In Moodle, four types of course formats define the outline

Single activity format

 Suitable when you have just one activity or resource to study. For example, a survey, a book, or a video lecture. Also, choose this format if you have a SCORM package.

You can use a single activity format to assign learners some readings

Topics format

Organizes content into different sections (lessons, units, or whatever you prefer to call it).

Topics are the most popular format for organizing an eLearning course

Weekly format

This is similar to the topics format, but instead of units, you’ll have weeks. This is a good option for you if you’d like to set a regular learning pace for your students.

You can rename dates into Week 1, Week 2, and so forth, to make a course more reusable

Social format 

If you choose this format, then you’ll have a forum instead of traditional units. This is a good choice when you need informal learning and would like to encourage discussions between learners.

Who said that learning platforms are only for e-courses? Forums are super useful for helping learners to get to know each other and allow productive informal communication
