The Collapsed Topics course format is a contributed code module. The format is similar to the standard [[Course_sections#Topics_format |Topics]] format except that all topics (except '0') can be 'toggled' on and off. This reduces clutter in courses that have a large number of topics, lots of content in the topics or a combination of the two.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
'''Setting the Toggle Text'''<br />
<br />
Tick off 'Use default section name' and type in the 'Section name' box. This allows the summary to be shown as it normally is in the Topics course format ([[Course_homepage#Topic_format_example]]).<br />

<br />
<br />
'''Toggle State'''<br />
<br />
When refreshing the page, the state of the 'toggles' is remembered. This is on a per browser session per course basis for as long as the browser remains open. If you would like it to persist longer, please follow the instructions in the included 'Readme.txt' file.<br />
<br />
== Changing the look ==<br />
<br />
=== Introduction ===<br />
<br />
Since versions 1.9.8.1, 2.0.5.1, 2.1.5.1, 2.2.3.1 and 2.3.3.1 for Moodle 1.9.14+, 2.0.5+, 2.1.2+, 2.2+ and 2.3dev+ respectively, which were released on the 5th March 2012 the format now incorporates a means of customising the 'elements' and 'structure' of the course within Moodle on a course by course basis. The 'elements' are such things as the 'Toggle' word showing / not showing. The 'structure' is the way the sections are presented, in effect the ability to switch to the 'Collapsed Weeks' format without installing another course format. Two other structures 'Latest Week First' and 'Current Topic First' have also been added.<br />
<br />
=== Demonstration ===<br />
<br />
For a demonstration of this enhancement, please see the 'Collapsed Topics course format new structure' video:<br />
<br />
<mediaplayer>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvo-OseVKr8</mediaplayer><br />
<br />
=== Structure descriptions ===<br />
<br />
* 'Topics' - Where each section is presented as a topic in section number order. This is identical to previous versions of the format.<br />
<br />
* 'Weeks' - Where each section is presented as a week in ascending week order. This is identical to the 'Collapsed Weeks' course format.<br />
<br />
* 'Latest Week First' - The same as 'Weeks' but the current week is shown at the top and preceding weeks in decending order are displayed below execpt in editing mode where the structure is the same as 'Weeks'.<br />
<br />
* 'Current Topic First' - The same as 'Topics' except that the current topic is shown at the top if it has been set.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Fine tuning the look ==<br />
<br />
'''Formatting'''<br />
<br />
Most of the formatting is contained within the file 'topics_collapsed.css' which is fully commented to facilitate easy manipulation of specific elements. For example, if you found that in your particular web browser the 'Topic ''x'' ' text was too big...<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image2.png|center|Topic text too big]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Then you can add an addtional 'font-size:0.6em;' to the 'tr.cps td.cps_centre' class.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image3.png|center|Changing the css]]<br />
<br />
'''Per Theme Changes'''<br />
<br />
You can set a different look globally or on a per theme basis by changing the following css in 'collapsed_topics.css'. Non-standard colours used to illustrate the point.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed_topics_image5.png|center|Per theme css]]<br />
<br />
If you want a per theme look for when you allow your users to choose their own theme, move the css shown and place in your theme's css files and change as desired.<br />
<br />
'''The Arrow'''<br />
<br />
If you want to change the look and style of the arrow, simply change 'arrow_down.png' and 'arrow_up.png'.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Courses}}<br />
A course format refers to the layout of a course. The course format can be selected in ''Settings > Course administration > Edit settings''.<br />
<br />
==Standard course formats==<br />
<br />
===Weekly format===<br />
[[Image:Weeklyoutline.png|thumb|Weekly format example]] The course is organized week by week, with a clear start date and a finish date. Moodle will create a section for each week of your course. You can add content, forums, quizzes, and so on in the section for each week. <br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' If you want all your students to work on the same materials at the same time, this would be a good format to choose.<br />
<br />
:''NOTE:'' Make sure your course start date is correct. If it is not your weeks will have the wrong date on it. This is especially important if you are restoring a course to use with a new section of students.<br />
<br />
===Topics format===<br />
[[Image:Topicoutline.png|thumb|Topic format example]]The course is organised into topic sections that a teacher can give titles to. Each topic section consists of activities, resources and labels.<br />
<br />
TIP: This is great to use if your course is objective based and each objective may take different amounts of time to complete. An example of this would be scaffolding where the students are building upon the knowledge from earlier topics.<br />
<br />
===Social format===<br />
[[Image:Socialformat.png|thumb|Social format example]] This format is oriented around one main [[Forum module|forum]], the social forum, which appears listed on the main page. It is useful for situations that are more free form. They may not even be courses. The [http://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=55 Moodle Lounge] is an example of a social format course.<br />
<br />
The social forum can be edited by clicking the 'Update this forum' button on the social forum page. The forum introduction is displayed at the top of the course page.<br />
<br />
===SCORM format===<br />
The SCORM format only has 1 section, and allows teacher to insert a pre-built SCORM package. Moodle can use SCORM packages as a content type (see [[SCORM module]]), or as a course format. <br />
<br />
Note: If you have a large SCORM object you want to use as an entire course, then you can select this course format and students will only be able to interact with the SCORM object, not the rest of the Moodle tools.<br />
<br />
==Contributed course formats==<br />
<br />
Se MDL-27646 and MDL-28555 and maybe the discussion http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=175758#p770737<br />
<br />
===Collapsed Topics and its sister format, Collapsed Weeks===<br />
These are formats that are essentially the same as the standard Topic ([[Course_sections#Topics_format]]) and Weekly ([[Course_sections#Weekly_format]]) formats but with a 'toggle' for each section except '0'. The toggles' purpose is to reduce the amount of initial information presented to the user thus reducing the 'scroll of death' that can plague courses with a lot of content. The 'state' of the toggles is remembered on a per course per user basis. Collapsed Weeks automatically opens the current week. For more information, please visit [[Collapsed_Topics_course_format]] and [[Collapsed_Weeks_course_format]].<br />

