Weekly Tabs
Weekly Tabs Course Format
Purpose
This is an optional course format for handling weeks in tabular style. the course view appears as a table with buttons captioned with numbers of weeks, and the first tab shows all avaliable blocks in this course. the second tab shows the course summary, and all other tabs show the course weeks.
Displaying courses in tabular links, also grouping all blocks and administration into one tab, sliding smoothly, very nice and simple and doesn't distract learners
