Canvas provides flexible options for how to build your course. Modules allow you to organize course content and direct the flow of your course. Modules can be set up to require students to complete materials in a sequential fashion (e.g., Week 1, Week 2, Week 3), and each module can contain files, assignments, assessments, discussions, and other learning materials. In adding content to your modules, please be sure to use the right headings in your course content for accessibility.
You can determine what tools are or are not available in your course, what page displays as the homepage when students first log in, and how that page looks.
You might consider organizing course material based on:
specific units or themes
number of weeks in the course
specific sequence of course assignments
After adding content to the modules, you can set up prerequisites that manage what modules must be completed before another is opened. You can then set your requirements for each module. Requirements include what content within the module must be completed in order for the module to be considered complete.
Note that prerequisites and requirements only manage availability of modules and the content within those modules.
