How to customize a Module

From the Module Sidebar, you can edit the Module Setting and customize the Module and how the Learners will view its contents, based on the teaching methods and learning goals.

For example, here you can set access requirements to a Module to lead the work independently, carry out a well-defined learning path using the Fixer order option, or facilitate collaboration during group work through an Open Module. 

Only Instructors can edit the Module settings.

You can open the sidebar by clicking on the ፧ icon:

From the Module Settings sidebar, you can:

  • Click on the pencil icon next to the title and rename the module:

  • If a Module is a draft, the Learners won’t be able to see it. Publish or unpublish the Module clicking on the eye icon:

    Turning Modules into drafts is useful for making consistent edits or archiving them. 

  • Indicate the color of the Module preview by clicking on the square of the chosen color:

    Colors help distinguish Modules at a glance: for example, use the same color for Modules about the same topic.

  • A mandatory Module appears in the learner's Progress and counts toward required activities, while an optional Module is labeled Optional and doesn't.

    Click the switch to make a Module mandatory or optional:

    A new Module is automatically set as mandatory.

  • Set prerequisites to access a Module. Read more about setting prerequisites.

  • Add a milestone for the Module’s completion and insert a personalized message to display after completing it. A colored bookmark indicates a Module with a Milestone.

    Click the switch to add the Module completion message:

    A Module is complete if the Learner has viewed all their content and passed all the Assessments.

  • Make the Module Open and allow Learners to upload new content independently. Read more about Open Modules.

  • Activate the Fixed Order option, which will require Learners to view the content in the order it is organized. Click the corresponding switch to enable or disable it:

    Therefore, each content will not be accessible to Learners until the previous one has been completed. Remember that an Exercise will be considered complete only if the passing threshold is met.

    When using this feature:
    - you can reorder of the content only if the Lesson is in draft
    - suggestions are disabled
    - you can’t open the Module without disabling the Fixed Order
