Description

Let your students focus on what matters - learning, with the all-new and intuitive Edwiser Course Formats plugin! Choose from unique course formats like Card and List.

Edwiser Course Formats plugin comes with two different layouts for your courses.

The List Format is one of the simplest course formats you can come across. Using this format, you can list your course activities in the form of lists. This format is minimalistic in design, with an option to collapse/expand course sections. The collapsible nature of List format completely removes any scope of endless scrolling across courses.

Card Format is another standout course format in the offering. Edwiser Card Format displays your courses neatly stacked as cards on your course page. This format is pleasing to the eye and also highly functional.

Note: Please use image of 34:35 size in card layout to apply proper background to cards.