<hr />
<div>The Collapsed Topics course format is a contributed code module. The format is similar to the standard [[Course_sections#Topics_format |Topics]] format except that all topics (except '0') can be 'toggled' on and off. This reduces clutter in courses that have a large number of topics, lots of content in the topics or a combination of the two.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image1.png|center|Collapsed Topics format example]]<br />
<br />
== Download ==<br />
<br />
You can download the format from the [http://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=format_topcoll Modules and Plugins Database] or by going to [https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-format_topcoll GitHub] and cloning the repository alternatively by selecting one of the [https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-format_topcoll/tags downloads] for your version of Moodle if the database is unavailable. Full installation instructions are in the included 'Readme.txt' file.<br />
<br />
== Installing ==<br />
<br />
Please follow the instructions in the supplied 'Readme.txt' file and if desired, follow this video: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydFdES-pKYc 'Installing the Collapsed Topics Course Format']<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<br />
'''Selecting'''<br />
<br />
To select the format, simply choose it from the list of course formats in the [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Course_settings course settings]. To show / hide a topic just click on its toggle.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image4.png|thumb|center|Course Format]]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Setting the Toggle Text'''<br />
<br />
Tick off 'Use default section name' and type in the 'Section name' box. This allows the summary to be shown as it normally is in the Topics course format ([[Course_homepage#Topic_format_example]]).<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed_topics_image6_moo20.png|center|Summary description Moodle 2.2]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Toggle State'''<br />
<br />
When refreshing the page, the state of the 'toggles' is remembered. This is on a per browser session per course basis for as long as the browser remains open. If you would like it to persist longer, please follow the instructions in the included 'Readme.txt' file.<br />
<br />
== Changing the look ==<br />
<br />
'''Formatting'''<br />
<br />
Most of the formatting is contained within the file 'topics_collapsed.css' which is fully commented to facilitate easy manipulation of specific elements. For example, if you found that in your particular web browser the 'Topic ''x'' ' text was too big...<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image2.png|center|Topic text too big]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Then you can add an addtional 'font-size:0.6em;' to the 'tr.cps td.cps_centre' class.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image3.png|center|Changing the css]]<br />
<br />
'''Per Theme Changes'''<br />
<br />
You can set a different look globally or on a per theme basis by changing the following css in 'collapsed_topics.css'. Non-standard colours used to illustrate the point.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed_topics_image5.png|center|Per theme css]]<br />
<br />
If you want a per theme look for when you allow your users to choose their own theme, move the css shown and place in your theme's css files and change as desired.<br />
<br />
'''The Arrow'''<br />
<br />
If you want to change the look and style of the arrow, simply change 'arrow_down.png' and 'arrow_up.png'.<br />

