You can customise the following system settings:

General system settings

Language

Currently, you can switch between the system languages German and English. The selected language will be applied immediately after saving. All standard system dialogues and notes will be displayed in this language.

Course content is displayed in the language set by the author. If the content is multilingual, it will be displayed in the language you have selected as your system language.

Email notification

Select how often you want to receive email notifications for automatic system messages.

Character set for download

Here you can specify the file encoding that will be used by the table export function. This concerns the download of test, survey, and course results. The default encoding is UTF-8. You will need this encoding if your test and survey results contain Arabic characters.

Predefined export format

Determine one of the following formats:

  • Excel (.xls),
  • Excel 2007+ (.xlsx),
  • CSV file (.csv).
     

Content provided throughout the system will then be available for download in the selected file format.

Display preferences and accessibility

Font size

Choose between the following settings:

  • Very small: 75%
  • Small: 85%
  • Default: 100%
  • Large: 105%
  • Very large: 150%
  • Extra large: 200%
Select a design

Choose an alternative colour scheme from the existing examples. Your choice will affect all areas of the user interface. However, the individual course themes configured by an author will not be altered. To pick a theme, simply click on the button of your preferred colour scheme. Save your changes and close the dialogue to apply the selected theme.
