Q: What is the point of having indented levels in course outlines?

What is the point of having indented levels in course outlines? It's not possible to add any materials or posts to this. I want to avoid having simply a long list of topics that are difficult to manage. When I create a topic in the outline, I can indent it, but then I can't add any posts to it as it doesn't even show up as a heading in course manager.

I've been trying to have some kind of logical organisation of materials, but the only thing you seem to be able to do is have a long list of topics.

Which makes me wonder why the possibility of indenting levels is there at all - it seems to be a completely worthless item.

    I guess the point of the indented lists is to provide the user with some description of the topic’s contents. It's a standard convention in the table of contents of books. It might pay to break your course down into a number of courses if the list of topics is getting too unwieldy.
