Introduction
What is the general idea of 'Paged course formats'? - Will it be that you get to see the section name as a list, then if you wish to view it opens in a new tab within the browser?
Discussions around this
http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=175758#p770737
Some of the options currently around for alternative formats
Representing several different approaches.
FOLDERVIEW
Doed much more than just offer page view. Eiting magic as well.
- Folderview Blog post: http://thinkingdistance.org/post/6486856003/folderview-course-format
- Comments by Michael: http://server3.moodle.com/browse/MDL-27646 Including Folderview in Moodle 2
Paul's comment: "Paul Chapin added a comment - 07/Jun/11 3:20 AM : The folder view format doesn't really do it. Basically, that's just a topic format with a different interface. It doesn't deal with the situation of the instructor who wants to make a large amount of reference information, usually files and web links, available as part of a topic or week without visually overwhelming the students. By allowing for a hierarchical structuring of material using folders the amount of information the student is presented with at any given time can be limited and organized logically. It's really files and links that we want, but if that's implemented, adding the rest of the resource types should be fairly straight forward" MDL-27646
FLEXPAGE
Unsure of status for 2.
- Flexipage and Moodle 2.0: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=83817#p74318
COLLAPSED
Three forms: Topics, Weeks and Latest First
- http://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=format_topcoll - Same as Topic's format but with a 'toggle' and a cookie to remember state per user per course that can be persistent. Developed much further - see CONTRIB-3378 below.
- http://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=format_weekcoll - Same as Week's format but with a 'toggle' as above.
- https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-format_latfirst - Same as above but current week is displayed first and preceding weeks after for the user. In 'editing' mode it is the same as Collapsed Weeks.
Soon all to be combined into one:
Which now has four forms: Topics, Weeks, Latest Week First and Current Topic First.
Above collapsed forms developed by Gareth J Barnard.
BLOCK
Experimental jQuery Masonry (#http://masonry.desandro.com/) format for Moodle 2.1:
- https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-format_topmas - Uses the jQuery Masonry plugin to arrange sections as close together as possible. Resizes automatically depending on content.
GRID
Not strictly a "paged format" But getting very good reviews. Looks classy.
- http://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=format_grid Seems a good option
"The Grid Format was originally contributed by Paul Krix. It has since been updated and is now maintained ny Pukunui Technology. This format adds a more graphical interface to viewing Moodle topics and also avoids the "scroll of death" issue by using placeholder graphics to represent each topic. When clicked upon, these graphics launch the topics in ajax windows" from https://github.com/moodleman/moodle-courseformat_grid
COURSE MENU
There are at least two in plugins:
Plus Lei Zhang (and Awesome Moodle) bar
Catalyst have coded two options included in Moodle in Schools package.
