-At this point you decide fundamentally how your course should be structured. \\
+By selecting the "**Course format**" you basically decide how your course will be structured. You can access it from the "**Settings**" tab on the course overview page.
-The choice depends on your teaching concept: select the topic or the week format and organize your content accordingly either by topic or by week.
-In the grid format, images can be inserted for each topic to help navigate to the topic.
+  * The “**Topic format**” is preset and is usually retained. It is flexible because topics can be added, moved or deleted at any time.
+  * The “**Weekly format**” organizes your content according to calendar weeks. You must set a suitable [[en:moodle:course:settings:date:start|Course start date]].
+  * In the “**Grid**”, images can be inserted for each topic, which are used to navigate to the topic (note that this format will probably be replaced soon).
+  * The course format “**Flexible sections format**” offers teachers the possibility to organize their Moodle course with sections and subsections ({{de:moodle:das_flexible_kursformat.pdf|PDF}} in German).
