About course templates and how to create, use, and manage them

Updated over a month ago

Course templates are maintained by site administrators and serve as reusable blueprints for creating new courses. A template can include activities, resources, blocks, and configuration settings. Templates ensure consistency and help course creators start with a predefined structure or even complete courses instead of building everything from scratch. All installed course formats are available as course templates by default.


How to create a template

There are two ways to create a new template.


How to apply a template

To apply a template, open a course and either enable the Kickstart course format or navigate to More > Kickstart using the course navigation bar. In the course template area, you'll see all available templates. Simply select the one you want to use.


Where to manage templates

In Site administration > Course formats > Kickstart format > Manage templates, site administrators can define and control which course templates are available to course creators.
