Moodle 2.0

Chapter 4
If you have too many categories to display on the front page, you can limit the
number by using the setting under Site Administration | Front page | Front page
settings | Maximum Category Depth.

the Academic Demo Courses category from the front page. Notice that unlike in the

Notice that even though the student is looking at the Academic Demo Courses
category, a drop-down list of Course categories enables the student to see the other
categories. Typical of Moodle, this enables the student to jump to another part of the
site without having to return to the front page.
Categories provide a site-wide way to organize your courses. You can
also create subcategories. The categories or subcategories become an
online course catalog. Organize them in the same intuitive way that you
would a printed course catalog.
