Overview
This article describes the use of Course Formats in Moodle.
Topics
The Topics format is the most common Moodle Course Format.
Topics are sections of content which are laid out similar to chapters of a book.
Single Activity
The Single Activity format allows a Course to host a single Moodle Activity.
This format is useful in special cases such as delivering a stand alone eLearning (SCORM) package where Activity Restrictions (Conditional Access) is not required.
Weekly

This format is most commonly used in Courses which have a distinct beginning need to drip feed content to Learners.
