Add week in middle of term

I am currently using Moodle 1.9 because my host has not moved to the newest PHP.

For the first time, our school has a week off during the middle of the term.  The terms are 8 weeks.  After resetting a course, I would like to add a week vacation in the middle of the term and move the next few weeks back 1 week.  Is there a way to do this?

This is the first time I am teaching a course with the same schedule, assignments and book and not forcing me to add a whole new course

Hi theresmile Sorry - I meant to offer a suggestion but didn't get round to it. Is your course set up in weekly format or topics format? If you make it topics format then you can call the topics any week you want and so then if you add a new section to the bottom (via the course admin>settings>number of sections) then you can move that section up in between the two you want and name it with the new week. Alternatively you can go to one week in the middle and add a Label, calling the label what you wish - and then adding the resources under the label.

It was in weekly format.  Can I convert/ or add a week inbetween?

Truth in suggesting …. I've not tried this … just thinking out loud ...

Wonder if one could switch the course format to topics, add a section, move the new blank section to the desired place (place for inserted week), then change the course format back to weekly (check start/end date, etc..)?

Yes, you can add one more week inbetween any two selected weeks. for this you have to go throught the following steps as here.

1. edit the course settings.

2. add one more week in this course

3. now move this earliest added week inbetween two selected weeks.

Now by this way a new week can be added inbetween two selected weeks.
