Modules appear on the My Institution tab or customized module tabs. They contain tools such as a calculator or display dynamic information such as grades, alerts, and announcements. Users can select the links in modules to navigate to areas in their courses.
For example, a Multiple Choice Poll module can engage students. The module presents a question with answer choices. After users select an answer, they see the poll results.
The tables below lists the modules available, who the module is intended for, and where users can find the module. You can find descriptions for each module on the Modules page from the Administrator panel.
