Modules Define Course Sections

The course is divided into units, which they call "sections," by topic. For each section of the course the instructor has created a module which contains the readings required for that topic uploaded directly to the module.

Materials for all units consist largely of the readings required for that section of the course. All of the course materials are visible to students throughout the term; this instructor does not use date availability to reveal content to the students as the semester progresses.

Files are Viewed within the Browser in an Overlay

The instructor has set the files within folders to "view and download." With this setting, the files open in an overlay to display directly in the page and show a download button in the upper right corner if the student prefers to read the content offline. 

Assignments Contained in a Module

All of the assignments in the course, along with materials required to complete them are uploaded in a module named "Assignments." 

Discussion and Links to Films 

The bottom of the content area contains a discussion board and a final module with links to films that are relevant to the course content. Clicking these links opens them in a new tab in a web browser; in most cases the links point to a resource page at the library where students can obtain a copy of the film.
