helps to make a course more learner-friendly \u2013 in which learners can easily find their way and primarily be concerned with learning, not with technical issues. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t<span lang=\"EN-GB\"><span style=\"background:#eeeeee\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span><span style=\"color:#2a5188\">Different views and roles<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><br>\n<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:7.5pt\">\n\t<span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><span><span style=\"color:#565656\">You can have four roles in your course (in the top menu select your name \u2013 <i>Switch role<\/i>): <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t<span style=\"color:#565656\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span><i><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><span>A teacher<\/span><\/span><\/i><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><span> has all the rights in the course.
