Creating Content Modules and Sub-modules
A module is a place where you can add content to your space. You can also create sub-modules to add more content that belongs to the same module but a different topic. Think about modules and sub-modules as if they were folders and subfolders that help you maintain your content in a structured and organised way.
A module must be created before you can add content. Create sub-modules (modules within existing modules) to establish a deeper hierarchy.
Step One: Access the Learning Space Area
1. Click Learning Space from the navbar menu to start adding modules to your space.
Step Two: Add a Module
In the Learning Space screen, you will find the Table of Contents on the left-hand side. Under this section, there is a grey text field labelled Add a module.
1. Click the Add a module field.
2. Enter a name for your new module.
3. Hit the Enter key to create the module. Your new module is now listed under the Table of Contents.
Tip: To create more modules and structure your course content, repeat these steps until you have completed your course structure.
Step Three: Add a Sub-module
1. Click on the Module you want to create a sub-module in.
2. Click the Add a sub-module field.
3. Enter a name for the sub-module. The new sub-module will appear indented under its module in the Table of Contents menu on the left-hand side of the screen.
Note: You can make as many modules or sub-modules as you need to until your course structure is complete.
Tip: To re-order your modules or sub-modules, mouseover on the six small dots that appear to the left of any module name, click and drag the module up or down the list.
Step 4: Remove a Module
1. To remove a module, click on the module name you want to remove in the table of contents list
2. Click on the drop-down "▼" arrow to the right of the main module title
3. Verify that you are in the correct module and click Delete Module.
Note: This method of deleting a module can also be applied to a sub-module by clicking on the sub-module's name.
