Moodle Cards format

A format which displays sections of your courses as cards with images, similar to format_grid or format_tiles. The cards format is an extension of the default Topics format to make it easier to maintain.

Features

• Large cards with user configurable background images
• Responsive cards scale down for mobile devices
• Choose between horizontal and vertical cards, or square grids
• Cards can display a user's completion progress for each section
• Easily import images used in the grid format

Installation

The cards format only requires a version of Moodle still receiving general or security support. You can check whether your version of Moodle is supported by looking at the release calendar https://moodledev.io/general/releases
