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.

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. 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.

Here comes the most often used techniques you will operate on a page course format:

• Create a course in page format
• Create/add a new page
• Manage pages : Rename, duplicate, delete a page
• Organize pages
• Adding access rules to pages
• Adding a new activity
• Adding a block
• Reusing an already published activity (need patches)

Next come more accessory concerns;

• Turning pages into templates
• Making a new page from a template
• Comment pages
• Training individualization
