Moodle in English -> Teaching with Moodle -> Newbie, course layout and quiz question best practices -> Re: Newbie, course layout and quiz question best practices

On 1. Subtopics: Moodle core doesn't have subtopics. There are all sorts of additional plug-ins which will add that capacity. Right now I'm trying to simulate subtopics without those add-ons, because we plan to exchange our work and the additional plug-ins come in out way. I'm using labels and the horizontal tab, which was reintroduced in 4.1, I believe https://moodledev.io/general/releases. But the generous and illogical layout of 4.x still make me stay with the well-tested 3.9 (LTS). Ref. 4.X Boost theme - any way to change container height and hide box outlining?
On 2. Quizzes: Your problem will be the too many choices you'll have. But I don't think bundling two different topics in to a single post was a good idea. For 1. there is the dedicated Themes forum. For 2. the Quiz forum.

Hi Juan
Many thanks for the complete answer. It cleared the "doubts" I had after a meeting. It also saddened me by the FUD people spread.
Moodle Mobile App is perfectly suitable for the institution I was asking the question for. In fact, the EUR 199.- p.a. resp. EUR 499.- are perfectly OK for them, if they have to. A concern in the back of my mind was, that there are various communities who depend on the Moodle app offline features to take learning to remote places without Internet, or can not afford the rates. Putting caps on them would have hampered them. (You know that, this is for the casual visitor. Here's a recent example: Designing for mobile and offline environments.)

You've found a more than fair dividing line between the broad (free) education and the (money driven) "enterprise".

It depends on how much the students depend on the tutors. If the tutors are supposed to see only their students, not others' students, then Moodle core is insufficient. Because when a tutor enrolls students to this course, he sees the names of everybody, teachers and students.
On moodle.org this feature is called multi-tenancy. There are two modified Moodle versions doing this: Moodle Workplace (closed source) and IOMAD (open source). You have to contact those projects for more.
