Synopsis
When creating a course in Moodle in the ‘Custom sections’ you can decide how many sections you want up to a maximum that has been set by the administrator. It has been this way since the setting site ‘maxsections’ was introduced in Moodle 2.1 by the tracker issue ‘ MDL-25357 ’. This is set to change in Moodle 5.1 with its removal from use by ‘ MDL-84291 ’, ‘Deprecate max sections setting’, which will remove it for the ‘Custom sections’ format but allow its use in other contributed formats until Moodle 6.0.
In this post I’ll discuss my feelings about this and consider the implications of the change.
