What are Learning Modules?

Learning modules are an effective and student friendly way to group content and set the pace of your course. 

You can use learning modules in your course as containers for organized collections of content. For example, learning modules can be organized to support a course objective, concept, theme, or unit.

Alternatively, you can allow students to explore the content in a learning module at their own pace and in any order.

How to Create a Learning Module:

You can add learning modules directly on the Course Content page:

  1. Select the purple plus button to add a learning module wherever you want on your Content Page
  2. In the menu, select Create to open the Create Item panel.
  3. Select the Learning module.

You can also drag existing content into modules or use the plus icon to add new content directly.

You can add these items to a learning module:

  • Documents
  • Files
  • Tests and assignments
  • Folders
  • Multimedia
  • Links to websites, discussions, and journals
