Course Format in Topics
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.
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. You are also given the option to specify which course users will be assigned this specific section through the “Assign to” option. It should be emphasized that by “assignment,” we mean which users will have access to this specific section. Thus, the assignment options are:
- To all students of the course
- To specific students of the course
- To specific user groups
Finally, select the “Submit” link to complete the process. 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.
