Manage sections in a course
Add sections to a course, rename them, and use the section menu for the settings, duplicating or deleting.
Sections are the blocks in which you organise the content of a course, for example one section per chapter. You manage them on the Content tab of the course, in edit mode: click Courses in the menu and then Manage content for the course.
Add a section
At the bottom of the page, click Add section. The new section appears at the bottom with the name “New section”.
Rename a section
Click the pencil next to the section name.
Type the new name and press Enter. Press Escape to cancel.
The section menu
Click the three dots on the right of the section.
| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| Edit settings | Opens the settings of the section: the name, a description and Restrict access. |
| Duplicate | Copies the section with all its content. |
| Delete | Deletes the section with its content, after you confirm. |
Edit the settings of a section
In the section menu, click Edit settings. Change the Section name (1) or add a Description (2), and click Save changes.
Under Restrict access in the same form you keep the whole section closed until a learner meets a condition, for example until a page in the previous chapter is completed. How that works is explained in restrict access to sections and activities.
Once the sections are in place, fill them with content: getting started with course content shows every type, starting with adding a SCORM package. Working in a course that does not exist yet? Begin at creating a new course. When the content is where you want it, publishing it as an LTI tool makes it reachable from your LMS.
