Create a Course Module
To create a new Course Module, go to System Utilities - Course Modules and select the Create button.
1. You will see a table displaying all the question banks, assignments, and web folders holding
resources (e.g. image files) for your class. Select the course components that you want to
include in your new course module.
• You may highlight multiple items in a list using shift-click (for contiguous selections) or
CTRL-click (for multiple individual selections).
• Use the button to add your selections to the list of included elements for your new
course module.
• You may include any combination of question banks, assignments and web folders in
your selected list.
• To select web resources (e.g., images and other files that are referenced by your
question banks and assignments), you must select the folder in which individual
resources reside. You may select any folder or subfolder from your class website, but
note that only the contents of that folder (no subfolders) will be included in your
selection, so if you wish to select subfolders as well you must do so individually.
2. When you are satisfied that the list on the right contains all the elements you wish to include in
your new course module, choose OK.
3. On the next screen, you must specify a name for your course module. Optionally, you can enter
descriptions for each course component. You can also select descriptive names for any web
folders you have selected. Question bank and assignment names cannot be changed.
