The Content Designer activity allows course creators to build structured content directly within a Moodle course. Content is divided into chapters, which can include a range of configurable elements such as text, questions, and media. The activity also includes a table of contents for navigation and a report for tracking learner progress.
Architecture
A Content Designer activity is made up of the following parts:
Table of contents (Pro only) – A navigation panel that shows all chapters in the activity and helps learners navigate through them easily.
Chapters – The main content units. Each activity can contain one or multiple chapters.
Elements – Chapters are composed of configurable content elements.
Outro – A closing section to summarize the chapter or link to the next step.
Report – Provides an overview of learner progress, including which chapters have been viewed and which questions have been answered.
These parts are configured in the content editor inside the activity and displayed in a structured format to learners when viewing the Content Designer activity.
Settings
Each Content Designer activity comes with its own individual settings. Some configuration options are inherited from Moodle’s core functionality. Where applicable, you can refer to the official Moodle documentation for more information.
