Import the Common Course Format

Introduction

ATSI has created a Common Course Format Template that faculty can import into their courses. This provides instructors with an easy head-start on structuring content in Moodle courses in a way that follows best practices for course design and accessibility. Once the template is imported, faculty can add their content to the available space, and modify the template elements to fit their own course design needs.
