Sections

Why use them?

Every Moodle course is divided into separate sections.

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.
