About

Kickstart adds a powerful course template engine to Moodle – create courses easily and produce high quality courses, consistently. You’ll never want to create a course without once you’ve tried it. Building courses based on templates makes the process of course creation easier and faster. All important settings are already pre set in the template.  Centrally managed templates ensure consistency, brand conformity and quality of your courses, without any additional effort.

The Pro version adds unlimited templates and simplifies importing content from other courses. Access to templates can be granted per cohort, category and role. This is especially useful for larger organizations that may have different course types on their site. At the same time, teachers save a lot of time because repetitive tasks like course configuration and layout are reduced significantly. Thus, teachers can focus on content and teaching.
