{|
|[[File:26editicons.png|250|thumb|Click the 'Actions' icon to reveal more editing options]]
|}
 
 
===Single activity course format===

{|
|[[File:coursecategorymanagement.png|250px|thumb|Managing categories (2 examples)]]
|
|[[File:coursemanagement.png|250px|thumb|Selecting and managing one course]]
