Creating Modules
What the heck is a module?
You are probably most familiar with the idea of using folders to organize your course content. In Canvas, content is organized using modules instead of folders. A module is basically a container that holds and groups your content together. Modules help students walk through course resources and activities in a sequential fashion.
Modules can be titled by subject/topic, by week number, by module number, or however else you desire. The modules in this course are organized by sequentially numbered topics.
