NOTE: Depending on administrator settings, these features may not be available.

You can customize a course by changing the following:

• Appearance of the course menu which is the primary navigation feature. The course menu contains Course Tools and role-specific tools.
   
• Text and background colors throughout the course or only for the Course Content tool.
   
• Icon styles in the Course Content tool.
   
• Page layout in the Course Content tool.
   
• Headers and footers in the Course Content tool.

Similar to using visual aids in a classroom course, you can use these customization features to add emphasis and interest, and to make the course look more consistent.

Features for customizing a course are in the Manage Course area and in the Course Content tool.
