Moodle courses are clearly structured and designed in time

To allow easy navigation (with as few clicks as possible) and facilitate understanding of the sequence of course contents as well as course obligations, Moodle courses are clearly structured and designed in time.

  • The course provider imports their course from the previous academic year or designs it from scratch. The Moodle course is ready before face-to-face classes start.
  • In the introductory section of the Moodle course, a greeting message is provided to the students and course instructions.
  • Course activities and resources are organised in a meaningful and clearly structured manner, following either a chronological or topical sequence.
  • Course sections and subsections are clearly labelled with headings and accompanied by a short overview.
  • For greater accessibility and a better learning experience, the number of colours and fonts used is limited.
  • Visuals used in Moodle courses are meaningful and related to the content of the section.
  • Resources (i.e., files) associated with a particular topic are grouped into folders.
  • Documents in Moodle courses are in a PDF format unless a different document format is required for learning purposes (e.g., Word or Writer for text editing, program codes, statistical data, etc.). PDF documents are suitable for viewing and printing independent of the devices used by students.