<div>== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Since Moodle transitioned to [https://docs.moodle.org/dev/UTF-8_migration UTF-8] files now contain 16-bit characters to facilitate the use of multiple character sets. This gives rise to the facility of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark Byte Order Mark](BOM) which is used to signal the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness Endianness] of the file stream - e.g. the language php files.<br />
<br />
<br />
== The problem ==<br />
<br />
<br />
The inclusion of the BOM in language files can cause odd bytes to be sent to the client's browser from the web server. The bytes can appear before the prefixing '<DOCTYPE ....>' tag at the top of the html stream. This can have the effect on Internet Explorer of it ignoring the the 'DOCTYPE' tag and placing it into [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_mode 'Quirks'] mode which in turn causes the page to be rendered incorrectly.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Solution ==<br />
<br />
<br />
The solution is to ensure that all files you save that use extended characters beyond standard ANSI are saved in UTF-8 without the BOM. This can be achieved by '<code>grep -rl $'\xEF\xBB\xBF' . | xargs sed -i '1 s/^\xef\xbb\xbf//' {}</code>' - credit to [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1068650/using-awk-to-remove-the-byte-order-mark#answer-3622153 Using awk to remove the Byte-order mark] or in [http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ Notepad++]:<br />

<div>The Collapsed Topics course format is a contributed code module. The format is similar to the standard [[Course_sections#Topics_format |Topics]] format except that all topics (except '0') can be 'toggled' on and off. This reduces clutter in courses that have a large number of topics, lots of content in the topics or a combination of the two.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image1.png|center|Collapsed Topics format example]]<br />
<br />
== Download ==<br />
<br />
You can download the format from the [http://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=format_topcoll Modules and Plugins Database] or by going to [https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-format_topcoll GitHub] and cloning the repository alternatively by selecting one of the [https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-format_topcoll/tags downloads] for your version of Moodle if the database is unavailable. Full installation instructions are in the included 'Readme.txt' file.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<br />
'''Selecting'''<br />
<br />
To select the format, simply choose it from the list of course formats in the [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Course_settings course settings]. To show / hide a topic just click on its toggle.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image4.png|thumb|center|Course Format]]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Setting the Toggle Text'''<br />
<br />
The toggle text is set by editing the section description ([[Course_sections#Editing_sections]]). As shown below...<br />
<br />
For Moodle 1.8 and 1.9 just type in the editor box...<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed_topics_image6.png|center|Summary description Moodle 1.8 and 1.9]]<br />
<br />
<br />
For Moodle 2.0, tick off 'Use default section name' and type in the 'Section name' box. This allows the summary to be shown as it normally is in the Topics course format ([[Course_homepage#Topic_format_example]]).<br />
<br />

Most of the formatting is contained within the file 'topics_collapsed.css' which is fully commented to facilitate easy manipulation of specific elements. For example, if you found that in your particular web browser the 'Topic ''x'' ' text was too big...<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image2.png|center|Topic text too big]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Then you can add an addtional 'font-size:0.6em;' to the 'tr.cps td.cps_centre' class.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image3.png|center|Changing the css]]<br />
<br />
'''Per Theme Changes'''<br />
<br />
You can set a different look globally or on a per theme basis by changing the following css in 'collapsed_topics.css'. Non-standard colours used to illustrate the point.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed_topics_image5.png|center|Per theme css]]<br />
<br />
If you want a per theme look for when you allow your users to choose their own theme, move the css shown and place in your theme's css files and change as desired.<br />
<br />

<div>The Collapsed Topics course format is a contributed code module. The format is similar to the standard [[Course_sections#Topics_format |Topics]] format except that all topics (except '0') can be 'toggled' on and off. This reduces clutter in courses that have a large number of topics, lots of content in the topics or a combination of the two.<br />

<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image2.png|center|Topic text too big]]<br />

