Good Module Design

Here are some nicely designed Modules examples from Instructure:
Although each uses a different approach, they all have a nicely organized and consistent layout. Beneath each link, I've added notes on what I particularly like about the layout.

    • In this example, please notice the nice Course Orientation/Getting Started module and components.
    • Also notice the use of Week by Week modules and the Before Class and After Class sections on those weekly modules to help make expectations of when and what to complete clear. (See Image 1 below.)
    • In this example, notice the use of Module and Section Numbering to create a well organized learning unit. (See Image 2 below.)
U.S. History 2 (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)
    • In this example, notice the use of labeling items clearly with Text to Read, Video, Quiz, etc.  For example in Module 1, the Quiz is title M1 Quiz, and for Module 2, M2 Quiz. (See Image 3 below.)

Seattle Central Simple Template
The eLearning folks at Seattle Central created a Module Template. It is another great example of great module design.
Image 4: Notice the use of Text Headers within module such as "Read & Watch" and "Complete & Submit". Also notice the clear labeling of everything added within the module:
