Moodle plugin of the month – Buttons course format
Looking for a cool way to organise and present your Moodle course?
The Buttons course format plugin creates a menu with buttons to access the different sections (Weeks or Topics), one by one.
Features of this plugin include:
- Create groups of sections, to separate topics in modules or weeks
- Create names to the groups to identify them. (e.g. First semester, Topics about a specific theme)
- Dynamically change the colour of the buttons – when active, inactive, hover, and hidden) – which is great because they fit it with your Moodle theme
- Define the list-style – choosing between numbers, letters or Roman numerals
- Select the button’s shape, choosing between squares or circles
This is a nice simple plugin, that can help make your Moodle courses look and feel a little more modern.
The Buttons course format is available in the Moodle plugins database:
