Maintained by Mathieu Pelletier
A streaming-inspired, episode-based course format that applies familiar media UI patterns to Moodle to reduce cognitive load and keep learners focused on the content.

Inspired by Lewis Carr's 2025 iMoot presentation, "Reimagining Course Design for the Streaming Generation".  This format borrows heavily from streaming platform UX affordances.  Each course unit is a "learning episode" with the episode content coming from H5P, SCORM, YouTube URL's, etc.  The episode takes up the majority of screen space, with a sidebar dedicated to "related resources" and "related activities".

Edit mode preserves a familiar topics view, for course setup and configuration.  Non-editing view hides most of the Moodle UI, with some elements hidden behind toggles.

This is an early beta, so there is lots of room for improvement.  That said, I am already using it in production with a small cohort of students, so it is stable. Community feedback is much appreciated!
