16Course Content Items
16.2Learning Module
Updated on 2023-08-20
Teachers can use learning modules in their courses as containers for organising collections of content. Modules let students navigate from one content item to the next without distractions or extra clicks. A learning module helps immerse students in the lesson or concept of teaching.
Use a learning module to support a course objective, concept, or theme. If teachers use a textbook or other materials as the basis for their course curriculum, modules are an effective and logical way to group content to match the pace of these materials.
Note
Teachers can force a content sequence to make sure students know which content to access and in what order. For details, please refer to "28.4 Release content in sequence within Learning Modules".
