Learning Modules
Learning modules are used as containers to organise collections of content (folders, documents, links, files, videos, etc) in sequence. The following are examples of Learning modules in Course Content, one has an image the other the icon , the one on the left has forced sequence enabled.
Clicking on the Week 2 workshop learning module reveal a list of documents with a chain of circles and lines. This means forced sequence is activated and you must complete each item in order in the list. The circle shows the status of each item, grey circle = current, padlock = locked, green tick = complete.
You need to click on the first (current item) in the list
The document will open and you’ll see that the link to the next item is greyed out, this means you need to complete reading the document to enable the link.
When I read to the bottom of the document the link will become activated and then I can progress to the next page.
