Moodle course format

Moodle course pages can be organized either by week or by topic. Choose your preferred format when filling out the Moodle course request form. You can also change your course format later by selecting your course settings in Moodle and editing the Course format section

Weekly format

Most faculty at ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï use the weekly format for their Moodle course pages. Students may find the weekly format easier to navigate.

• When using a weekly format, Moodle automatically highlights the current week. It is therefore necessary to retain break weeks in Moodle so that the highlighting is correct.
• You can rename each weekly section without affecting highlighting.
• Add another week by scrolling down to the last section and selecting Add week.

• If you would like to use a weekly format but want additional sections of your page for other materials, let us know by emailing moodle@reed.edu. We can help set up your page in a way that works for you.

Topics format

The topics format can be a good choice for classes with a modular structure or if faculty want to organize their page by course topic.

• We suggest organizing your page with more topics with fewer resources under each to help students navigate the page.
• When requesting a Moodle course page with a topics format, let us know how many topic sections you would like. You may add another topic anywhere on the page clicking Add topic at the bottom of each topic.

• When using the topics format, you can manually highlight the current topic. In edit mode, click on the triple dot icon to the right of the topic name and choose "highlight" from the list of options.
