Moodle: Weekly Course Format

Summary

This article describes the Weekly course format in Moodle and how to configure it.

Body

This article applies to:

  • Carleton Faculty, Staff, or Students who are configuring a Moodle page.

Introduction

The Weekly Course Format in Moodle is the default for all new course pages.  It is configured for our 10-week term and the section titles are automatically calculated from the Course Start Date setting. 

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. 

    • If “show one section per page” is chosen, the course home page at first will show links to the sections and any text in the section summary. Once you have selected a section by clicking on its name, you will only see that section. You can move to the next or the previous section by respectively clicking the ▶︎ or ◀︎ icon followed by the section name.  Pictured below is a section from a course where the “show one section per page” option is chosen. 

    • If “show all sections on one page,” is selected, then the main page will display all the section titles. Click a section name to extend it. Below is an image of a course page where the “Show all section on one page is chosen.” The “Tests” section is extended. 

  5. Select one of the Save and display at the bottom of the page.
