The course formats you can choose are:

 

LAMS format

The Learning Activity Management System (LAMS) is an open source Learning

Management System (LMS) that allows teachers to use a Flash-based authoring

environment for developing learning sequences.

 

SCORM format

The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) is a content packaging

standard. SCORM packages are self-contained bundles of content and JavaScript

activities that can send data to Moodle about the students’ scores and current

locations.

 

Social format

The social format is based on a single forum for the whole course.

 

Topics format

When you create a course using the topics format, you start by choosing the number of topics you will cover. Moodle creates a section for each topic.

You can add content, forums, quizzes, and other activities

to each topic section.
