Staff Guide: Modules and Pages

The Teaching and Learning Academy recommend the use of Modules to allow users to easily navigate the course.

Modules also provides a level of consistency across all courses and is accessible on a mobile device. That's not to say that you cannot use pages. Pages make your content more visually appealing, if you'd like to use Pages as your homepage, and create your own flow of information, ensure that you also use Modules in the background to allow students to easily navigate your course.
