Adding a Content Module

Content Modules are folders (headings) in on the Course Content menu.  All content links must be inside a Content Module.

Your course can have one Content Module or several, and you can nest Content Modules inside other, “parent” Content Modules. You can also set the enumeration style (or omit the enumeration altogether) or modify other display settings.

Content modules and their contents are displayed by default in a sidebar menu left of the main Content Menu. You can modify this menu or eliminate it altogether.

To add a Content Module:

  1. Click Content in the NavBar.
  2. Click icon New Module (top).
  3. If you want to nest the Content Module inside another Content Module, select the parent module from the dropdown menu.
  4. Enter a title (e.g., About Your Instructor) to be displayed in the Content Module table of contents.
  5. Enter a short title (e.g., Instructor) to be displayed in the sidebar menu.
  6. If you don’t want contents to be numbered, click Hide enumeration for this module.
  7. If you don't want to display this module to everyone beginning immediately, click the Restrictions tab.
    • To hide the module from students temporarily, click Hide. (You'll need to unclick this later.)
    • To display the module during a certain time period, enter start and stop dates.
    • To restrict display of this module to students who have met a certain course criteria or belong to a certain group or section, click Create and Attach and enter your conditions.
  8. Click Save.
