Weekly Tabs

Weekly Tabs is an optional course format for handling weeks in a tabular style. The standard elements of a course are placed on tabs.

The first tab shows all available blocks in the course. The second tab shows the course summary. The remaining tabs will bring up the content for each week of the course.

The Weekly tabs course format was designed, contributed, and maintained by Amr Hourani.

Features

Summary tab - the top section in the course
Blocks tab - contains any blocks in the course
