Overview
The Topics module provides a neat way to quickly present and link to the various sub pages within denser page/menu structures. To achieve this, the sub pages can be sorted into 'topics', each of which are then further divided into 'sub-topics'. The sub pages are attached at the sub-topics level.
In this sense, the hierarchical order of content within the Topics module still follows a similar structure to a page menu. The only difference is that the top level labels are purely for sorting and do not contain content. Instead, this content is located on the sub pages themselves.
Examples of usage
Here is an example of a Topic structure that might be used to organise primary school class pages:
Main Page | Topic | Sub-Topic | Sub Pages |
Syndicates |
Syndicate A |
Room 1 |
|
Here is the equivalent example for a secondary school:
Main Page | Topic | Sub-Topic | Sub Pages |
Faculties |
Mathematics |
Senior Maths |
|
Finally, here is an example of using the Topics module to structure assessment or lesson content within a virtual classroom page:
Main Page | Topic | Sub-Topic | Sub Pages |
English |
Formal Writing |
Lessons |
|
