In the Modules area of the course, instructors can add files, pages, assignments, quizzes, and links to external tools that present in a linear, compartmentalized format.
Pros:
- Modules can include links to files, pages, assessments and communication tools.
- The availability of the module to students is controlled at the module level.
- If a module is unavailable, the content within the module are unavailable until the same date/time.
- If the module is available, release of specific content within the module must be controlled at the tool/file level.
- Assessments and other tools can be added within a module.
Cons:
- Adding files individually within each module results in long, scrolling list.
- Modules cannot be nested.
Note: Creating pages containing the content for each session and adding that within the module can help reduce scrolling and allow a hierarchical structure.
