Configuration issues with Moodle

Weeks in a term

In the school Configuration, administration can decide the number of terms in a school year as well as the number of number of weeks in a term.

Out of the box, Moodle's courses all assume a school year with two 18-week semesters. Many of the classes are set up for 18 weeks of work.  If the school does not follow this approach, then all the classes will need to be manually updated to reflect the length of term the school has chosen.
