Think of Canvas Modules as your student-facing organizational structure. How do you want to organize your content for your students? By weeks? By units of study? By topics? You can decide what works for your course! Modules help you control what students can see by choosing what is published or unpublished and the order for how you want students to engage with your content. You can build new content directly in Modules or add existing content you've already made. Modules can house Pages, Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions, links, and more!

Modules benefit students as well. Modules reduce clicks for students. Once a student enters a content item in a module they can progress, like flipping the pages of the textbook, from an assignment to a discussion to an app just by selecting 'Next'.
