My Organizer:
Clean up and organize your Moodle courses
Stop wasting time searching through cluttered course lists. My Organizer gives you a cleaner, faster, more personal way to navigate Moodle as a browser extension, without changing your institution’s platform.
Why Moodle users need My Organizer?
Moodle often becomes harder to use over time. Current courses, and archived courses can all end up in the same environment, which creates friction, slows navigation, and makes it harder to stay organized.
My Organizer is built for that exact problem: it adds a browser-side organization layer so teachers and students can structure their Moodle space in a way that matches their real daily workflow rather than the default platform view
A cluttered Moodle course list isn't your fault
Moodle’s native course views can help filter or sort courses, but they still depend on Moodle’s own interface and configuration.
For many users, that means the same recurring frustration: too many courses in one place, too much scrolling, and not enough personal control over what matters right now.
My Organizer solves that by letting you build a clearer personal view of your Moodle courses with folders, renaming, tags, notes, reminders, and fast access from a side panel.
The problems we solve
Cognitive overload
When active and inactive courses are mixed together, finding the right one becomes slower and mentally tiring.
My Organizer helps you hide noise, group what matters, and keep your current working environment easy to scan.
Slow navigation
Reaching the right course often means repeating the same clicks through the Dashboard or My Courses page.
My Organizer gives you direct course access from a side panel designed for faster daily navigation.
Missing personal productivity tools
Moodle is not designed as a personal organization workspace, so users often lack simple tools like private notes and reminders tied to specific courses.
My Organizer adds those missing layers without requiring admin rights or server-side changes.
Multi-site confusion
Many teachers and trainers work across more than one Moodle site, which makes context switching slower and more error-prone.
My Organizer keeps each Moodle space distinct while still giving users one central place to manage them
Features: your Moodle, organized your way
One-Click course import
Getting started should not feel like setup work. My Organizer automatically detects Moodle course pages and lets you import or synchronize your courses from the Dashboard or My Courses page in one click.
Your structure is created instantly, so you can move from clutter to control without manually rebuilding your course list from scratch.
How it works:
- Visit a Moodle page that contains your course links.
- Click the My Organizer action button.
- Import or sync your courses in one click.
- Your personal workspace is created immediately.
- Start organizing right away.
This makes My Organizer easy to adopt, even for users who do not want to spend time learning a new system.
Hierarchical organization with drag-and-drop
Once your courses are imported, My Organizer helps you build a structure that matches your own way of thinking, not the way your institution labels or displays courses.
You can:
- Create folders to group courses by semester, department, subject, priority, or teaching context.
- Drag and drop courses and folders to change their order at any time.
- Collapse and expand folders to focus only on what matters now.
- Build as many levels as you need for a clean and scalable organization system.
Instead of adapting to a rigid Moodle overview, you create a personal structure that stays readable as your course list grows.
Smart search and filtering
Organization is useful only if it helps you find things faster. My Organizer includes built-in search and filtering tools directly in the side panel, so you can stop scrolling through long course lists and go straight to the course you need.
You can filter your view with:
- Instant text search, using either the original Moodle name or your custom course name.
- Tag filters, to display only courses linked to a specific priority such as “To Do” or “Urgent”.
- Site or context filters, which are especially useful when working across multiple Moodle platforms.
The result is simple: even with dozens of courses, you can find the right one in seconds and reduce the daily friction of Moodle navigation.
Visual customization
A course list becomes easier to use when it becomes easier to read.
My Organizer lets you personalize the visual layer of your Moodle workspace so that important courses stand out immediately.
Colors
Help create instant visual landmarks for folders and courses. You can use them by subject, urgency, semester, or any logic that helps you scan your workspace faster.
Renaming
Lets you replace long or cryptic institutional course titles with labels that are actually meaningful to you. Your original Moodle course stays unchanged; only your personal display name is modified.
Tags
It add another layer of organization. You can use ready-made tags such as “To Do,” “Important,” or “To Update,” and create your own custom tags with your own labels and colors.
These features work especially well together. For example, a user can group courses in folders, rename them for readability, color-code them for quick visual recognition, and use tags to track short-term priorities across multiple folders.
Integrated productivity
My Organizer does more than organize course lists. It also helps users keep track of what needs to happen next.
Private notes
Can be attached to any course, making it easy to save reminders, teaching ideas, grading notes, or task-specific information in the exact place where it matters.
Reminders and notifications
Turn My Organizer into a lightweight workflow tool. You can schedule alerts linked to a specific course and receive them through Chrome notifications, even when Moodle is closed. Clicking a notification takes you back to the relevant course directly, which saves time and reduces the risk of missing a deadline.
Multi-language support
Makes the extension easier to adopt across different user contexts. The interface already supports English, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese, and can adapt automatically to the browser language, making the experience more natural for international users.
Together, these features extend My Organizer beyond navigation: they help turn Moodle into a more manageable daily workspace.
