Modules

A module is a chapter of your course. Besides its lessons it has a description, the skills it teaches, key terms and a colour. Select a module in the tree to edit them.

• A course needs at least 2 modules to publish. The publish page warns about a module with no description.
• Only the creator adds, deletes and reorders modules. A collaborator with access to a module can change its skills and key terms, not its title, description or colour.
