How do I print from Moodle?

This refers to Moodle 4.3 from August 2024 onwards


Most pages in Moodle will print as successfully as any other web page, and usually you can print content without the surrounding Blocks.

With files within Moodle and in modules, you can also convert files using SensusAccess to create documents more suitable for printing such as PDF or Microsoft Office Word.
