Moodle Teachers – Create nested Course section using the Flexible Sections Course format

Moodle LMS allows you to customize the learning experience for your learners by using different types of plugins. Moodle supports a wide variety of plugins which includes more than 2050 plugins in the official directory. In this post we will discuss about the Flexible Sections Course Format plugin and how you can use it in Moodle.

The Flexible Sections Course Format plugin allows you to create nested course sections which provides educators with more control and customization over the organization of their courses. Traditional Moodle courses are often structured linearly, with topics or weeks following a predetermined order. However, the Flexible Sections plugin breaks free from this rigidity by offering a dynamic way to arrange course content.

This course format looks very similar to Topics format except:

• sections can be added inside other sections
• each section (regardless of its nesting level) can be shown either on the same page as parent or on a separate page. Teacher can change it in edit mode.
• If section is displayed on a separate page, it’s name is displayed as a link and on this  page the link “Back to … ” is displayed
• If teacher hides a section all nested sections and activities become hidden as well.

You can download the latest version of the Flexible Sections course format plugin from the official plugins repository here.
