About

The Avatar plugin brings a new dimension of personalization and learner engagement to Moodle™. Admins can design customizable avatars with several progression states, embed them into course activities, and visually track learner development over time.

With rich configuration options, platform-wide visibility settings, and automated assignment tools, avatars become more than just characters — they represent identity, motivation, and achievement across the entire platform.

Use Cases

• Create learner identities with evolving avatar profiles and secret content
• Gamify progression using avatar stages that unlock over time
• Customize course activities with role-based avatar selection and availability rules
• Strengthen community and branding through avatars in profile images or dashboards
• Track engagement via built-in reports and manual avatar management
• … and many more