'''Toggle State'''<br />
<br />
When refreshing the page, the state of the 'toggles' is remembered. This is on a per browser session per course basis for as long as the browser remains open. If you would like it to persist longer, please follow the instructions in the included 'Readme.txt' file.<br />
<br />
== Changing the look ==<br />
<br />
'''Formatting'''<br />
<br />
Most of the formatting is contained within the file 'topics_collapsed.css' which is fully commented to facilitate easy manipulation of specific elements. For example, if you found that in your particular web browser the 'Topic ''x'' ' text was too big...<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image2.png|center|Topic text too big]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Then you can add an addtional 'font-size:0.6em;' to the 'tr.cps td.cps_centre' class.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image3.png|center|Changing the css]]<br />
<br />
'''Per Theme Changes'''<br />
<br />
You can set a different look globally or on a per theme basis by changing the following css in 'collapsed_topics.css'. Non-standard colours used to illustrate the point.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed_topics_image5.png|center|Per theme css]]<br />
<br />
If you want a per theme look for when you allow your users to choose their own theme, move the css shown and place in your theme's css files and change as desired.<br />
<br />
'''The Arrow'''<br />
<br />
If you want to change the look and style of the arrow, simply change 'arrow_down.png' and 'arrow_up.png'.<br />

The format is similar to the standard [[Course_sections#Topics_format |Topics]] format except that all topics (except '0') can be 'toggled' on and off. This reduces clutter in courses that have a large number of topics, lots of content in the topics or a combination of the two.<br />

<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image4.png|thumb|center|Course Format]]<br />

For Moodle 1.8 and 1.9 just type in the editor box...<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed_topics_image6.png|center|Summary description Moodle 1.8 and 1.9]]<br />

'''Formatting'''<br />
<br />
Most of the formatting is contained within the file 'topics_collapsed.css' which is fully commented to facilitate easy manipulation of specific elements. For example, if you found that in your particular web browser the 'Topic ''x'' ' text was too big...<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image2.png|center|Topic text too big]]<br />

<br />
Then you can add an addtional 'font-size:0.6em;' to the 'tr.cps td.cps_centre' class.<br />

<hr />
<div>The Collapsed Topics course format is a contributed code module. The format is similar to the standard [[Course_sections#Topics_format |Topics]] format except that all topics (except '0') can be 'toggled' on and off. This reduces clutter in courses that have a large number of topics, lots of content in the topics or a combination of the two.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image1.png|center|Collapsed Topics format example]]<br />
<br />
== Download ==<br />
<br />
You can download the format from the [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=2307 Modules and Plugins Database]. Full installation instructions are included in the install.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<br />
'''Selecting'''<br />
<br />
To select the format, simply choose it from the list of course formats in the [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Course_settings course settings]. To show / hide a topic just click on its toggle.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image4.png|thumb|center|Course Format]]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Setting the Toggle Text'''<br />
<br />
The toggle text is set by editing the section description ([[Course_sections#Editing_sections]]). As shown below...<br />
<br />
For Moodle 1.8 and 1.9 just type in the editor box...<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed_topics_image6.png|center|Summary description Moodle 1.8 and 1.9]]<br />
<br />
<br />
For Moodle 2.0, tick off 'Use default section name' and type in the 'Section name' box. This allows the summary to be shown as it normally is in the Topics course format ([[Course_homepage#Topic_format_example]]). {{Moodle 2.0}}<br />

<br />
== Changing the look ==<br />
<br />
'''Formatting'''<br />
<br />
Most of the formatting is contained within the file 'topics_collapsed.css' which is fully commented to facilitate easy manipulation of specific elements. For example, if you found that in your particular web browser the 'Topic ''x'' ' text was too big...<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image2.png|center|Topic text too big]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Then you can add an addtional 'font-size:0.6em;' to the 'tr.cps td.cps_centre' class.<br />

<br />
[[Image:Collapsed topics image3.png|center|Changing the css]]<br />
<br />
'''Per Theme Changes'''<br />
<br />
You can set a different look globally or on a per theme basis by changing the following css in 'collapsed_topics.css'. Non-standard colours used to illustrate the point.<br />
<br />

