About course navigation

Depending on how complex a course or unit is, it may be divided into Modules. Think of Modules as a map to successfully complete and track your progress through the assigned unit.

Each module will have learning materials and activities in an order that is best for completing the course, such as videos, assignments, or online quizzes.

Accessing and viewing modules

Click on the button below on the Course Home Page:

Or select "Modules" from the Course Navigation on the left.

If you do not see the image above or "Modules" in the Course Navigation, it is not being used in that course or unit.

Understanding the modules index

You may notice in the modules list that you cannot open some items. These might be locked for one of the following reasons:

A prerequisite must be completed first to open the content (view video above)

Items have to be opened or completed in a certain order (video showing sequential requirements). The requirement is listed in the module item title.

The module requirements that you have already completed are shown by a green checkmark.
