Administrators can create custom course themes to tailor the visual experience of bespoke content.
This functionality supports brand consistency, clearer navigation, and improved learner engagement by aligning the look and feel of content with organisational identity or specific learning initiatives.
For example, a compliance team creates a custom theme with company colours and icons to differentiate mandatory training from optional development modules. This helps learners quickly identify priority content.
