Welcome to Learning Modules!

Learning Modules (i.e., course content) will be presented to students in an organized way. More specifically, lecture notes, assignments, discussions, and assessments will be grouped into units, chapters, or weeks within your e-Learning courses. Throughout the semester, instructors will provide students with numerous learning materials (e.g., lecture notes, PowerPoint presentations, instructional videos, etc.) and assessments (e.g., assignments, group projects, discussions, quizzes, and tests). It is therefore essential that you know how to access and navigate learning modules within your e-learning courses. Note: Uses and application of learning modules will vary from course to course. The following illustrations will demonstrate how to access and navigate through learning modules within your e-Learning courses.

You may also watch a 2 minute instructional video by clicking the video camera icon:  

Accessing and Navigating Through Learning Modules

Step 1: Under course tools, click Course Content (see figure below).

Step 3: Click on the name of the week/unit/chapter/learning module you wish to access (see figure below).

Step 4: The selected course content will appear (see figure below).

Note: You may click on any page number to go directly to that page. You may also use navigation buttons beneath the text on each page. You may need to scroll down (using the scroll bar on the right side of the screen) to see the navigation buttons located beneath the text on a given page.
