Marina, at present the detalt landing ground when you click on a course with single section layout ON is the Course main page.
Is it easy in your possible future to set it to go to the display of section 1?
Also:
Is it easy to have a format control Moodle pages to appear with blocks at the left? I'd like to have a menu block there.
I prefer to have a consistent navigation, and with the pages it goes away.
