Organize Course Content
In the Content tool use “Units” to keep related course resources, activities, and content together in one place. For instance you can create a Unit called “Site Resources” and upload all course readings to that folder. Likewise you can name a folder “Unit 1: Poetry” and compile all relevant activities, tasks and assessments to the folder (see picture below).
The most common practice in organizing Course Content is to organize content Units, by Topic unit or by Term week (i.e. Week 7). You may also want to consider creating “sub-units” to further organize course content into applicable themes or tasks. I.e. create a sub unit titled “To do” and compile tasks and resources in this space for easy access.
Here are some examples of how content units (pages) might be organized:
Tip: Units can have sub ‘folders’. You can ‘Create New’ > New Lesson to create a sub page. In the New Lesson you can ‘Create New’ > New Folder. Units are restricted to three tiers or levels of Units, lessons and folders. You cannot have unlimited sub lessons and folders.
Tip: Major Content Units (or folders) have a dark red folder colour, whereas sub-units are indented and have a lighter red colour.
