Standard course formats

Template:Creating a course Settings > Course administration > Edit settings > Format

Please refer to the notes here under Creating a course before editing this page.

Course formats effect the course area (context) that contain sections or topics. A teacher can select 1 of 4 standard types by changing the "Format" field on the Edit course settings page.

• SCROM format
• Social format - Only has 1 section and only allows for Forum discussion activities in that section.
• Topics format - (Default in a standard Moodle) Creates sections that a teacher may label. Works with "Number of weeks/topics.
• Weekly format - Creates sections with initial section labels that span 7 days. Works with "Number of weeks/topics" and "Course start date"

Visual examples of course formats

Need to add thumb size images as examples of each.
