The Modules area provides students with access to all course content and activities and enables you to organize them in a "modular" structure so students can focus on the information they need and work they will be doing each week.

Each week, the module contains a mix of readings, videos, quizzes, and assignments. For example, Week 1 might include an introductory video, a reading assignment, and a discussion forum, while Week 2 might have a quiz, a case study, and a group project. This structure keeps the course organized and ensures students know exactly what to focus on each week.

The module structure and content can vary by course. Instructors are encouraged to contact their academic department for assistance with course objectives and learning outcomes, which help inform how and what content is recommended for each week.

This is an example of how a weekly modules structure looks like:
