Course formats guide

The image below shows PGrid format when editing on. Lecturers can move the order of links on the Module Dashboard. Content and activities can be added to the relevant week of the module. Blocks can be added to the right-hand side of the module.

PGrid format contains the Module Dashboard at the top of the module. 

PGrid format has the same blocks applied by default as the City Course Format:

• Quickmail block,
• Module Events and updates blocks,
• Student Information block and
• Staff Information block.

• To create a heading in PGrid, you need to create a Label-Basic.
• Labels and indentations maintain the in week structure for PGrid format.

In the example below, we are in edit mode of the image above.

• The main heading, created with a Label-Basic, is on the far left.
• The subheading, also created with a Label-Basic, has been indented once to the right.
• The content, (Page resource), has been indented two times to the right:
