Creating a Learning Module 

Blackboard provides as one option, a learning module, that is basically a container for web pages that appear in a sequence.


Learning Module Features

  • consist of a table of contents to which files are added - any type of file may be added such as a web page, word document, powerpoint file, audio file etc.

  • provide an automatic navigation system, to enable the student to move through the pages simply by clicking on the next button in the Action Menu at the top of the screen.

  • provide for addition of interactive elements such as self-tests, direct link to relevant discussion posting etc that can be added to the left menu for each page

  • include multi-media options, such as audio and video that can be added to the
    left
    Menu so that students can read the page, hear an explanation, and possibly observe modeling of a concept by viewing  a video

  • contain an HTML editor which enables faculty to create or edit web pages within the module

Naming Files
Remember to name the files in a logical manner so that you can easily recognize their location in your web site. For example, this page  is named m3conmod.htm. This means module 3 learning or content module.
