So the social format is a really great way to encourage interaction between the members of a class. but how are students supposed to access the lessons? The lessons I expect my students to complete are not visible at all. Is there a way to display them in one of the sidebars or something?

Re: Using social format...how to access Lessons?

Umm, the format is based around a single 'forum' (https://docs.moodle.org/400/en/Course_formats#Social_format), so I assume that you can't access other modules like lessons. Therefore use another course format, like Topics and configure the forum as required. Or clone the Social format to create a new course format and add an additional functionality to have more modules.

So the social format is not useful for a typical class which has quizzes, discussions, readings, etc. etc.? that seems like a rather odd format for a class. what do people use the social format for? it would seem rather useless for any kind of class that I can think of.
If you are using social format and you want to add other activities then add the Social activities block and add them there.
