CLE course content is organized into sections. Content can be presented either by topic or by week so that students can follow the course structure easily.
Instructors and Course Managers can edit the course by adding, editing, or deleting sections. There is also the option to hide sections and certain activities within so that they are available when linked but not available directly on the course page.
