'Card' view and 'Summary' view display the module overview image for each module. As an editing teacher you can choose an overview image for each of your modules. These are a great way to strengthen a module’s identity. You could also decide on a visual theme for all modules in a programme so that students can easily recognise related modules on their dashboard.

A module overview image is the image that appears on the Moodle dashboard and in My Modules in Card and Summary view.
