Summary


In this chapter, we explored how to organize your course in terms of its structure, format, and appearance. We learned the best way to use Moodle's built-in course settings and elements to create a framework that can be consistent and flexible for all your courses. For example, you can develop a demo course and use it as a template or guide for future courses. We discussed the reasons for making certain decisions as we develop the framework and how to think about the best ways to make your course accessible for all your students.

In the next chapter, we will guide you through developing content and activities for your course. We'll take a close look at how best to match your course materials with the overall purpose of the course and how to do so in a way that is motivating and engaging to students and encourages students' success.
