"In Canvas LMS, modules are the backbone of the learning experience and are the most powerful organizational tool you have at your fingertips. Modules provide that structure you need to make your teaching and learning organized, manageable, and self-contained...Modules can be simple or complex, they can be self-paced or controlled with requirements, and they can even be gamified using badging." - Marcus Painter & Eddie Small, Canvas LMS for Dummies

Creating a Module
Modules allow you to group and organize all of the pages, links, assignments, and quizzes in your course. Many campuses use a weekly module format to store the course content for that week. Modules allow you to ensure that students are able to quickly access the materials they need for that day’s assignments without having to search through an entire semester’s worth of course content.