Best practices to organize your Moodle courses
My Organizer makes a few simple habits possible in a way Moodle alone does not.
- Separate active courses from past ones at the start of every term with folders in the side panel.
- Use a consistent color code by subject, priority, or urgency.
- Rename courses with clear, readable titles instead of relying on institutional codes.
- Use priority tags instead of relying only on chronological order.
- Set reminders for recurring deadlines so nothing slips through the cracks.
How teachers use My Organizer
Marc: From cluttered to daily clarity
Marc teaches five active Moodle courses, but his dashboard still shows many archived courses from previous years, all mixed into the same list.
Instead of scrolling through clutter every day, he imports his courses in one click, creates two folders named “This Year” and “Archives,” and renames unclear course titles so the courses he actually uses are visible immediately.
He now opens the right course from the side panel in one click and adds a reminder when an important grading task is coming up, which turns a messy dashboard into a simple working routine.
Priya: Making course codes readable
Priya teaches two economics tutorial groups and works with institutional course names that are too long and too technical to recognize at a glance.
With My Organizer, she imports her courses, renames each one with a short human-readable label, adds a color for each group, and places everything in a semester folder that reflects how she actually works rather than how the institution labels courses.
In a few minutes, her Moodle space becomes easier to scan, easier to navigate, and much less mentally tiring to use every day.
James: Keping grading deadlines under control
James manages several active courses during finals week and needs a reliable way to track what is graded, what remains to do, and when final grades must be submitted.
He adds a short private note to each course, then schedules reminders tied to the right Moodle space so Chrome alerts him at the right moment, even when Moodle is closed.
When a notification appears, he can go straight back to the relevant course without searching again, which reduces stress and lowers the risk of missing an administrative deadline.
Amira: Working across two Moodle platforms
Amira teaches in two different institutions and has to work across two separate Moodle environments every week.
My Organizer detects each platform as its own context, keeps them clearly separated, and gives her one-click access to the right courses from a single side panel instead of forcing her to rebuild her bearings every session.
The result is a calmer workflow, faster switching between institutions, and less confusion when teaching in multiple environments.
How student use My Organizer
Sofia: Cleaning up a crowded course overview
Sofia starts a new academic year with a Moodle dashboard filled with both current and old courses, which makes it harder to find what matters now.
She imports all courses at once, creates one folder for active courses and another for archives, renames unclear course titles, uses a strong color to highlight a difficult subject, and adds a reminder when an assignment deadline is announced.
Instead of adapting to Moodle’s clutter, she creates a personal course view that helps her focus on her current semester.
Kai: Focusing on exam priorities
Kai is preparing for end-of-semester exams across several active courses and needs to see only his real priorities.
He applies tags such as “To Do” and “Summary Missing,” then filters the side panel so only the courses linked to his current revision tasks remain visible.
This gives him a simple visual way to track progress and keep attention on what still needs to be done, without getting distracted by the rest of his Moodle space.

Frequently Asked Questions about organizing Moodle
Do I need administrator rights to use My Organizer?
No. My Organizer is a browser extension, so teachers and students can install and use it without asking their institution to change anything. It works independently of the Moodle installation and does not require admin access.
Will My Organizer modify my Moodle courses?
No. My Organizer adds a personal organizational layer on top of Moodle without changing course content, structure, or platform settings. Your institution’s Moodle site remains unchanged.
Will my institution see my personal notes and organization?
No. Your folders, tags, notes, and reminders stay local to your device and are not visible to your institution. The extension is designed as a private browser-side layer.
Can I use My Organizer with multiple Moodle sites?
Yes. My Organizer detects multiple Moodle installations and keeps each one in a separate context inside the side panel. This is useful if you work across different institutions, training programs, or personal learning spaces.
How can I find an old course in a cluttered Moodle dashboard?
Moodle can hide or star courses, but those settings are easy to lose track of over time. My Organizer keeps a permanent, searchable list of the courses you import, so you can find one quickly by typing a few letters.
How do I stop losing track of Moodle deadlines?
Moodle notifications depend on how your institution configured the platform, so they are not always enough for daily work. My Organizer lets you set reminders per course and receive them directly in Chrome, independent of Moodle’s native settings.
Does My Organizer work offline?
The organizational interface works offline, but opening a course still requires an internet connection to access Moodle itself. This matches normal Moodle usage.
What happens if I change computers?
Your organization is stored locally on each device. You can export your folders, notes, colors, and tags as a JSON file and import them on another computer.
How do I uninstall My Organizer?
Right-click the extension icon and choose “Remove from Chrome”. Your local data is deleted automatically, and your Moodle courses remain unchanged.
Is My Organizer compatible with mobile devices?
No. My Organizer is designed for desktop browsers, not mobile use. Mobile browser extensions have limited functionality, so the extension is intended for Chrome-based desktop or laptop browsers only.
