Moodle: Weekly Course Format

Introduction

The Weekly course format organizes course sections by date ranges (e.g., 12 September – 18 September). Instructors can customize section titles (for example, renaming 12 September – 18 September to Week 1).

Configuring the Weekly Course Format

1. Click the Settings tab at the top of the course page.

2. Scroll to and expand the Course Format section.

3. Open the drop-down menu next to Format, and select Weekly format. 

4. You have the option to either show all sections on one page or show only one section per page. 

   • Show one section per page

     • The course home page will first display links to each section with their summaries.

     • After selecting a section, only that section will be visible.

     • Use the ▶︎ Next and ◀︎ Previous links to move between sections. See the example image below.
