Create Modules
Modules are the primary way of grouping content for easy and clear student access. You can create modules by week, by topic, by unit, etc.
Step 1
Select Content in the navbar.
Step 2
In the Table of Contents panel, select the Add a module field and enter the new module's name.
Step 3
Press the Enter or Tab key.
Add Sub-modules
Create a Sub-module (a module within a module).
Step 1
Select the Add a sub-module box at the bottom of an existing module.
Step 2
Enter the name of the sub-module.
Step 3
Press the Enter or Tab key.
Add Descriptions
Content Descriptions provide information about the module, such as the learning objectives.
Step 1
While in Content, select the Module to which you want to add a description under Table of Contents.
Step 2
Select Add a description.
Step 3
Enter the description and select the Update button.
Control What Students See
By default, Content Modules are visible to students. To make them invisible to students, they need to be changed to hidden.
Step 1
While in Content, select the Module you want to make invisible to students under Table of Contents.
Step 2
To the far right of the Module, select the eye icon (Visible).
Step 3
Select the toggle switch to change the status to Hidden.
Enable Date Restrictions to Content Modules
Note
Date restrictions do not hide modules and topics from students, but they do prevent students from accessing the topic links until the Start Date (or after the End Date). These links will be grayed out and cannot be selected outside your set dates.
Step 1
While in Content, under Table of Contents, select the Module to which you would like to add date restrictions.
Step 2
Select Add dates and restrictions.
Step 3a
Select Add Start Date and enter a date and time.
Note
The start date is the date that students can access the content. They will still see the module before this date (unless manually hidden), but any links inside will not work.
Step 3b
Select End Date and enter a date and time if you want to prohibit access to content after a given date.
Note
When the end date passes, students will still see the module, but the links inside will not work.
Step 3c
Use the Due Date if you want a date when the module should be completed to appear on the calendar.
Step 4
After setting the dates, select Update.
