The course library sorts available courses by relevance by default. You can control how this relevance is calculated using the following weight settings.
Each setting defines how much a specific course property influences the sort order. Values range from 0 (not considered) to 10 (most important). You find these settings by going to Site administration > Plugins > Course formats > Kickstart format > General settings.
Available parameters
Course full name weight
Controls how similar course names affect relevance.
Set a higher value if your course naming conventions are meaningful and consistent.
Course short name weight
Relevance based on course short name.
Set a higher value if short names include structured identifiers such as department codes or academic years.
Course tags weight
Relevance based on shared tags.
Set a higher value if tags are used consistently across the site.Starred course weight
Prioritize starred courses.
Increase this value to give users greater influence over which courses are considered most relevant to them.
Tips for configuring weights
Assign 0 to any criteria you don’t want included in the sort.
Use higher values (e.g. 8–10) for fields that strongly indicate relevance in your course setup.