<br />
If you want a per theme look for when you allow your users to choose their own theme, move the css shown and place in your theme's css files and change as desired.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>A course format refers to the layout of a course. They can be changed by the course [[Course administration block]] under [[Course settings|settings]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Standard course formats==<br />
<br />
===Weekly format===<br />
[[Image:Course top weekly mu1.jpg|thumb|Weekly format example]] The course is organized week by week, with a clear start date and a finish date. Moodle will create a section for each week of your course. You can add content, forums, quizzes, and so on in the section for each week. <br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' If you want all your students to work on the same materials at the same time, this would be a good format to choose.<br />
<br />
===Topics format===<br />
The course is organised into topic sections. Each topic section consists of activities.<br />
<br />
===Social format===<br />
[[Image:Course top social mu1.jpg|thumb|Social format example]] This format is oriented around one main [[Forum module|forum]], the social forum, which appears listed on the main page. It is useful for situations that are more free form. They may not even be courses. The [http://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=55 Moodle Lounge] is an example of a social format course.<br />
<br />
The social forum can be edited by clicking the 'Update this forum' button on the social forum page. The forum introduction is displayed at the top of the course page (in Moodle 1.9.5 onwards).<br />
<br />
===LAMS course format===<br />
[[LAMS|The Learning Activity Management System]] is an open source LMS which allows teachers to use a flash based authoring environment for developing learning sequences. LAMS has been integrated with Moodle to allow teachers to develop LAMS activities within a Moodle course. This course format makes LAMS central to the course, only displaying the LAMS interface. <br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' If you are interested in using LAMS, check with your system administrator to see if they have installed and configured LAMS. Very few institutions use LAMS as it duplicates much of the Moodle functionality.<br />
<br />
===SCORM format===<br />
The [[SCORM/AICC module|Sharable Content Reference Model]] (SCORM) is a content packaging standard. SCORM packages are self-contained bundles of content and JavaScript activities, which can send data to Moodle about the students score and current location. Moodle can use SCORM packages as a content type (see [[SCORM/AICC module]]), or as a course format. <br />
<br />
:''TIP:'' If you have a large SCORM object you want to use as an entire course, then you can select this course format and students will only be able to interact with the SCORM object, not the rest of the Moodle tools.<br />
<br />
===Weekly format, CSS/no tables===<br />
The CSS / No Tables variant of the Weekly format displays the Weekly course format without using tables for layout. This improves the accessibility of the format, but older browsers have trouble displaying it correctly. This format is available in Moodle 1.6 onwards.<br />
<br />
==Contributed course formats==<br />
<br />
===Page format===<br />
Also known as Flexpage, this format is very similar to the Book resource format in a Moodle course. It consists of a theme, course format, and menu module which enables blocks and modules to be intermixed on a 3 column layout, provide tab based navigation through course content, inline display of resources and forums, etc. For more information on Flexpage, please visit [http://development.moodlerooms.com/course/view.php?id=34 this site] (You can self-register for this Moodle course.) This feature was developed by a Moodle partner [http://www.moodlerooms.com MoodleRooms]<br />
<br />
===Collapsed Topics and Weeks formats===<br />
<br />
Collapsed Topics and its sister format, Collapsed Weeks are formats that are essentially the same as the standard Topic ([[Course_sections#Topics_format]]) and Weekly ([[Course_sections#Weekly_format]]) formats but with a 'toggle' for each section except '0'. The toggles' purpose is to reduce the amount of initial information presented to the user thus reducing the 'scroll of death' that can plague courses with a lot of content. The 'state' of the toggles is remembered on a per course per user basis. Collapsed Weeks automatically opens the current week. There are versions available for Moodle 1.8, 1.9 and 2.0. For more information, please visit [[Collapsed_Topics_course_format]] and [[Collapsed_Weeks_course_format]].<br />
<br />
===Other contributed course formats===<br />
<br />
Other contributed course formats include [[Project Course Format]], [[Weekly Tabs]], Monthly Format (for Moodle 1.9), [[Development:Timeline course format|Timeline course format]] and the [[Shared activities course format]].<br />
<br />
An administrator wishing to remove installed formats may do so by removing the format plugin from the installation. That is: remove the directory containing the format for the ''moodle/course/format'' directory. You probably should not remove any of the default course formats, or formats that are in use on the site.<br />
