Learning Modules

From FerrisConnect KnowledgeBase

The Learning Module is used to organize content including HTML files, assignments, assessments, web links, discussion topics, and other material in your FerrisConnect course. Content which is related to learning outcomes may be delivered to students in the order an instructor decides to present it. For example, an required article is read, a class discussion follows, then a paper is written and submitted. As many modules as an instructor chooses can be developed for an individual course.

Learner outcomes
