There are several Module settings available to you which can help to pace student progress during the term. The following settings can be defined for each Module:

• Lock Date: Lock the Module until a given date
• Prerequisites: Set requirements that must be completed prior to moving to the next Module
• Requirements: Set requirements that students must meet before they can move to the next Module
• Module Item Order: Require students to move through each Module item in order

To access the Module settings, click the Modules link from the Course Navigation. Click the Settings icon and select the Edit link.

Lock Module

You can set Modules to be locked until a given date.

Click the Lock module until a given date checkbox.

Type the date in the Unlock At field or select the Calendar icon to set the date when the module will unlock.

Set the date and time the module will unlock at by clicking on the day, typing the time in the time field, and clicking the Done button. Click Update Module to save your changes.

The unlock date and time will appear in the module header and at the bottom of the module. Once the date/time have passed, the unlock date will only be shown in the module header.

Set a Module Prerequisite

Prerequisites are defined by associated requirements in a module, meaning that students must complete all requirements within one module before moving to the next module. Without setting requirements in order, prerequisites do not serve a purpose.

Please Note: You cannot prevent a student from accessing an upcoming module unless prerequisites have been set for the prior modules.

Click the Add Prerequisite link to add a prerequisite [1]. Select the They must complete drop-down menu [2], and select the module students must complete before moving on.

You can click the Add Prerequisite link again to add additional prerequisites, if necessary.

Click the Update Module button to set your prerequisite(s).

The prerequisites will appear at the bottom of the module.

Set a Module Requirement

You can add requirements for a Module that students must meet before they can move to a following Module.

Please Note: You will need to add content items before you can specify how a user will complete this module.

Click the Add Requirement link [1]. Select the requirement item at the For drop-down menu [2]. Select the result of the requirement at the users must drop-down menu [3].

Click the Add Requirement button again to create additional requirements, if necessary.

Please Note: If you have multiple iterations of an module item, you can set different requirements for each item.

Click the Update Module button to set requirement(s).

The newly created requirements will appear below the item title.

Required Module Item Order

You can add requirements to Modules to require students to move through each Module item in order.

Click the drop-down menu and select the requirement and an appropriate action. To add additional requirements, click the Add requirement link again.

Click the Students must move through requirements in this module in sequential order checkbox to require students to move through the module requirements in a sequential order.

Click the Update Module button to save the changes.
