Choose a format to determine how sections or topic blocks will behave on your course page. The topics Topics format is the default and is highly recommended. If you are familiar with earlier versions of AsULearn, you'll find that the Topics format in AsULearn 4 now combines the best features of Topics and Collapsed Topics.

Why are there fewer course formats to choose from now than in the past? Great question! Our team works with the LMS Advisory Group to regularly review student survey data, and a common theme has been difficulty navigating courses organized in different formats. After testing and careful consideration, we've settled on the most adaptive, mobile-friendly, and accessible course formats. We hope that moving forward, our students will benefit from more overall consistency among courses in our LMS. |
