This course template offers a uniform basic structure with central areas for orientation, communication & support, learning content, exam information, FAQ and feedback. In addition to customizable template modules for recurring elements such as learning outcomes and semester plans, it contains numerous preconfigured Moodle activities that serve as suggestions for designing the learning space. The prepared elements can be adopted, adjusted or removed if necessary. It is therefore particularly suitable for teachers who, in addition to a given structure, also want to rely on previously prepared implementation suggestions.

This course template uses the topic section course format, in which all sections and subsections are arranged one below the other. The individual sections can be collapsed and expanded so that only the relevant content is displayed if necessary. However, in very large learning spaces, the scrolling effort can increase, especially if several sections are expanded at the same time.

Alternatively, if you prefer a presentation where each course section is displayed on its own page, the Advanced Course Template is available in a single-topic format. The structure and prepared elements are identical in both course formats; they only differ in the presentation and navigation of the course areas. In the single-topic format, each section is accessed via its own tab. This allows students to switch directly between the individual course areas without having to scroll through the entire course page.

If, on the other hand, you do without preconfigured Moodle activities and would like to largely design your learning space yourself based on the given structure, the basic course template is available to you. This is available in both topic section and single topic formats.

Special features of the Advanced Course Template in the Topic Sections course format:

• Basic structure with seven central course sections that are visible to students
• Display of all sections and subsections on one course page
• Central, customizable navigation overview with direct links to course sections, subsections and selected activities
• Breakdown of the learning content into individual learning units
• Editable template modules for learning outcomes and semester plan
• Numerous preconfigured Moodle activities as exemplary implementation suggestions
• Example of a pre-structured first learning unit as a suggestion for the design of further learning units
   

Recommended for:

• Teachers who, in addition to a given basic structure, would like to use already prepared Moodle activities and implementation suggestions
• Learning spaces in which the course areas are to be displayed one below the other on a common course page
• Teachers who want to get to know different options for conveying content and activating learning and adapt them for their own learning space
• Lecturers who would like to flexibly adapt prepared elements to their own course
