The Learning Module provides a method of organizing a list of activities for your students to complete. The Learning Module links to other tools in the course so you, the instructor, do not spend a lot of time "road mapping" for your students. The Learning Module can also be a place to house a collection of files such as forms, presentations, etc.

To create a Learning Module:

1. Under the Build tab click Learning Module
2. Click Create Learning Module
3. Type in a title for your module (Example Week 1, Unit 1, Red Blood Cells)
4. You may provide a description
5. You may or may not wish to use the numbering system for your files but it is recommended you do.
