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 | Paul's comment: "Paul Chapin added a comment - 07/Jun/11 3:20 AM : The folder view format doesn't really do it.

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? I now have extensive course format development skills (and I hope enough Git knowledge) - can I help with writing the code for Moodle core? I'm Gareth J Barnard - developer of the Collapsed Topics / Weeks course formats.
