Moodle 4.0: Changing the Course Format

This article will walk you through how to change your Course Format. By default, the course format is set to a Weekly Format, which outlines your course according to how many weeks are in a semester starting with the first day of school, and ending with the last week according to the Registrar's calendar. 

There is alternative course format that you can choose called Topics Format. This type allows you to outline your course according to a series of topics.

3. From the Format drop down menu, choose Topics format. 

4. Press Save and Return to Course

Your course should now be set up as Topics Format.
