More About Modules

Once you've gotten the basics down about modules, you may want to consider trying out Module Prerequisites and Module Requirements.

Prerequisites

Require that students complete certain modules before they can access another module

Requirements

In order to be able to mark a module as complete, students must complete whichever requirements you create. Requirements are typically used in conjunction with Prerequisites or Badging. You can decide if students have to complete every assignment in your module or just some. You can even simply require that students just "view" the contents of your module. It's completely customizable.
