 Best Practices for Learning Modules

Keep these best practices in mind as you work with learning modules.

• Determine the structure of the course before beginning to create them in your course.
• Use them to organize content into concise groupings that are easy to navigate for both teachers and sturdents.
• Apply large bucket names to the main folders.
• Use a standard naming convention inside them to group content and activities.
• Learning modules can be made available automatically on a specific date. Therefore, if you want to restrict the availability of materials to learners until a certain date, you will need to select the visibility status as show/hide on date and set the date desired for its release.
