Moodle's standard topic and weekly formats give teachers very little control over how students navigate and experience their course. For VET delivery — where logical topic sequencing, clear progress indicators, and evidence-collection activities need to flow smoothly — the default formats feel clunky and generic. The AI Course Format is a purpose-built alternative that gives Moodle courses a professional, structured layout with clean navigation, visible progress tracking, and AI-powered recommendations that guide students through their learning journey.
Why your RTO needs this
First impressions matter: a professionally laid out course communicates quality and authority to students. RTOs that invest in course design see higher engagement and better completion rates. The AI Course Format makes a professional layout achievable without a web designer — teachers configure the structure and the plugin handles the presentation. For ASQA, clear course navigation also contributes to the evidence that training delivery is structured and logical — not just a dumping ground of files and links.
Key Features
Card-Based Topic Navigation
Courses display as a visual card grid with topic titles, completion percentages, and status indicators — far more intuitive than the default list view.
Sequential or Free Navigation
Configure whether students navigate topics in sequence or freely — at the course or topic level.
AI Next-Step Recommendations
The AI analyses each student's progress and surfaces 'what to do next' prompts — keeping students moving forward without needing trainer intervention.
Progress Visualisation
Prominent progress bars and completion indicators at the course and topic level keep students informed of where they are in their learning journey.
Mobile-First Design
The course layout is fully responsive and optimised for mobile devices — important for apprentices and trainees who predominantly study on smartphones.
