Modules

Modules allow instructors to organize content based on unit, chapters or subject. Some instructors may release content over time while others allow you to see all the content at once. If instructors are release content over time the modules will look similar to the figure below.

  1. Module 1 – Completed – All of items in module 1 were required for students to complete. After the student completes all the assignments a checkmark is placed by each completed item and the module.
  2. Module 2 – In Progress –When the assignments are completed in the first module are completed the students will have access to the second module. There is one requirement in the second module and the module will display in progress until the requirement is met.
  3. Module 3 – Locked – The third module is locked and students will not have access until the requirement in the second module is completed.
