Modules | Section 3 of 7

Modules are used to organize course content by weeks, units, or a different organizational structure. Modules essentially create a one-directional linear flow of what you should do in a course (this course was organized using modules).

Each module can contain files, discussions, assignments, quizzes, and other learning materials.

Modules in student view, with descriptions of each item.

Modules are set up by your instructor and may be different for every course. Modules will always display:

  1. A Module topic or title
  2. Dotted line indicating the end of a Module
  3. Conditions set by your instructor for that Module
  4. Line items inside the Module, represented by different icons.
