How to Add or Delete Modules or Topics in the Content Tool

A module is used to organize a section of content. In some cases you might organize your modules by Chapter, or Week, or perhaps Topic. For example:

• Chapter One, Chapter Two, Chapter Three…
• Week 1, Week 2, Week 3…
• White Cat, Black Cat, Ginger Cat, Grey Cat…
• Roof, Wall, Foundation, Windows, Floor

Click Add a module… which becomes a text box. Enter the module name and click Enter. This new module will now appear under Table of Contents. Repeat this process as many times as needed.

What is a sub-module?

When a module has more than one topic, sub module/s can be added to better organize the content. For example:

• Module: CATS
• Sub-modules: White, Black, Ginger, Grey…
• Module: BUILDING
• Sub-modules: Roof, Walls, Foundation, Windows, Floor…

NOTE: Modules need to be created before adding sub-modules.

Under the Table of Contents, click on the module that needs sub-modules added > click on “Add a sub-module…” which becomes a text box > enter the sub-module name and click Enter.

This new sub-module will now appear under the module. Repeat this process as many times as needed. These sub-modules can also be accessed from the Table of Contents area.

Note: the submodule is indented under it’s main module

Content can be added to the module by clicking on either the New or Add Existing Activities buttons inside the module or sub-module

• NEW – Choose “New” to Upload Files (such as Word, PDFs, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.), or Create a File to add text. For more details on How to Add or Create a File,
• ADD EXISTING ACTIVITES – add activities that have previously been created. For example, these activities include quizzes, assignments or discussions.
