Main ideas / lesson conveyed

The speaker demonstrates how to configure a course/class layout and availability in a learning management system (LMS). The focus is on:

  • Selecting a course and opening its editing/settings panel
  • Choosing the course structure format (e.g., weekly, single-topic)
  • Controlling which sections appear (folded vs expanded; one section per page vs all on one page)
  • Configuring which UI elements students can see (announcements, activities, reports, uploads/files)
  • Setting the active date range for course weeks and the lecture access window
  • Ensuring the number of accessible weeks matches the planned lecture duration and the academic calendar

Method / step-by-step instructions mentioned

1) Open and choose a course to configure

  • Go to the dashboard on the left.
  • View the list of registered/effective courses below.
  • Select the desired course (example referenced: “Desa”).
  • Click the button to set up the course.

2) Edit course settings (right-side settings panel)

  • In the right-side settings panel:
    • Click the settings button.
    • Change settings on the opened page.
  • Confirm the course details (full course name, etc.) are already set—no need to adjust general settings first.

3) Set the course format

  • Navigate to the course format area (dropdown example shown).
  • Choose among available format options, including:
    • Single format / Social format / Topic format / Weekly format
  • The speaker’s typical choice:
    • Weekly format

4) Configure section visibility and page layout

  • In the hidden section / section visibility options:
    • Keep certain sections hidden/folded (the speaker mentions “folded” behavior).
  • Layout options discussed:
    • Show one section per page
    • Show all sections on one page
  • Speaker’s selection:
    • Show all sections on one page
  • Language/appearance option:
    • Display in Indonesian (speaker indicates selecting “all Indonesian”).

5) Configure announcements and activity/report tracking visibility

  • Announcement settings
    • Set the number of announcements (example suggests it can be five).
  • Display ranking / student activities toggle
    • Choose whether to show student activities/ranking (speaker selects Yes).
  • Activity report display
    • Control whether activity reports are shown (speaker suggests leaving it enabled for ease).
  • Uploads/files display
    • If the system restricts changes, you cannot change the upload/file display behavior—leave it as-is unless the platform was updated to allow modifications.
  • Tracking of activities
    • Enable display of activity tracking (tracking of actions carried out by students).
  • Period settings
    • Mentions lecturer/teacher assignment period; it may be system-set rather than manually required.

6) Set course date range (start/end) using lecture-week rules

After selecting weekly format, set:

  • Lecturer/availability start date
  • Lecturer/availability end date

Guidance/examples mentioned:

  • If the intent is a limited window, the speaker’s example is “up to four months only.”
  • Example workflow:
    • Start on the 20th of a month
    • Extend “until the end”
    • Then specific week dates are shown

7) Week access behavior and meeting schedule constraints

  • Week access is not strictly limited by the “meeting day”; instead, access windows are used.
  • Lectures may be offline on certain days, but students can still perform lecture activities within the broader window.
    • Example base: Saturday/Sunday
    • Example access window: Monday to Sunday
  • Assignments have limited time; the emphasis is on knowledge/learning activities rather than purely matching meeting hours.

8) Validate against the academic calendar / end-of-lecture date

  • If the end date looks wrong:
    • Check the university’s academic calendar
  • The end of lectures is determined by the university/system calendar compliance.

9) Save updates and update week counts / add weeks

  • Save changes:
    • Use save or save and display after updating settings.
  • The speaker notes the system may already be in a “live” mode—avoid toggling repeatedly.
  • Add additional weeks if needed:
    • Example: add Sundays or additional week entries.
  • Mentioned planning logic:
    • Planned duration may extend beyond defaults (example references up to 16 weeks; mentions planning around 12 within the described structure; and even references up to 27 based on the date logic).
  • After finishing:
    • Close settings
    • Verify the course displays correctly with the added weeks
