RWTHmoodle uses the course format "Topic Format" for the course page by default. In this course format, the course page is divided into course sections. All activities and materials are placed in these sections.

Managers can change the title, number, and various settings of the sections themselves.

1. Add Course Sections

If you want to add a course section:

1. Switch the course page to edit mode using the slider next to "Edit" at the top right.
2. Click on the link "Add topic" or "Add week" each under an existing theme, depending on the used course format.

2. Edit Course Sections

If you want to edit a course section:

1. Switch the course page into edit mode using the slider next to "Edit" at the top right. In each course section, an icon with three dots will appear on your right. Click on it to open the edit menu. 
   
   


2. In course rooms with the topic format, you will find these entries in that menu:

• Edit topic - Leads to settings of that section.
• Highlight - Highlights a section to indicate that that section is currently important.
• Duplicate - Creates a copy of the section with all contents.
• Hide topic - Makes the section invisible to students.
• Move - Opens a dialogue to let you select the new location of the section from a list of all course sections.
• Delete topic - Deletes the section including all content. This content cannot be restored.
• Permalink - Creates a link to the section of the course page.

For courses in the weekly format, the menu items are named accordingly "Edit week", "Hide week" and "Delete week" among others.

Additionally, you can restrict access to a course section (including all working materials and activities) or tie it to certain conditions by using the Restrict Access options in the section settings. These can be accessed by selecting "Edit topic" or "Edit week" from the section menu.
