Every Moodle course is divided into separate sections. Depending on the course format, the content is structured into topics, weeks.All Moodle courses have a General section at the top, which allows you to display a summary or general information about the course ( e.g. contact details for teaching staff, learning objectives… ).

Tip

The top section should remain as empty as possible, to avoid having to scroll to get to actual content. It is not the place to add welcome messages!

The remaining sections contain more specific content, resources and activities relating to the different weeks, topics or aspects of the course.
