Learning Module Table of Contents – Instructor View – 4000.4
Impact: Instructors
Updated Help Topic: Learning Modules (Instructor)
Idea Exchange ID: LEARNU-I-159
Instructors now have access to a collapsible Table of Contents panel in Learning Modules. This update mirrors the student experience and supports consistent navigation across roles. Instructors can quickly move between module items and access content that isn’t yet available to students—without switching to Student Preview or changing availability settings.
This streamlined workflow helps instructors review and organize course content more efficiently, saving time and improving course management.
The Table of Contents panel includes all items in a module. Select Contents to open or collapse the panel. Instructors can navigate the full module structure and align course design with the student experience.

For smaller screen sizes, when an instructor sets up an assignment within a learning module, the settings panel moves from the right-hand side into the header bar. This is signified by a settings cog.
The change has been made to allow more space on the screen with the left-handed table of contents available. Users accessing that board on smaller screens, you will notice that the settings cog has moved to the header bar for that particular piece of assessment.
For discussions instructors also see that the participation panel and settings panel both move into the header bar as buttons on smaller screen views.
