Header styling options

Personalize your course header with a selection of text and background colors or images, allowing for a cohesive and branded look that aligns with your educational institution or corporate identity.

Of course, you can also style the content of the header as you have all the options of an editor, such as integrating videos or images.

We have created several demo courses in the Designer format that you can explore.

Demo page

In this example, students see their campus as the header background.

This header has a background image that is color-coordinated with the background color in the section overview.

This full-size header comes with a custom background image that matches the video being displayed.

Of course, the same header also works well as a mobile introduction to the course.

The background of this header is black to create a strong contrast to the text and the flames.
