====== Page format : User Guide ===== ====Presentation==== The **page course format** allows designing clear courses, with well organized material and neat editorial reading path, while keeping learner's mental load as little as possible, and directly focussed to its learning content. The **page format** is designed to allow different approaches of the course structure. You will either want to design very linear courses, with a simple stepped progression, or organize the course in several structure levels, thus adopting a tree design with a forced exploration path. Alternatively, you may want to provide a complete "free to use" organized material. ===Common starting point==== At start, a page format course may appear a bit... empty. By the way, we designed the course to setup at least two pages when the course is created: * A Home page, equiped with a page traker block. * If you have installed f.e. [[mod:customlabel|Custom Label]] plugin on your moodle, the home page may have a default "Course Caption" element at top of the content. * An administration page, where we put an administration block to access most of the course administration features. //Note: note here that the starting tremplate of a newly created course can be tuned by an administrator.// ===General operations=== Here comes the most often used techniques you will operate on a page course format: * [[:format:page:createcourse|Create a course in page format]] * [[:format:page:createpage|Create/add a new page]] * [[:format:page:pageoperations|Manage pages : Rename, duplicate, delete a page]] * [[:format:page:reorganizepages|Organize pages]] * [[:format:page:availability|Adding access rules to pages]] * [[:format:page:addingactivity|Adding a new activity]] * [[:format:page:addingblock|Adding a block]] * [[:format:page:reusingactivity|Reusing an already published activity]] (need patches) Next come more accessory concerns; * [[:format:page:pagetemplates|Turning pages into templates]] * [[:format:page:pagefromtemplate|Making a new page from a template]] * [[:format:page:activityoverride|Overriding a page by an activity instance]] * [[:format:page:commentpage|Comment pages]] * [[:format:page:individualization|Training individualization]] ==== Credits ==== * Valery Fremaux dev@activeprolearn.com : Design and coding * Florence Labord florence@activeprolearn.com : Documentation & illustrations [[format:page|Back to Format Page index]] - [[:start|Back to catalog's home]]
