Modules help keep course content organized for the instructor and for students. Content can be organized in modules by weeks, units, or other structures relevant to your course.

Modules can be useful ways to highlight all the course materials a student needs to view and work on during a particular stretch of time. For example, each module might contain a weekly overview and instructions, upcoming readings, assignments, quizzes, and any supplemental materials needed for that stretch of time. Instructors can create a flow for the delivery of content that matches the syllabus.

Modules also have features like Requirements and Prerequisites that can help you guide students through course materials in a particular sequence.
