During the course creation process, you have the ability to determine its format. Specifically, you can choose a sections format as shown in the image below.

Choosing the Unit Format

By choosing to create a course in sections, the instructor achieves a segmented presentation of the educational material they're teaching. To create a new section, simply click the button with the cross, as shown in the image below.

Next, in the form that appears, you'll need to fill in the details for that specific section. Specifically, you should enter the section title and a brief description of it. You can also define the timeframe (from – to) during which this section will be visible to learners. If you don't specify a timeframe, the section will be visible immediately after its creation. Finally, select the “Submit” link to complete the process.

Filling in New Unit Details

Once you've created sections, you can edit them through a series of actions such as:

• Ordering (moving sections up or down)
• Editing (changing the title and description)
• Hiding (making the section invisible only to learners)
• Deleting

To perform one of the above actions, select the “arrows” link for ordering, and the “gear” link for the other actions.
