  Weekly structure possible

  Hey All,
  
  Our course is structured on a week to week basis, called problem based learning (PBL). Each week the learning is based upon a different medical scenario/problem.
  
  Is it possible to have a structure similar to Moodle, where all activities for that week are listed chronologically? Rather than having all activities broken down into categories (forum, tests, content, links).
  
  Although I like the extra functionability of Atutor, the GUI is counter intuitive for our type of course.
  
  I would love to hear if this is possible in atutor.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Marius van Rijnsoever

  I'd suggest creating a weekly summary page, and copying links to the activities for the week to that page.

  I have decided not to go with Atutor and with Moodle instead.
  
  Even though Atutor has more features, the course/GUI layout in Atutor is confusing. Creating a summary page and copy-pasting links is a lot of extra work and this really should be done by the software.
  
  I would love to see the different course types available in Moodle (weekly based, topic based, etc, etc) incorporated in Atutor.
  
  Best Wishes,
  
  Marius

  Sorry to hear that.
  
  Moodle follows specific learning scenarios, where ATutor has been created to be adaptable to any learning scenario. Usually its just a matter of applying a little creativity. Creating weekly lessons, could be done by simply creating Week 1, Week 2 ... content sections.
