A branded Moodle Workplace redesign for Metropolitan College

Written by Curio Group | Aug 10, 2026, 9:00:00 AM

The challenge

Metropolitan College wanted to improve how its Moodle environment looked and worked. Moodle Workplace is more constrained than open-source Moodle, so an attractive prototype would have little value if it depended on unsupported functionality.

The College needed a design that reflected its identity, worked within the platform and could be managed by its own team after handover.

The approach

Curio clarified Moodle Workplace's constraints early and adapted a theme foundation previously created for LSE rather than beginning from an empty system. The engagement moved through Align, Discover, Design, Develop and Handover.

Staff co-design workshops informed high-fidelity Figma prototypes before theme development and implementation.

What Curio delivered

  • Platform and requirement alignment
  • Co-design workshops with College staff
  • High-fidelity interface prototypes
  • A custom-branded Moodle Workplace theme
  • Adaptation of a proven Moodle design foundation
  • Staff training and documentation
  • Formal handover and warranty period

The result

Metropolitan College gained a branded Moodle Workplace environment built for production constraints, supported by the design artefacts and internal knowledge needed for continued operation.
